what kind of wood is it, where did you get it, and what kind of finish did you use on it ?
i got some mildew on my wood, and have to treat it again after i remove the mildew spots.
love you truck...

It looks like you took your time, did it the right way and now you and your daughter have something to be proud of  It's time consuming - but worth it. | | |
