    the gooy stripper way is the messy way imo. i hate that ****. unless its on a hood or roof where it can settle i dont like to dealwith it on side panels.
    it only took 2 hours to do that much. prob another 2 hours to finish it. i dont care id rather do it this way. id rather deal with dust than a liquid goo dripping all over my floor.

    notice how much i did and how clean the garage is!! im a clean freak

    sweet progress so far. those tires look tiny. if you end up wanting bigger ones for the back, i have a pair that are about 80% life. 225/50/16.

    are you gonna extend the back half of the bedsides down at all, maybe a taper to blend in?
