Thanks Doyle. It was great you could make it out. A few of my other buddies were kicking around and they really admired your 1 ton.

I have been busy lately. We went houseboating in BC, camping in the mountains with my family, camping at the lake with my brother and his family; it has been a whirlwind lately, but things are getting done.
Front fenders and cowl cover- painted.

Tailgate letters masked and painted low gloss black, tailgate masked and painted green. The letter stickers don’t quite fit the aftermarket gate perfectly. I wouldn’t use them on a tailgate if it were me. I used the stickers as a mask for the paint job. I had to slice and dice to make them fit properly. Some were too tall, some too narrow, some too wide, reproductions rearing their head again. Ugh. I stuck the letters to my jeans prior to make them not so sticky. We will see if it works.

Rear inner tubs rubber lined.
Bed wood laser wrapped up.
Bed wood sealed with 3 coats of clear varnish.
Bed wood assembled in box.
Interior progressing- first pieces of 1/2” insulation laid down on floor. Back cab wall insulation applied over kilmat.
I applied some more sound deadening tape on the door skin inside.

Slow, but busy at Fox Rods.
