Time to
fix this darn bed, don't you think? |
|

 |
Here she sits, ready for some work, quite a bit of rust and
some dings to deal with. So lets get started |
Up close and personal with some of the rust. It appears as
though we can salvage the metal |
She lived through 6 hours of grinding, some rust treatment
and a toxic dose of self etching primer to cover the bare metal |
 |
 |
 |
Some work on the outside of the bed has been tedious. I have spent a week
on this side alone |
A lot of time was spent pounding out the metal to avoid using a lot of
bondo. Some is still necessary. |
Almost completely done. The long straight sander always reveals ripples
and imperfections you wouldn't have guessed were there. |
 |
 |
 |
The holes were filled. I had to get rid of some sort of hillbilly method
of mounting a camper. Holes were drilled in the top of the bed along the
edges. Enough to drive you crazy. But she's starting to come. |
The wheel well won't get the special attention the outside did for the
simple fact that Herculiner is going to be put inside |
Still had to take care of it though. Not completely fixed but the fiberglass
is there. |
 |
 |
 |
A big rust hole has invaded the corner of the bed. So, time for some surgery. |
The doctor has made his cut and there is no turning back now. |
Ok, ok, I know it looks Frankensteinish, but you will never know it was
there. (I hope) |

Well this is me and my vacation. |
