Been there done that....

The truck looks amazing and that color really pulls off the look of the truck. So if you're going Billet.... which wheel did you pick???

chevy_mike · 11-07-2008, 11:34 AM

NICE!!! That has to be one of my favorite colors.

Keep up the great work!

67ChevyRedneck · 11-07-2008, 11:57 AM

Daaaaaang! Very nice. I also like the wheels it has on it now too

I'll second that. That pic says alot.... The stance on the truck looks killer, the rolling stock fits just right, & the paint prep is evident looking down the side of the truck.

Painter D · 11-07-2008, 06:38 PM

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I just got the truck home today ,and I am absolutely exhausted. Squeezing in a paint job this size ,and keeping up with my other jobs that pay the bills has worn me out.

I did happen to order a new back glass, door handles,emblems, and a few other odds and ends so I could start putting it back together. Hopefully I can get some one piece windows, and some Line-X added to the list here before too long. Either way I'm going to start putting it back together tonight, yes tonight, after the wife goes to work. I'll post more pics after I get everything back on the truck.

68 short step · 11-07-2008, 07:38 PM

awsome, looks great..

bagged69c10 · 11-07-2008, 09:33 PM

Looks great man. Those wheels aren't billet. They are cast. Which is why he wants new ones. At least thats what he told me.

Painter D · 11-09-2008, 07:30 PM

I managed to get it back together as far as I could. I'm still waiting on some parts to finish completely.

I snapped some pictures of it put back together so you can see what it's going to look like. I tried to take the same amount of pics in the sun ,and in the shade to give a little contrast.

I've also compiled a list of things I'm going to try to get done in 2009.

1. Polished 142 supercharger
2. Led taillights
3. bench seat, lowered, re-covered
4. new billet wheels
5. serpentine belt setup
6. narrowed rear end
7. vintage air
8. Brake upgrade
9. possibly buy another swb 67-72 ,and keep it patina

Don't hold me to it things always seem to change, but I'm going to try. Here's some more pics. ENJOY.

Painter D · 11-09-2008, 07:31 PM

Couple more.

**88JRFAN** · 11-09-2008, 07:48 PM

That truck looks awesome. The blue is perfect and adds another vote for one color on my truck.

SCOTI · 11-09-2008, 07:51 PM

Nice.

abadsvt · 11-09-2008, 08:18 PM
