Now that I have my introduction out of the way, this is going to be a thread about my Viking which I am calling The Green Machine (sorry if someone is already using that). Nothing major going on, but I would like to track my progress with pics and if nothing else you guys can either keep me from making mistakes or laugh at me for being a dumb ass! So, I hope everyone enjoys the build, it may be a little slow, but here goes....
First on my list of things to do was to have the bed sprayed. I had every intention of taking it somewhere and having it sprayed, however, I got the wild idea that I could just do it myself and save some money. So I sanded it down top, bottom and sides and prepped it. Then off to Lowes I went and came home $45 worth of Rustoleum spray in bed liner. Needless to say (cause I know you guys are laughing right now) it didn't work like I thought!!! It actually turned out very nice, just wasn't very thick and I wanted it not just for protection, but for some sound proofing as well. So off to the PROFESSIONAL I went to have it re-done. Lesson #1 learned! haha!
Sand, sand and more sanding....and yes, even my wife chipped in to help sand!!
Dove hunting, an occasional deer hunt and just hauling my beer! Our dove lease is 1000 acres of farm land so when it rains it is REALLY soft mud and walking sucks! It's mainly just a toy for me and my boys.
I did a search too and found them on e-bay as well. I paid $60 for mine locally, but they are about $50 on e-bay. I searched "waterproof rocker switch panel".
Got the bed back together and back on. I am VERY pleased with how it turned out. And yes, that's water in the cup....I know, I know....but I have to get up @ 3:30am everyday!!! Tonight is a different story!>
Well I was able to sneak away from work a little early and get home in time to get a little bit done before it got dark, First up was the 3" Strongmade lift kit and I started in the back.
