Looking good! I love the steelies!

Chulisohombre · 05-26-2015, 07:12 AM

Looking good. Coming along nice. My kids will fight over my blazer when I'm gone as well I'm sure.

Timbro · 08-27-2015, 09:37 PM

finally got back on the k5 project the last couple of weeks.

My son spraying final primer coat

Timbro · 05-16-2016, 08:24 AM

After a year of life's interruptions my '72 is finally painted. My son is the brains behind the paint project and I couldn't be more pleased. The color is slightly darker than the original dark olive but I personally love the color. These pics are after 7 hours of color sanding and buffing

She's got a little shine

ATL Golfer · 05-16-2016, 10:50 AM

I dig the color as well. Looks great.

Chulisohombre · 05-16-2016, 10:55 AM

Looks good. Nice shine to it. Like glass

**lks dcvn** · 05-16-2016, 12:37 PM

That looks great and I like the darker color as well.

Ebully72 · 05-16-2016, 09:52 PM

Love that darker shade of olive, your son did an amazing job .

Timbro · 05-22-2016, 08:43 AM

Reconstructing a piece at a time. Got the Steelies I've had stashed put under her yesterday. Opinions?

**Tomo** · 05-22-2016, 08:50 AM

Looks great - love the color. You all do great work!

Good eye. 33c12.50 on bfg ko2

I picked the 15x8s up and had them powder coated. Looked forever for them before I found them hidden in s misc parts listing on CL

**Tomo** · 05-22-2016, 04:33 PM

How much lift do you have? I really like how those bfgs fill the wheel wells.

Chulisohombre · 05-22-2016, 05:59 PM

Looks perfect with what looks like a 4 inch lift.

It's got a 4 " lift with an extra 1 " on the front (maybe to compensate for the double wall top). But it sits level for whatever reason)

Just about done. Been driving the heck out of it

Chulisohombre · 07-27-2016, 02:00 PM

Looks good. Enjoy every minute you get behind the wheel. Ever thought about a rollbar. Much safer and just makes the truck look tougher in my opinion.i

Timbro · 07-27-2016, 02:06 PM

Thanks. Yeah I'm working on a roll bar. I've got the original but I don't like the looks. Either going with full cage or changing shape of the support bars. I feel a little vulnerable without one.

Chulisohombre · 07-27-2016, 02:24 PM

I felt the same way as soon as I took my hardtop
Off. I also bought a roll bar and modified it.
