(LMAO) how will I ever haul loads of junk to the dump now???? <grins ear to ear>

sick part is,, 75 hours in the bed body work alone!!!
Ha, we don't need no stinking Craftec bed cover!! All she needs is some WAX!

Silk sheets on that bed !!

but don't worry ..... they get the job done too :thumbsup:

 

[67ElkyBryan]

All you did was add another hour or more to your waxing time.

I hope mine turns out half as nice as that. I'm going to go visit in the paint jail later in the week.

All I can say is the bed is simply beautiful!! Great job!!!:thumbsup:

 

[ssal396]

Looks great, well worth the effort :thumbsup:

Fabulous job, Marv. The back panel for your tailgate is obviously a custom. Is that just 1/8" carbon steel?

 

[elka]

Wow. doesn't look like mine!!

 

[pizzi-man]

After your first few scraches you'll get back to normal

Yup, Both the body shop and I got impatient. He wanted this thing out of his shop, and I wanted it back so I could start putting it back together. That inner skin is just 12g. sheet metal. I found 3 original inner tailgate pieces and every one of them are so trashed we just made a flat sheet for now. Eventually I'll fnd an inner plate that is worth the effort to restore. But for now.... Sure glad it's a screw on piece!

Marv, damn that looks nice! It looks a lot different than the last time I saw it (in person).:thumbsup:

I STILL haven't switched over my AC pieces yet. It will happen...soon! My wife is starting to get a bit antsy about the "stuff" on the garage floor...LOL

BTW, I have been watching a certain show...and I haven't seen you on it yet.

Are they going to show it soon...or did I miss it?

Just wondering, the pictures are from 2004; did you do the show again this year, or are they that far behind?

 

[Xplantdad]

He did the show again...LAST YEAR

Boy do they take a long time from shooting to airing!:yes:

 

[Marv D]

Yeah, don't ask how I got so luck as to be in Phoenix Pinks All Out in the Nova in 2006, and again in 2007 in Tucson in my little street truck. What the heck,,, if they come back to Az... and this Camino is finished...........

They will...and you will!:hurray:

Call me when you go...I'll come and hang out with you!

 

[copoman69]

its not ruined , it just not a truck no more, but it nice you did a good job, would you like to come over next weekend or two or three, the beer is on me,

 

[Doug628]

The bed looks great! I was noticing the tailgate catches. Are they chromed? Whatever they are they look better than mine. Mine are painted but of course chipped up now from closing the tailgate about 10 times.

 

[oscar_a_wiggy]

how do you wax your bed?
i cannot reach from the sides....
did you do it on your hands and knees from inside the bed?

oaw

 

[trdirks]

Hands and knees...Ha Ha Ha.... Have you ever seen "Honey I shrunk the Kids"?

:yes:

 

[Marv D]

Doug, All of the latches and hardware pieces are painted with a Mercedes silver. It looks like machined aluminum don't it

Ask me again about the wax in about 30-45 days Oscar. It just came out of the paint booth so it needs to harden and cook all the solvents out before it sees any wax. But my guess is,,, there will be a blanket layed down and I will be spending lots of time on my hands and knees working towards the tailgate.
