Beautiful. Must have taken a tremendous amount of work.

Sim6, what did you use for clear and is it glossy, matte, satin? My body guy mentioned PPG has something designed for bare metal now but so far I've left mine bare with gibbs and its doing well. If I ever use something I'd prefer not to change the look of the metal at all.

It was glossy lacquer clear.

Another random pic of my truck just before I do a bit of work to the front end, looks good this low but going to raise it a little unfortunately as riding on the bump stops wears thin after awhile...

I'm planning on just keeping it stock for now maybe change out the running gears in the next few years. It gets a sold 50-55 mph down hill with a tail wind right now.

Thank you Doug, I'm from Robinson and that where my truck is being stored for now as well so we're pretty darn close to being neighbors.

Do you do many car shows in the area?

Last year we made a few local shows in the area. And this year we haven't made a one. Plan to make a few before the season is over though. Or cruise nights at the DognSuds. Look for the 72 Burb or the 56 Chevy and please say hi.

Have fun with your truck. If you do a build or updates throw up a thread on it.

Awesome hopefully I'll see you at one of them, and I'll keep everyone updated.

I've done some work since my previous post, so I thought my '50 deserved another pic. It's gradually turning black, one rattle can at a time.
