Ooooooo pretty!!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

So I finally made it up to the shop and got my truck. Let me say this. I had to drive it about 5 miles with no windows in it to the glass shop. It was FREEZING to say the least! I'm hoping they get the windows in today so I can have the wheels and tires put on Saturday.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Looking forward to seeing it all finished up. Lookin good!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I am excited for you.

Hope it is everything you wanted and then some.

We need LOTs of pictures. And then tell us what you would do different, not only to the truck itself but how and who you hired to work on it....

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Haha, I wouldn't have told the paint shop I wasn't in a big hurry! Overall they did a real good job on the work itself.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Update! Last night I got the grille, headlight bezels, grille trim, custom badges, front bumper, cab trim, tail lights, side markers and the drip trim above the door (I guess that's what it's called) installed. More pics coming soon!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Truck looks really really sharp man!!! I love it!!! The rims really compliment it!! :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Glad you went with the trim, looks killer!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks guys! Yeah Sodell, I'm glad I went with the trim.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Got a little bit more work done. I need to change out one headlight today and hopefully get the rear bumper installed today.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Dang! That cab band and bodyside molding looks so good. Great job man, great looking truck. Are you doing anything fancy/upgraded on the lighting?

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

That's awesome!!!!!

I definitely love the custom logos those are sharp and definitely one of a kind!! I hope either I come out there or you come visit me I want to see the truck!! :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks! Eventually I would like to upgrade the lighting but I'll keep the factory lighting until the interior and engine are done.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'll come to Houston eventually, lol

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Couple more pics. I couldn't install the windows because they didn't give me my power windows switches back from the paint shop, lol. I'll have to go by there tomorrow. I need the switches so I can roll the windows up to wash it :lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Ever thought about a Billet grill?

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Haha McCoy, you do great work! Every vehicle I have owned I have installed a billet grille in. I think I'll have to keep the stock grille in this though. I love the original trim on these trucks.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Truck looks absolutely outstanding bro!! Great color choice, and great wheel selection too! :metal: :chevy:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Truck is absolutely killer. We need to do a little mod party and have some beer and burgers. I can get a babysitter to help keep the kids entertained lol

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Haha sounds like a plan!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Cleaned up

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

thumbs up!!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Awesome truck man!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Looking very good, I like the cab trim polished up like that. Are you going to put the trim back on the tailgate? Sport mirrors coming?

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Looks pretty tough man.

Are you going to change the interior color. I was thinking it had a brown or tan interior. Seen a couple of pics posted on a FB page the other day too.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks! I still have a lot of work to do!

I've bought new mirrors, the big factory stainless ones. Not sure if I'm going to install them yet. lol. I like the look without the mirrors but then again I like the factory look. I bought a tailgate band the other day but it has a few dings in it so I'll probably not use it. I'll get one and polish it up eventually....lol.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks! Yeah I plan on doing the interior in the next couple of months. I've got to get a quote next week or so from someone local. I plan on doing black and gray interior. There is a person on the forum that does really good interior. Black vinyl on the dash and panels with a silver stitching. Then a black and gray vinyl or cloth on the bench seat and a black carpet.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

What page? You should've of said hello! lol

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I was going to but then something side tracked me and I forgot. Lol


73-87 Square Body Classifieds & Discussions. I had to go back and see which one it was.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Yeah I'm on like 4 or 5 FB square body pages, lol.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Beautiful bro!!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks Korwin!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Checking in here to say nice ride, brother! I'm not too terribly far away from you. I'm right across the state line in Louisiana.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Glad to have you here! I looked at your thread and I really like your truck.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Something I sketched up today. I want to keep my receiver hitch but I want to hide it also. This is what I came up with.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks, Clay. Glad to be here.

On the hidden hitch note, here is a great write up on something similar by SCOTI. I hope it at least gives you some ideas, this is the way I plan to do mine, if I ever need it to tow.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

It looks like the paint shop did a good job. So far so good man! I've been following since day 1. I look forward to see what you do next.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'll have to read the thread. Thanks Reuban
Going to get a few quotes on the interior in the next couple of days. Hoping to start that in the next month or so.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Why the big mirrors? Is this going to be a DD? Paint came out fantastic, BTW. Love the two tone you came up with.
