Me likey

travo77 · 10-06-2009, 08:56 PM

any finished pics yet

justpball · 10-07-2009, 10:07 AM

no not yet...there has been a change...the guys talked me into changing the bottom color to cadilac white...so we are going to respray it.

Driveway Dreams · 10-07-2009, 10:18 AM

Man...I liked the color combo you had. I do not know which Cadillac white you are using. But I don't think white with the rootbeer will have the same effect on me. I really was impressed by the choices on it in these pics. But, I will sure keep watching for updates.

**N2TRUX** · 10-07-2009, 10:33 AM

Should have left it alone. At least use Lexus white. The caddy white has a yellow cast to it. The Lexus white is a pearl but looks very clean.

justpball · 10-07-2009, 10:36 AM

I know I liked it with the gold, but my painter said everyone that came by said man I love this rootbeer color but why did he go with the gold? it looks like chit... so he wanted to repaint it and no charge for materials, so I said ok...will have good pics soon...

xs-style · 10-07-2009, 10:49 AM

Only thing is.... its your truck. If you liked it, and your gonna drive it, your opinion is what matters. But, were still waiting on pics.

justpball · 10-07-2009, 11:02 AM

Here are a few more of the old and here is one of the new, but I could not get a good pic to show the color because it was still in the booth.

*JCampbell* · 10-07-2009, 12:24 PM

The white doesn't seem to look bad, but I think the gold was a little more retro, which I dig.

Jonboy · 10-07-2009, 12:57 PM

I am curious to see what it looks like outside. I liked the first version, but I am lukewarm to the white diamond. It will probably look better in the sun.

justpball · 10-07-2009, 01:00 PM

it looks a little more creamy than in the pics

jb4short · 10-07-2009, 01:22 PM

looks great!

justpball · 10-07-2009, 08:24 PM

here is a little better pic.

joe231 · 10-07-2009, 08:38 PM

I dig it...wasn't feeling the gold that much, but I do love the root beer and the white makes the root beer stand out more....

Jonboy · 10-07-2009, 09:17 PM

It looks good both ways. Personally, I would have used pewter (like the late 90's - early 2000's GM pewter, code 382E). Looking forward to seeing it all together.

smashingchuck · 10-07-2009, 09:42 PM

I liked the gold, and I like the white.

I think with the white you are obligated to run a polished or chrome wheel.

justpball · 10-08-2009, 07:30 AM

Jonboy, I had to stay away from grey because of the interior. I agree chuck, I have chrome now but am tring to get my hands on some coys polished.

getting close!

joe231 · 10-26-2009, 10:31 AM

very nice!
I see you got some Coys

*BGRAFX* · 10-26-2009, 11:11 AM

Wow that is Sick! what size coys and tires? Do you still have the same drop on there with the 04 spindles?

Jonboy · 10-26-2009, 11:24 AM

It looks to be coming together very well. The color looks a lot better with the doors on. Nice job.

justpball · 10-26-2009, 01:15 PM

yea got the coys, they are 18s and 20s, it is bagged, thats all the way aired up. once I get it just like I want the suspension I am going to see if the 20s will fit on the front and keep the a/c stuff... and if they will just order 2 more 20s!

copperchevy · 10-26-2009, 01:44 PM

Nice!!!! i love that rootbeer color.

Driveway Dreams · 10-26-2009, 03:02 PM

Looks pretty good! I like the marble in the graphic. Nice, simple but stands out at the same time. Get it finished and show it off!!!!!!!!
