My bed was so beyond saving that’s why I went flatbed, I struggle with knowing my repairs to the cab corners and rockers were just mediocre. I get mad at my self when I don’t do something just right, eventually I get frustrated and half ass it. This project has been very testing of my patience so I don’t half ass the entire thing lol.

I understand that 110%. For now the wires under the dash just have electrical tape wraps. Under the hood is all new stuff. Lol, but it works for now.
The bed looks bad ass! You do great work.

Did I ever mention I hate body work?
I guess "hate" might be a little strong of a word, but welding in cab corners, making them look good, and priming them is a bitch on a hot day in your driveway.
Luckily the metal went in nice and I barely had to skim coat.
As a bonus, I stripped nearly the entire hood down, ospho'd it, cleaned it, degreased it, and laid some 2k DTM primer on it.

Rebuilt the ol' 850 Demon this weekend and added one of those fancy all in one throttle brackets. Don't know if I'm just that good or just that lucky, but when I got it all back together and primed it fired right up! A few little tweaks once it was running and it's back to the carb that I remember it was... Smooth crisp and snappy! Put about 40 miles on it yesterday afternoon trouble free and it started right up every time I hit the key. We'll see what happens this next time I go to start it up when the engine is cold.. that'll be the real test! Lol

Made some progress on my friend 75 K5 today.
Got it all tacked in, next we will get the lower parts cut out and get the new metal fitted in before fully welding any of it.
Little action shot

Welded some Walker Quiet Flows up, crappy band clamps won't lock down so I bought some good ones from Monkey Fab that will be here tomorrow.
Drove it yesterday, left all my crap in the bed, it all flew out all over the road, spent an hour walking around finding it
