Looks awesome man!!

SevenSeries · 04-26-2010, 08:38 PM

Amazing, that color is turning out great! I am going with House of Kolor paint too, just haven't decided on what colors yet.

fryer1979 · 04-27-2010, 06:23 PM

Sweet color! Looks pretty close to the candy brandywine we used for the scallops and trim on my buddies '65 Cutlass roadster, just a few shades lighter. Can't wait for the finished product.

Thanks! Bed is not done yet, should be by this weekend though. These wheels are staying till i can buy some new ones.

Too bad you're so far away, I've got a good friend here in my town who is amazing with aluminum wheel polishing. He could make your alloys look like brand new chrome.

What's the trick?

The guy used to own a buisness that did all kinds of aluminum polishing in the Bay Area, and when he moved up here (retired) he brought a lot of his old equipment with him. He still does polishing, just in his spare time. He does amazing work though, took a set of Cragars I have that were black with dirt and grime when I got 'em and made them look better than new. If you look in my buld thread you can see the one rear wheel on my Camaro in a pic. Not the best pic, but the wheels look incredible.

Looking forward to pics of your finished paint job.

GMC91 · 05-02-2010, 11:52 PM

fryer1979 · 05-03-2010, 10:46 PM

beautiful.

Seriously, if that truck were mine I would just finish the paint job, polish up the wheels, and call it done (visually anyways). I really dig the look of your truck.

Thanks, really the only other thing I want to do to the exterior is save up for some new wheels and a cowl hood, not sure what wheels yet though.

GMC91 · 05-03-2010, 11:19 PM

Yeah its always worth it in the end. But I go to school, work at a body shop, and my truck has more dings and dents than I can count lol. But I like body work, could care less for motors though. I am in love with your truck now, paint looks amazing.

Sooner84 · 05-07-2010, 06:43 PM

Cleaned it up a bit today.
