Looks like you're gaining on it. Think it will be at any shows this year?

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-28-2022, 04:18 PM

Looks fantastic!

**davischevy** · 01-28-2022, 04:24 PM

My motivation is on the trailer.

**Getter-Done** · 01-28-2022, 11:18 PM

So you are a Happy Camper Right now.

That is great News

It's looking Great

**Richard** · 01-29-2022, 04:57 AM

Looks awesome! I know how it feels to get it back. Same colors mine was originally. I did think about retaining the colors but as much as I like it still do not regret the color change on my truck in remembrance of my dad.

57taskforce · 01-29-2022, 03:50 PM

Damn you’ve done fine work! It’s looking really nice. Now for the million dollar question… now that it’s almost done… is this one truly your last hoorah?

52napco · 04-16-2022, 07:59 AM

Well I've hit a wall.....my painter had a stroke and is not doing good..I refuse to be an ass and hound him about painting my bed so hopefully he recovers and can get it done in the next little bit..

**davischevy** · 04-16-2022, 08:39 AM

I'm sorry to hear about your painter. Maybe he will recover fully.

If my painter keeps going at the rate he's going he is going to have a stroke. He has a large shop but he's been doing my stuff himself, and now he's working nights on our motorhome. Doing some touch-up on it. He can't keep this work schedule up for ever.

I hope he has a full recovery.

52napco · 04-28-2022, 07:21 AM

Painter is doing good and back on my bed..it's apart since I bought a new floor, front panel and one bedside .. everything else was good and truthfully floor and front panel wasn't that bad
But I wanted the inside of bed to be perfect also.
I'm making baby steps daily getting it back together.

**Getter-Done** · 04-30-2022, 09:37 PM

Good to hear.

I hope too see you there

52napco · 05-05-2022, 10:58 AM

Bedsides are ready for final prime then everything
Off to the paint booth..new floor, ds bedside and front
Panel..ps was nice except for welding up travel tank hole..
Hopefully will see paint next week.

**68bowtie** · 05-07-2022, 08:50 PM

Impressive progress for just a couple quick years! Looking great.

How was it welding the PS tank hole? How slow do you have to go to keep everything straight?

52napco · 05-08-2022, 07:37 AM

My son Tig welder it in...he would do about a quarter inch and cool it off with blower nozzle.
Then go to the other side ad repeat. Slow process but on a flat area it's easy to warp the panel.

52napco · 05-13-2022, 06:45 AM

Slow and steady wins the race..😁😁 beds parts in final primer
Next week wet sand and paint.

**IronCanine** · 05-13-2022, 07:31 AM

Exciting! Looking good.

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-13-2022, 09:39 AM

Nice!

**Getter-Done** · 05-13-2022, 09:30 PM

Great news

**davischevy** · 05-13-2022, 09:40 PM

Looks great. Paint is the hard part.
