I just started on mine 3 months ago, but here are some engine pics. I'm far from finished, though...

My 85, Got it back in June, Building a 6.0L now for it

Before

After a $30 paint job and some elbow grease

TheWhiteElephant · 12-13-2010, 01:45 PM

Jason, that looks killer. Can you elaborate on that "$30 paint job"?

was that a roll on job or a krylon job? either way DAYUM! I have a truck I'm resurrecting as a DD and a farm truck that I'm planning on selling but the more and more I work on it the more I want to keep it...wife might kill me though. I think a paint job like yours would do it plenty of justice.

Thanks, Yep its rolled on rustoleum, I havent even sanded it at all, no orange peel or anything, hopefully over christmas I can get to wet sanding and make it really shine.

WigglesTheHoly · 12-13-2010, 02:11 PM

wow now if I can just talk my dad into us doing that to the truck..(back story: its a truck my dad and I have gone in on together he supplied the motor I supplied the truck and other goodies. Hope to resale for profit to put money into my other truck)
