Looks good! Did you do that on your other rig?

Those others were friends rigs... I know the blue one has a liner, but i dont know what kind it is!

I wanted some protection in mine, so I really liked the idea of tintable bed liner.

Hey, you need to come over tomorrow (well, today technically) Saturday, and look at my floor pan weld job. Does it always look this frickin bad or am I just the worst welder ever?

Some appreciable progress today...

Doesn't look like much, but I can tell ya I'm exhausted. Mentally planning out how im going to attack this part of the rebuild exhausted me.

Transmission jump, e-brake, shifter boots, wiring and rear heater lines.
