Dyno's 58 GMC's Finished Pics

I finally got some final pics of my '58 the other evening at sunset. Glad to be done after 3 long years of weekends and evenings in the shop. My son and I did everything except for the upholstery. Thanks for all your input along the way, I appreciate you guys and this forum very much!

Wow Dyno...that's one great looking truck. I have a 59 that I'm working on ( 2WD ), I hope it turns out as well as yours.

Thanks very much. Not NOS bezels, but a decent reproduction. Got them from Patwilsondesign.com. Not cheap! I tried to paint the back of them with chrome paint, looked like crap so I cleaned it off and left them clear.

Re: Dyno's 58 GMC's Finished Pics

Thanks for all the compliments you guys...I really appreciate it! Looking forward to running it down Main in the 4th of July parade next week.

Ogre, you always crack me up, man. Your right...I'm already cyphering on the next project!

Thumbs up Re: Dyno's 58 GMC's Finished Pics

Great looking truck Dyno and you'll need 4 wheel drive with those Sawtooth Mountians out there and is the Snake river anywhere close by or is it close to everybody the way it meanders?

Re: Dyno's 58 GMC's Finished Pics

Truly a great job, kudos!

Can you please tell me what color red that is? Are the pictures a fairly accurate representation of what it looks like in person?

Thanks 2 Tractors! You must have been to Idaho. My home place is outside of Middleton, about 30 minutes from the Snake river. Sawtooths are a couple hours way.

I doubt I'll be taking this one off road much...at least until I put a nice scratch in it!

Thanks Dan! The color is Ford "Race Red" code PQ, found on newer F150's and Mustangs. I did up the contrast in some of the pics, but it looks just as good in person. I looked at all the bright reds when deciding, Dodge and Corvette have some nice reds but I think the Ford may be the brightest.
