true i will think about it. btw how many cans would it take to paint a whole truck?

 

you web page is hard to read because of the pictures in the background. If that was made plain, it be great.

 

yeha i know its a work in progress i dont really like it either.

UPDATE:my welder broke gerrrrr

im really pissed right now! that thing is like a week old and it broke. :cry: it was the most expensive one at the hardwear store too. time to find the recipt. just when i thought i was makeing good progress too.

 

UPDATE:
welder is fixed and frame is done. i re-installed the gas tank and found out my bracket i welded on was off so i forced the bolts to line up but it works. i replaced most ogf the fule lines but then ran out of hose so i will need more. i sprayed on some ruberized undercoating on the gas tank too but a lot of it rubed off what i was trying to install the tank without letting it fully dry(it was getting dark) anyway thats how it stands now. i will try to post some pics tomarrow after school. and then i need to start on the bed.

 

ok well i havent gotten much don except just placeing the lights on the front bumper to see how they look. i didn't wire them up yet because i will be preping everything for paint soon.

also does anybody know of anyone who mounted a winch to the front of their truck without getting a new bumper. i would like to just tie the winch and plate into the frame and front crossmember useing some angle iorn and stuff. i would make a bumper but i dont have a tube bender and the welder kinda blew the tool budget for now. any ideas? i cant seem to find anyone who has done this.

 

Hey I saw this today, you'll have to scroll down through to find the pics. He mounted the winch on the passenger side floor and ran the cable out to the bumper... Its pretty cool I think, just my .02

Hey, how much did that tent put you back? I have a pretty modest garage and it's full of crap anyway. I've been looking for a good cheap tent/carport that I can park under and have protection from the elements while I work on the cars in my care.

 

$230.00 at pepboys

 

ok the herculiner bedliner is in the truck and all over my hands and arms too it looks good but i kinda made a mess and driped everywhere good thing the truck bed is in primer so i can easily fix it. i have a busy spring break planded working and visting family but i'm gonna try to get a littl bit of the tapeing done in preperation for paint and stuf

 

What prep work did you have to do to your bed to make it ready for the liner?

 

um from start to finish i:

washed out the bed

grinded and sanded all the rust and some kind of tar like stuff that the PO put in there

welede in patch oannles to fix the rusted out parts

BONDO and sanding

sprayed the whole thing with primer

cleaned the whole thing withe minral spirits and acetone

dryed it with an air compresser

taped off everything

applyed the liner.

 

Any pics of the liner installed bro?

 

well i have some pics but cat post them due to the fact that my parents have stripped me of my computer privliges except for homework. but it looks nice and now the entire truck is primered so hopefuly i can get to work on the stuff needed for inspection soon

 

 

Next time you get a chance, can you get some pictures of just the bed and some close-ups of the bedliner. I think I'm gonna herculine my truck, but I don't wanna mess it up.

 

well i finnally got everything done for it to pass inspection, i have a busy week ahead prepareing for the school car show. i get my license the 12th the truck goes for inspection on the 15th and the car show is on the 17th. so i better pass my drivers test this time and the truck better pass inspection otherwise i'm ˟˟˟˟ed

 

Good luck!
