Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Amazing, that color is turning out great! I am going with House of Kolor paint too, just haven't decided on what colors yet.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Sweet color! Looks pretty close to the candy brandywine we used for the scallops and trim on my buddies '65 Cutlass roadster, just a few shades lighter. Can't wait for the finished product.:smoke:

Thanks! Bed is not done yet, should be by this weekend though. These wheels are staying till i can buy some new ones.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Too bad you're so far away, I've got a good friend here in my town who is amazing with aluminum wheel polishing. He could make your alloys look like brand new chrome.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

What's the trick? :lol:

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Here's a few pictures, the bed is getting painted today.

The guy used to own a buisness that did all kinds of aluminum polishing in the Bay Area, and when he moved up here (retired) he brought a lot of his old equipment with him. He still does polishing, just in his spare time. He does amazing work though, took a set of Cragars I have that were black with dirt and grime when I got 'em and made them look better than new. If you look in my buld thread you can see the one rear wheel on my Camaro in a pic. Not the best pic, but the wheels look incredible.

Looking forward to pics of your finished paint job.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Damn dude, cant wait till my truck gets to this stage. Im tired of fixing dents lol.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Sweet ride man! Wish my first one would have been a short wide. Awsome paint keep up the great work.

It'll all be worth it in the end!

Thanks man and the OU plate will be their for a long long time! :metal:


Thanks!

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

beautiful.:cool:

Seriously, if that truck were mine I would just finish the paint job, polish up the wheels, and call it done (visually anyways). I really dig the look of your truck.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Thanks, really the only other thing I want to do to the exterior is save up for some new wheels and a cowl hood, not sure what wheels yet though.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Yeah its always worth it in the end. But I go to school, work at a body shop, and my truck has more dings and dents than I can count lol. But I like body work, could care less for motors though. I am in love with your truck now, paint looks amazing.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Cleaned it up a bit today.

Nice truck man. My dad and I did a few father son restos and I have been doing them ever since the best thing you can do with your dad. I started on an s-10 when I was 13 and I still own it now at 27 I will give you a hint its fast. : ) Keep up the good work.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
 

Great work!

This can't be your first paint job. You did a great job!

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb
