When I started racing cars around we would jack the back up a bit to put larger tires on the back...
I have to admit a Chevelle and Nova are meant to have done nice fat rubber on the back!

Man I rode by last Wednesday and my truck is still in the same spot where I left it :( I am planning on going by there Friday and hoping they at least have started on it! It may be true what McCoyAZ told me. 6-8 weeks at a paint shop actually means 4-6 months....:lol: let's hope not

That is how my truck has turned out. My cab and bed have been there since March and just now getting started on it. Hopefully yours doesn't take that long.

I hate to say it and trust me that I lived through it and was not at all happy about it.

The more you bug them the more annoyed they get and then you pay for it with a crappy job.

The only tool you have is your check book.

Pay them like they work on your truck. The longer it takes to get it done....the longer it takes for them to be paid.

Haha, I actually don't stop at the shop so I haven't bothered them yet! :lol: I just drive past it and see my truck in the same spot with the same old brown paint! I paid approx. 50% down in cash with the hopes that he would get started early.....My plan didn't work :lol:

So I rode with a buddy of mine to the paint shop to get an estimate on his 64 Impala. The guy told me that a bay cleared out and my truck would begin tear down Monday! Super excited

Well I made it by the paint shop Thursday and got a couple progress pics. Friday they were finishing up the ding repair and getting ready to take the truck apart to start block sanding. Hopefully I can get more pics this Friday.

Haha, he told me it should be complete in 2 - 4 weeks. He originally told me it would be out around the the middle / end of this month so he is on schedule.....for now!

Looking good. Yours may be finished before mine lol. I need to call my painter tomorrow and see what's going on. I was hoping to have it back by this weekend so I could put it back together.

Do you know of any powder coaters in our area?

Extreme Powdercoating in Beaumont. The guy that owns it is named Chris Comalander. I know they do commercial type work and most likely can do what you need. Their number is 409-796-1335. They also have a big plasma cutter if you want something cut out.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 
Thanks. I'll give them a call. I just need a few miscellaneous interior parts PCed like the seat frame and e-brake handle
