Exterior

well apparently the shop that bagged it thought that instead of shortening the rear end, they'd cut his bedsides because it was an xtreme people wouldnt see it... now that we are bding it, theres a problem... so we built a new bed from scratch. it also received a grant combo, and sheetmetaled bed, with hagan pop up gas filler door, but it was recently rear ended, and we now have to put a new skin on rebuild the bed, and re sheetmetal it** someone rear ended him a few weeks after picking it up from the shop and instead of just fixing the skin he's decided to redo the sheetmetal in the bed, and do some other things ** stay tuned
