That looks great! I also wanted to say that I like the look of your wheels. Now you have to get moving on the bed!!

Thanks! Bed is painted, just starting the wood finishing. The wheels are American Racing that I got at Sears. (My wife had given me a gift card) I love the look too! I hope to have Fred on the road by the end of July.
