Yesterday, I finished up the basic fiberglassing on the flat foam tonneau cover.

I was working on it at my Dad's, but had gotten busy lately, so it was just sort of sitting there, wasting his space. I wanted to at least get the basics of it done, so I could get it out of there.

Today, I trimmed off the extra material, cleaned up my mess (I had a lot of tools and things over there) and brought the cover home.



I have an aluminum cap on my truck in the winter, so I couldn't just set the cover on the truck. Instead, I had to strap it to the top of the cap!



When I got home, I put it on the project truck. It fits fine, but it's still kinda ugly. It's lumpy and yellow and needs lots of sanding, Bondo, and paint!



If the bed looks funny, it's because it's removed from the frame and jacked up about eight inches.
