Hi. Nice work! Just curious...will that bed cover be water tight? Do you have any pics of how you have it mounted? Thanks!

it was not water tight, I used some aftermarket aluminum cover clamps to clamp the center section to the bed rails and the front and rear section folded up allowing access underneath. The whole cover was supported by pieces of angle iron that i welded into the corners and sides. It looked good but i decided to glue vinyl leather like material to it which didnt work because when it got hot it would reactivate the glue and the wind from driving would tear it up. Needless to say I scrapped the whole thing after this. I should have left it bare metal!
