Thanks I used my dads tarp he bought for the boat I think it was 100ft by 50ft wide its something overkill for a 21ft boat lol. I used a rope and made a post ran it from my garage second floor to the post tied it to my sisters pick up trucks hitch and notched a two by four and stood it in my bed to support the rope more then I went around with string and tied all the hooks on the tarp in the air onto a boat/trailer and anything and everything.


Haha we actually just moved my paint date up to Saturday and it's supposed to be calm here so I might not even have to lol but that's ingenuity right there lol

I would still just in case also make sure you add extra hardener I learned the hard way and leave enough time between coats. My neighbor who does body work told me after I painted he adds extra hardener I did equal parts and it cured slow and stayed tacky long I had nats stuck in it.

I'm sorry to announce I sold my dodge 2500. The body was rotting out my two front cab mounts were going and I didn't feel like installing coil buckets or welding my cab mounts. I am happy to announce I'm the second owner of a drum roll 94 f350 power stroke only thing I need to fix is a broken brake line and I need two fenders which are $75 a piece. The truck I just bought is in great shape no rust what so ever except on the fenders. I know I know its a ford yes but I still own a Dodge 1500. So I will still be around.
Edit also its 5spd tranny 4x4 I know no one cares because its a ford but I love Ford and Dodge.
