Hi ALBUO F-1,
I threw the idea of painting the roof the same color as the fenders around for a couple of years then something came along that made my mind up, I'll explain that later in another thread. Thank you for the nice compliments.
The warp in the deck is a bit of an optical illusion but it also has a twist in it as it is built to flex and it is not sitting level on the blocks. A friend of mine built a beautiful deck for his truck but he built it so heavy he couldn't haul more than about 500 lbs or he was over his weight limit, extremely over built. The way my deck is built four average people could pick it up and pack it away. It will flex and come back again. I estimate as it sits it only weighs about 250 - 300 lbs. Of coarse when the deck boards are put in it will weigh more and won't be as flexible.
Bye for now, Old Ugly (Rod)

 

Hi Bruce,
Thank you for the nice comment. I've looked at pics of your built, they look like your doing fantastic work. I wish I had the time, ambition and ability to do work like that.
I'm looking forward to meeting you. It's always fun to tour a junky yard but it's better to do it when there is no snow.
Bye for now, Old Ugly (Rod)

Looking great Rod,
I kind of started mid-post and tried to catch up on how things are going. The two tone paint looks nice

 

6 years later!!lol

 

I'm hoping he's still doing OK. Still has the truck and this will inspire him to share some more pictures of his truck,
Ken.

 

It`s a really nice thread. Sadly Rod hasn't been back on FTE since 06-25-2014.

 

I hope he is doing OK. I sent him an email. Lot's of us guys are up there in years, praying nothing bad has happened,
Thanks Ken,

 

I'm hoping he's ok, 5 yrs is a long time.
