Re: 1967 Custom Sport Shop Truck
I'd always heard it was for spirits.
From wiki: Haint blue is a pale shade of blue that is traditionally used to paint porch ceilings in the Southern United States. The tradition originated with the Gullah in Georgia and South Carolina, but has also been adopted by White Southerners. The ceiling of the slave quarters at the Owens-Thomas House in Savannah, Georgia, built in the early nineteenth century, was painted haint blue.[1] The pigment was sourced from crushed indigo plants.[2] Indigo was a common source for haint blue prior to the American Revolution, when indigo was a common crop for plantations in the American South, but the tradition survived well after the decline in indigo cultivation.[3] Originally, haint blue was thought by the Gullah to ward haints, or ghosts, away from the home. The tactic was intended either to mimic the appearance of the sky, tricking the ghost into passing through, or to mimic the appearance of water, which ghosts traditionally could not cross. The Gullah would paint not only the porch, but also doors, window frames, and shutters.[6] As Gullah culture mingled with White Southern culture, the custom became more widely practiced.[7] The use of haint blue has lost some of its superstitious significance, but modern proponents also cite the color as a spider and wasp-deterrent.[8] However, the color has not actually been scientifically shown to stave off bugs.[9] The associated repellent effect may stem from the use of milk paint containing lye, which does act as an insect repellent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haint_blue Whatever the reason, I like it. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen any bird poo on my porch railings this year.... |

That's pretty cool. Someone needs to track down my tour guide and tell her she's wrong! Or maybe only partially correct. :lol:
Great job on the logos, by the way! |

Your truck has come a long way over the years! I like how you did the lower trim. I always wanted to see if there was a way I could bend some pieces to put on my stepside dually flares. I'd want to join them on the pieces on the fleetside part of the bed.
