Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
This has been hilarious getting caught up from the last couple days. But how the hell do I get blamed!?!
Bob, of course...me?!?!? Dang, that's rough.Dennis, that color is so perfectly close, but so perfectly far from the stock color. 100% approved!!! Very nice man! See you & Amy in 2 weeks. (Don't worry guys...I will have a talk with her.  )

Beautiful, Dennis!!! When it's done, you will own a one of a kind truck that has a family history. It'll be something to be VERY proud of.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
That paint is beautiful. I can only imagine standing there looking at it. Hopefully I will be able to get a great paint job like that on mine, depending on the money. I sold the GTO because I have a baby about to be here in less than a month and I barely drove that car. But she has already said she doesnt care what I do to the truck. But i believe she has no idea what it cost to work on cars. So im keeping my fingers crossed.
Seeing this frame off resto make me want to start the same way you did.

Does that paint have a large gold flake in it?

The cab looks great! It does seem like it will be a shame to put carpet over all that pretty paint.
