Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Since I went to all the trouble to fix things, when taking my metal strips out the paint had cracked where the carrage bolts were. So instead of sanding and painting I ordered new Stainless Steel strips. I check with LMC today (placed order on Monday), they are now to a minimum staff and said my order should ship Friday, and I should receive no later that nex Thursday. So now it's the waiting game. Will update you later...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Update on bed. I was pleasantly surprized late Saturday when my bed strips were delivered. So on Sunday, I started reassembly on the bed woood and strips. Got 6 boards and strips installed. On Monday Mark helped me with the last two boards and I really love how it looks. After we got it done, I took it down the road a few miles just to make sure everything was tight. So here's a few pics...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I read through your build over the last week. Your truck is great. Love the roadster look. I just finished reading mark’s orangepeel build last week. I may be using your burnt wood idea. I really like how it came out!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
The bed looks great! I'll bet it was nice to be able to clean everything up with the wood out of there! Sweet truck!
