aint no telling. just like our weather, it had a very light coat of rust this morning on it. started looking real hard at this and measured a few things to find out that it is not exactly, truly square. that and the bondo points to me that this bar has seen action in the past. hopefully, ill get a chance to paint tomorrow as long as the rain continues to hold out.

well, after a long few weeks, i finally got a day for paint. 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear before i had to give it up. heat down here can sneak up on you if not careful. turned out really good but still have the feet to paint. think i am going to paint those white to match the truck. might say to heck with it since i still have 2 cans of paint and clear left. once it dries in a couple of days, ill give yall something to look at and deem if im ready for the booth yet.
