Well Mike, I gotta say you did a great job. Really nice job on the fenders as well. Were you able to build it for the costs that we talked about?

By the way, I really "like" your design!!!!

Are you working on your tailgate yet?

Drewski..
The best form of flattery is to copy them..hahaha thanks so much,, only difference my fenders are welded on.. oh you can't see the gate.. but it your design too.. think its hangin off to the right maybe in the back round..
hey any ideas for a hard bed cover ??????
I think I have just about $400 into it.. not to bad.. of course that doesn't count time.. which is free for me..
Thank you so much for all the great ideas..
Mike

It may be slow going but excellent work, Mike. The bed looks really slick and the roll pan looks outstanding.
