Rob McKee Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 ts like popsicle sticks i got them at michaels Really, they worked out well. I am toying with idea of doing the same on my 40 Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Two things: 1) I get my popsicle sticks the old-fashioned way - by enjoying a popsicle from the vending machine every day on break at work! 2) If you decide to go with different wheels and tires on this bad boy, let me know - I can give those a REAL goood home!

Dr. Cranky Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The bed is really looking perfect for this build. Great job. Please keep it going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod59f100 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Wow I have one of these in the neer future to restore . A glue bomb off eBay. I'm gonna keep up with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If you haven't already glued the wood to your bed consider this. Min-Wax makes stain touch-up pens and stain those before you mount them. Several Years ago I built a step side and did just that to some balsa strips. it really looked good!
