56 Bed is almost there

O.K., I need to show off my work on my bed, Just painted it yesterday and got in on the truck today. Its not perfect, I decided it was time to stop the body work and get to gettin (After 200 hrs of blocking) I decided to leave the imperfections on the inside of the bed (History or Patina ) Turned out pretty good, until I decide to do it all over again. Still have to paint the fenders and tailgate that will be this weekends chore. Let me know what you think.

Kyle

I agree. It looks outstanding! And I know the feeling about having to stop somewhere and just get it together.

Nice job!

I Thought about it, But I told everyone there that they would have to wait for the F100 Supernats to see. Just a little tease. I think I will add it tonight maybe. Thanks for all of the great comments. The problem I noticed already is that the bed looks better than the cab-Maybe next year I can make it match a little better (Deffenetly matches better than last year-Shiney Black Cab, Flat Black Bed).
