Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

yes sir, they will line up the fenders, hood etc, then tape off and paint........ and the red is actually a custom blended sunburst orange metallic (darker version), it should pop more after color sanded/buffed and out in natural light etc... Guess it would have helped if i would have took the core support with the rest of the stuff.... It was hiding in the garage :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

10-roger...

so the engine bay is going to be the lighter silver??...as well as the core support??...right...and the bed will get black bed liner??

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looking absolutely awesome!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

firewall silver, inner fenders, under hood, core support black. Black bed liner....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Jonathan. I told my buddy i wanted to do the angled firewall like you are doing ,and he walked away from me quickly :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

:lol: my fab guy didn't walk away, but I did have to buy a NEW shrinker/stretcher for him :chevy:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

but your not in paint!!!! and you mean you bought you a new skrinker/stretcher right.......

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Don't remind me how far away from paint I am :waah: :lol:


Actually, pre-paid on some of the labor so that he could get a nicer shrinker/stretcher for his shop. Worth it to me as the end product on my truck is nicer and he's happy adding more/better tools to his already nice shop. His labor has been very reasonable and his work very good so far. Plus, I wouldn't have time to learn to do some of these things and do them so my build wouldn't be nearly as far along without his help/letting me use his tools.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

So. What did YOU do this weekend? Not the paint shop......but you! HAHAHAHAAHa The truck is looking really nice, the stripe makes the paint job! Good call on that!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

All i did this weekend , was strip the cowls, and delete the antennae, and a couple of holes the PO drilled in them.....

Thanks for the kudo's!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

so what did you do with your stock antennae? i was thinking of shaving mine too but not sure what to about the antennae, i wanted the stock look but after looking through these build threads it seems the less clutter on the body the better they look!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks!

Kev, the antennae that was on it looked aftermarket, and we decided to shave it. The hidden antennae i am leaning towards is this:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

You have a nice truck on your hands, making great progress. I wish I was as far along on my build as you are yours. Your son is one lucky man, cherish the time you have with him out in the shop. I wish my dad was more into automobiles and restoration. He likes to see what I do and can create and is willing to lend a hand here and there but other wise he doesnt like partaking too much. If I ever have kids I hope I can have the bond that you and your son are building. These are the memories that last a life time. Keep up the good work.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

wow, thts a cheap nice alernative. i know on my s10 i had i shaved the antennae and just laid the original one inside the fender hidden, and it worked well. i like the electric one though...hmm...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Todd,

Yes i cherish every minute of bonding time with my son! It's had it's rough times, but i remember when i was a teenager. I enjoyed working on projects with my dad when i was growing up, so just passing the torch! Thanks again, and you have a nice project on your hands that i look forward to seeing progress on!

Kevin,

Thanks Michael!
