75 ford toneau

i got sick of looking for a toneau cover for my 75" that would lay flush with the bed rail and not on it ( due to the fact i shaved the bed rail post holders to add smooth lines )and i made one using 1 inch square tubing, 22 gauge sheet metal, old bare claw latches of a chevy that i buried, and some gas struts of a hatch back car.
as soon as i get it painted i'll post pictures, turned out real cool! and instead of $350. it costs $85. in materials!!!!

Great project!

Please post your pictures in your gallery and link to them from a post in the "Announcments" thread at the top of this forum. Put a description like the one here and a materials list if possible in your post.

I am looking forward to seeing the pictures :-)

Thanks for using FTE!

That sounds cool... When you get the photos done and get them posted i would like to know how you made it and any problems you might have had. I love the look of a tonneau... but the prices are just too high for me.

Any info or help would be appreciated.

thanks
