Well OK, things been on the shelf for a while - BAD cold winter of 2013, so not much going on.  Work was hit and miss, had to do whatever weather would allow
We decided to work on the side boards we'll add near completion. Here Dad works on sizing and fitting the standards.  Over the summer we went through the same process as with the running boards and bed boards.
Kinda jumped ahead too far. But you can see how we laid them out.  They are as good as done, just need to round off the ends yet.  Then we'll finish them the same as the other boards.  Marine Spar Urethane followed by Spar Varnish
 Here you can see what they look like on the inside
This is a full view from the drivers side.  Sorry some of the photos are a bit blurry
Side view of the rear of the running board and frame. This part goes toward the rear fender. We fit the frame to butt up against the rear fender and not run under it; hence the curve.
This is the same running board from the front side.  This end will butt up against the front fender. These are oak boards that should look great when stained and finished.
Here is the boards we made for the running board frames you saw on previous pages
I now have them finished; but no picks yet.
OK - It's the END of 2020 and I'm STILL working on this thing.  FOR SURE 2021 will be the year I get it done and start driving it.  I'll add more pics on this page as I do stuff.  I've already done "some" stuff I need to get pics of.
