Finally got'r done.

I posted new pics of my 71 sport custom. Finally got her in new paint and a few body mods. Still need to lower the front end and fix the cracks in the steering wheel.
Some day I'll do the engine but for now she's still the original 114,000 mile engine.

Nice, rhino lined and everything. Someday, I hope to have a truck that can compete on that level.

The bed is done with the brand name of "Speedliner". We used 1 qt of the same color paint used to paint the truck, mixed in with 4 gallons of speedliner material to do the bed. It turned out nicer than I thought it would.
If the floor and side walls had been pristine I would have painted it like I did the rest of the truck but there was some roughness from surface rust which the spray-in bedliner hides completly

Looks great! Mine is red too and I also did the bed liner in the bed, inside front fenders and cab. I used the Herculiner product from AutoZone. Like you, the engine is next for me. Nice job!
