Default New Years Bed...

Well to start the new year off right I finished installing the bed wood and strips. Now to get the rear fenders out to paint/installed and this will start looking like something.

Thanks to Northern Classic Trucks for the bed assembly and my local Maaco for the paint job.

High volume paint shops are just as capable of putting out quality work as any high end custom shop. They may hire inexperienced painters, but they learn fast, and each job is what you pay for.

I've gone the Maaco route, and trust me, it DOES help to know somebody.
