Off to the doc this morning. Hopefully he'll cut me loose today.
During my "down time" I did bend the rules a bit.... I used the time to patiently put some paint on my new bed strips. Attached is a pic of the new bed wood (already finished and waiting for installation) with one of the finished strips. Currently, I'm planning to leave the bolts unfinished. The wood is plain pine bed wood, finished with Behr stain and outdoor polyurethane. The strips are finished with rattle can Rustoleum self etching primer, flat black and dead flat clear coat. Hopefully it doesn't look out of place with my ratty truck! Either way, it's what's going on it and it's now ready to go!!
