Well this is ALL the pictures of the before and after pictures of the bed and dog house after sanding multiple times this summer and cleaning / re sanding , following up on the black primer I first put on the dog house and painting both finishing it pretty much... Have about 10 percent left to do... Ie taping and painting ... Double  checking ... Few areas weren't painted that I need to... But I tell ya I am definitely glad to be done with most of it... I am a do it your selfer and have very little tools.... And want to complete the truck by the first snow fall here in the mountains... Or I would take my sweet time and get everything picture perfect on the truck.... But hey I did the best I could without killing myself on it,,.. I'm a disabled stay at home dad ....now to just put the body on the frame! Install the motor! And put the plethora of parts on lol !

It will have the flowmaster super 10's... True duals... This video,is of small block 355 engine... Mine is a bored out 454 , heavily modified heads... Its interesting waiting to hear the sound of what it will be like.... I also like the super 44's series mufflers...
