Started The Ole Bed Bob Today!

Go slow welding the sheet, or it'll warp like crazy.
Tack here, tack over there, then way over here, keep splitting the distance between the tacks until you can run a bead between them.

well she's all done now except for the bondo that'll come when i paint her. but its lookin pretty good now. it took us a surprisingly long time to do all of this tho cuz i wanted it perfect so we had a whole whole lot of grinding involved but i am still very proud of the work we did.
me and my buddy are gonna have to build a new bumper now since the old smittybuilt wont go on anymore but thats no bug deal

thanks guys.
bleeder this was a choice of what was smart this time lol
it is my dd but i wheel it ALOT and was always gettin hung up on the stupid longbed.
scuba, i only took out a foot because i wanted to be able to buy a canopy and put one on for when i'm travelin to college and what not.
ya know i've had countless people tell me that i should have taped off a nice stripe but i'm just not too worried about it for the time being because the whole thing is gettin a fresh coat of olive drab soon since the factory paint on it is startin to go to crap
