Boy... sounds to me it's The Lyle Comedy Hour today. Wow... Murphy's Law strikes again.
I think he's doing it the right way. The real truck would have laid down the wood then applied the strips.
pretty much a moot point at this time. there are not enough of the rail decals to do the bed. I am trying something different....whilst waiting for the BMF to arrive, I've sprayed a piece of clear decal film silver. When it is dry, I'll cut strips and see how that works.

I decided to just do inserts on the seats.

Stripped the paint and decals, repainted the bed. Printed a sheet of the woodgrain and cut on the Sihlouette. I think my color laser is dying....

Are those seat covers from the Hallmark Channel or Pimp My Ride? :giggles:

Thank you, Stuart. I appreciate your support...heck, all y’all are supportive.

Getting an urge to try and add red piping around the zebra inserts... help me!
