bed mods progress pics

Some of you said post your progress pics. So Here they are.
Started on the double wall bed I was working along and all of a sudden I turned around and she started to grow these wings.

The ride looks crazy cool Keith. You must be crazy loco as well as talented with metal. Now I see why you were voted the "Ultimate Darksider" This truck will probably get many awards if you show it. The big money has nothing on you man. Keep us tuned on updates.

Keith -

That is truly a stunning departure from the stock setup. I really like the line of the upper rail and the way you transitioned from the 45 degree bend to a radiused sweep. Looks a little like some new Batmobile. Way cool.

Holy winged warriors Batman!!! That is an amazing bed and evenmore amazing metalwork!

Keith, I just love your posts and really enjoy how your truck constantly reveals a new and wild side to her personality. You, my friend, are on one strange and interesting journey.

Keep up the great work!!
Bobby

Keith,

That is one Radical truck you have there....

I cant wait to see the final result, you are indeed a master at your craft. Just seeing the sort of things that you get up to inspires the hell out of me. I just wish I had half the vision and skill needed to attempt that sort of thing.

Keep it up!

Cheers
Lee

Keith,
You continue to amaze and impress with your creative talents! I hope to someday see your truck in person, but will probably only get to admire from the pages of all the magazines. How's that saying go..."once you go dark, you never go back" or something along those lines. Can't wait to see the next gallery-although you are running out of sheetmetal that hasn't been touched!

Good Luck, the force is already with you!
Kent

And I thought I was working hard on redoing my bed inner walls and wood. I don't feel bad at all after seeing what you've done. Keith, you got a lot of work and it really looks good, I like what you've done too. Can't wait to see the final outcome. Where the hell were you when I needed sheet metal help? LOL...

Yeah buddy! PLEASE tell me I ''can't do it'' or ''you shouldn't do it'' Wish I could get my signature line to work. ''If you can think of it, I can make it'' Hope that's not too egotistical, didn't mean to hijack the thread, it just sounded pertinent!
