Got a test paint sample done, it is the 1971 medium olive poly.
I love this color on old faded trucks, but didn't realize it was so limeish gold
When new and shiny, now I am not so sure about this color

blazin71K5 · 12-22-2013, 10:39 PM

I also got my intake and water pump sanded in final prime and ready
To paint, now motor and all its parts are ready for paint, I hope to get
Them done after christmas before I have to go back to work

I like the medium olive. It will look great all new and shiny, but with a hint of originality

fxdxharley · 12-26-2013, 01:30 PM

Try that color with a semi gloss or satin clear. would dull it up just enough to give it the aged look.

I think a matte clear would look great today but for the long haul I think I would be happier with shinier

blazin71K5 · 12-26-2013, 10:28 PM

Got the engine ready for the paint shop tomorrow

blazin71K5 · 12-31-2013, 08:05 PM

Frame is finally back to being a full roller. Tranny is painted and ready.

Keith is awesome and lucky I live in Florida, if I lived in Texas I'd be sleeping in a tent on his front lawn!

Great build!!

blazin71K5 · 01-22-2014, 11:02 AM

Brake lines made and installed by RPL customs, then i got to put the motor and tranny back on the frame.

**lolife99** · 01-22-2014, 11:11 AM

blazin71K5 · 01-22-2014, 11:29 AM

Front view, was just curious about the black.

**jaros44sr** · 01-22-2014, 03:01 PM

I like the black, blends in with suspension, frame. I think the alt., and power steering look best down low.....but, i went with shiny. Looking good
