Quick brake jobI've seen this thread on several other forums and it's usually a good one and is good for posting up those little things that may not really belong in a build thread but just to make mention of
Lately I've driven her a little bit (she loves the heat!). I'm getting ready to do some little things to her pretty soon, though. The comp/temp mirror mod should be accomplished in the next week or so. I've also got a couple of small custom touches in mind but those will remain a secret for nowShould turn out looking nice, though

Finally got the axle fixture finished up, drilled and tapped holes into the table to bolt it down and then got the axle in place.

Perfect...after months of wondering what color stain to use.....none was used just a clear protection

Looks great. Is it going to be a garaged vehicle and never see any rain? Was each board sealed on all six surfaces, with extra sealing for the end grain and multiple coats? Would hate for all that hard work to be done but only partly-done. The truck is being done in great detail, sometimes the bedwood doesn't get the same attention to detail and prep.after months of wondering what color stain to use.....none was used just a clear protection
