Finally seeing some progress... - Page 8 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

YES YES YES - That is going to be my color!

Thanks ever so much.

NWD02 · 03-16-2009, 09:42 PM

Haha, no problem. Sorry it took so long for me to post pictures. I've had it home from the body shop for about two weeks but just got the camera back from repair.

Hopefully completion date will be by mid to late April. I still have wiring, driveshaft, door windows, a/c lines, and a few odds and ends. I think I pretty much have everything to finish it up. I hate to take some of it apart but... I'm going to put on new door hinges, I noticed the driver side has some sag. I have the seat done and all the carpet but that's last.

big_al_71 · 03-16-2009, 11:30 PM

Great job, like that color alot

VA72C10 · 03-16-2009, 11:32 PM

How are you doing the skin? If you're replacing what's there....have you considered a handle flip and centering the lettering as seen here?

NWD02 · 03-16-2009, 11:46 PM

Well, I didn't think of it until now. It'd be cool, but probably too late. The panel will go under the handle. Basically where a stock panel would have gone only it's longer and wider. It will cover the entire lower part of the tailgate. I should be installing it very soon, I'll post more. I like the feed back too good or bad, thanks again everyone.

1956cameo · 03-17-2009, 03:25 AM

So I should start seeing it at the cruise nights in early May!

NWD02 · 03-17-2009, 10:43 PM

I hope so... Pearland Fridays, Kemah Saturdays... haha, if my wife agrees.....

woodwright · 03-20-2009, 10:46 PM

Who's truck is the silver one? I'd like to see some more pics of the tail lights

NWD02 · 03-20-2009, 10:48 PM

That's a picture I saved a long time ago...I'm pretty sure the silver one...and probably all of them...are Photoshops...

woodwright · 03-21-2009, 12:58 AM

Oh, ok. Thanks anyway.

woodwright · 03-21-2009, 08:27 PM

I just read through the entire build. Nice work! I think I might steal that color too.

As well as the idea for the a/c controls.

NWD02 · 03-21-2009, 10:42 PM

Haha... cool. MEKDAD made the control.

AGRV8D · 03-29-2009, 11:41 AM

nice progress Nick... you been a ghost lately. don't be a stranger... my sons 1st bday is the weekend of the 10th, bump me later for the invite...

NWD02 · 03-29-2009, 02:16 PM

Thanks Josh... I went to night shift so still trying to adjust.

**thelonerife** · 03-29-2009, 02:59 PM

Very nice work on your truck. Hope you get to enjoy it soon.

jgrisafi · 03-29-2009, 06:41 PM

Hey Nick, it's Joe. I just wanted to say hello from the Middle East. You and I met at Mikes Bump and Grind the summer of last year. I was there picking up some drop spindles with the wife and son. I would like to say to you CONGRATULATIONS on a job well done my friend. Beautiful choice of color, it really shines in the daylight. The whole truck turned out fantastic. I can't wait to get back this summer and possibly turn some wrenches with you. I have a lot of catching up to do so we can go cruising along the beach and head to some car and truck shows. Take care and God speed my friend. "Drive it like you stole it" HaHa

NWD02 · 05-06-2009, 03:40 AM

Sorry no updates lately, been working on the house. Will be getting back on the truck soon. I have to get it done.... Baby due in October!!!!

my67chevytruck · 05-06-2009, 09:47 AM

congrats on the baby.... looking forward to seeing your wiring completed and seeing further progress on your truck. Well executed for sure...

nuke1 · 05-06-2009, 10:08 AM

congratulations, one more proud papa here!

NWD02 · 05-23-2009, 02:49 PM

Ok... I know everyone following my build is going to be surprised as I was. I actually got something accomplished today and didn't mess anything up. I finally installed the driver side window glass. Here's a few pictures after I pushed it back in the garage.

**Hart_Rod** · 05-23-2009, 04:29 PM

Sweetnessssss!!!!

mbgmike · 05-24-2009, 10:28 AM

Is that Ford Dark Sapphire Blue? Looks like the 85 ford color we are doing right now. We will probably have some touch up paint left when it gets chipped up. Oh yeah the paint has a shelf life so it will be bad before you get any chips.

One window a Day??? come get out their and do something

NWD02 · 05-24-2009, 01:47 PM

Thanks Mike... NO ITS NOT A FORD COLOR. haha. Didn't you volunteer to come help with the wiring, SWEET! Yeah it'll eventually be finished.

Big J'72 GMC · 05-24-2009, 04:54 PM

AMAZING! thats the color I picked for mine but up north here they call it GMC marine blue, keep up the good work can't wait to see it all together
