thanks

I power washed it after spraying it down with Simple Green, then sanded it down with 180/320 and then wiped the whole thing down with lacquer thinner. All the parts I could get off I bead blasted.

I used Duplicolor engine enamel. Valve cover, water pump and fuel pump where all re-gasket before putting it back together so now it should really leak!

Started making the cover for the bed floor. I'm going to use blind rivets to hold it down (they should be here before the weekend). Now we don't have to worry about our stuff falling out as we drive.
