Coulter,

Your photo skills are top notch, too. Def magazine quality. Hey when you got it you got it, right?

I've shot some static HDR car stuff. I'd love to hear more on your post processing. PM me if you want.

Gorgeous work!

Greg

Those Pics are...:jdp:

Well Played Sir!!!:metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

You gotta quit taking pics, lol....you're gonna fill up my album!....










J/K, of course ;)

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

The side on shot, with the door arch and the yellow street stripes is an incredible photo !! :metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Safe to say those were some jaw droppin shots......

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I started a Coulter's Album because of the Fabrication, Photographic, Artistic Skillz, Inventiveness, and Awesomeness that are found within this Build… When do we vote for Truck of the Year!!! :clap::cf:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx guys glad you all are diggin the pics!!!

i took a road trip today to go help my buddy work on his f100. i know its a ford but its pretty badass!!! his plans are to drop in his 408 stroker, accuair, full resto on the interior, and get some steelies with wide whites!!!

i helped him cut his bed floor out and raise it!! actually turned out to be a fairly easy job.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Really like the white and blue color combo on the Ford lookin nice.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

If you took that low light shot by hand (not resting the camera on something) then you are either pretty steady fellow, or you got dang lucky !!
Nice shot !! ~again~ LoL :metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I agree with Ta2Don
creativity, ambition, fabrication and artistic skill put you and this truck at the top of the list for truck of the year. There are big money shops out there that don't put as much effort and thought into the details as you do.
and the Ford, its old an cool so I don't think we'll hold it against him.lol

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

well i had the iso setting all the way up so i didnt have to have a long shutter speed. thats why the pic came out real grainy though

thanx guys it means alot :metal::metal::metal::metal:

ive been slacking bigtime on updating lately. ive got a few new things done to the truck and have been driving it around alot. a few weeks ago i went to a local carshow and got to meet some members of the forum (Ta2Don Clemdaddy Kieth and sigshooter)
it was really cool to talk with all of them and check out their trucks :metal::metal::metal::metal:
here are some pics from the show

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Some great looking trucks....thanks for sharing the pictures!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Great pictures! Good looking trucks! That picture #10 ... the old truck with "rat" on the door.... that thing is slick! pretty creative.

If I can ever get my old trucks on the road I have to come down to Oklahoma for some of your shows. Last time I was at a show down there was at Mustang Ok. during their "hot rod holiday" weekend about...oh...1993. LOL.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

As always....AWESOME!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Cool pics! I really dig the teal/green patina '66 from the cruise-in. I've seen pics of it on Facebook before. Glad you got to hang with some of the board members as well.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

PICS, PICS, PICS...:metal::metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Seen this truck on facebook and other places....One of my favorite patina colors. Was trying to find a way to do something similar on my suburban

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

ok here is the rest of the update. last weekend i went to the stray kat 500 car show in dewey Oklahoma and i must say i was really impressed!!! there was a crazy amount of badass cars and trucks.. I only slept about 2 hours the night before so i got lazy and didnt take many pics but here are the few i got.
i left friday night to meet up with maggie and jason but my truck slung the belt off due to an alt bracket issue. so i limped it home and took about a 2 hour nap then woke up in the middle of the night so i could fix it and hit the road early. this was after 3 days of thrashing trying to get some new stuff put on the truck..

https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2898/...7ffea5eb_z.jpg

after the show we cruised together till we had to go separate ways. we stopped to get a few pics together. the lighting was really harsh and couldnt find a cool location so i wasnt real happy with the pics but it was still awsome to get some pics with jason and maggie

since i didnt take any pics of my new goodies at the show i went for a lil cruise today and snapped a few new pics. i think the shots on the bridge are my favorite so far :metal::metal::metal:

i couldnt decide which i liked better so im going to post this one twice.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7320/...0f1f0988_z.jpg

https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2929/...8831df0c_z.jpg



ok here are a few of the new things.. didnt really take any pics while i was working on these updates but you get the idea

i added some air cylinders to open my bed floor for me. it also holds it down to and i figured out a really sweet way to make it latch and it is totally hidden. I didnt quite have all this lined out at the show but ive got it working pretty good now.. i will try to make a video soon

also installed a 32 gallon fuel cell to get rid of the stock tank in the cab. just had to cut a hole and install my sending unit. only thing that wasnt cool was i had to give up one of my tanks. they were too long to mount them on the side of the frame like i wanted. o well maybe i will chop it down later.

not the greatest pic

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

btw keith i took your advice on my swaybar problem. Adding a clevis instead of using a heimjoint is keeping my sway bar centered like it is supposed to be

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

We had a blast hanging out and will have to do it again for sure!! And I'll say it again, this is my favorite build on this forum!!
Jason

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Man you just keep killin it. And the bloomin robot sign holder out of this world.....Way kool.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

cool hanging out with you in tahlequah. good show and a really big time.
i think your truck should have been best of show but the judges must have been shiney paint guys... engineering alone, and you got the winner. hope to catch up with you at another show soon.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Nice to see it FINALLY on the road ;) Insane work, man. :metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

i wish i would have not had to work and went to the car show!! I like the second pic of truck on the bridge, or atleast that angle!!

man you an jdoisher, both have the struts holding the hoods up, that's one mod. I have been thinking of doing if I don't do the flip forward cowl inducted hood!!

let me know whenever you come up this way, would like to hang out again and check the truck out!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Thought I would stop buy an check out your thread an I didn't realize you was from Muskogee I'm just down the road a few miles in stigler down here with the Ballard boys, your truck looks good I just picked up a swb 66 a few months ago

I thank you came to there cruze last year an it was a rain out I thank I saw your truck at sonic

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

DAMN, you got one of the coolest longbeds on here! Great fab skills and a ace photografer to boot. And your shop, wow, i wish my shop looked like that.
You got it all, and i'm jeleaous as hell...now if you'll excuse me, i gotta go sell my kidneys or something...;)

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Ahh cool man!! stigler is a cool little town. i wish i could have made it to the cruise last weekend but already had plans.

Thanx man!!! Ive been doing some rustic remodeling in my shop. you guys are gonna dig it. still got a little work to do on it then i will get some good pics. also new parts for the truck too so stay tuned :metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

We can't wait you know that.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I like the second one on the bridge. It shows a little more 3D with partial in the bed shot.
I swear when you do those shots of the truck. They look like out of a magazine or fake. They are so clear it just doesn't seem like a real photo.

Did you come to Texas? Or did Jason and Maggie go to Oklahoma?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

i will have some updates later today :metal::metal::metal:

:metal::metal: thanx man!!! All my pics are actually taken with a low end nikon dslr that is about 10 years old. I think im gonna upgrade soon though. i wouldnt mind getting into photography as a job. compared to all my other artistic talents photography is super easy :lol::lol::lol:

They came to Oklahoma for the stray kat 500 in dewey. It was a really good show!! I plan on cruising down to texas for the pistons and paint carshow for sure this year :metal::metal:

btw my truck was nominated by Likearoc13 (Big thanks to you man :metal::metal:) for truck of the month. If you guys havent voted then help me out!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Vote# 59 ;)

When you pancaked. Did you move the xmember forwars a bit?
When and where will the pistons and paint show be held?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

If the update has anything to do with recent Instagram posts...:bann::metal::metal::metal:

Vote # 56 :cf:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Coulter, I would like to see you draw your truck as it is right now. I knew a few people growing up that could draw really good. I thought theirs was the best I ever seen until I seen yours. Thats just ridiculous how spot on they are.

Also I found the website for the piston show. It says your vehicle must be older then 65.
Wonder why that would be the cut off date when the 66 is the same thing.
Here is a copy of the rules on the page.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Just read this whole build coulter. You are very gifted.

Love your eye for good pictures and attention to detail.

Love the truck!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Thanx man!! ya ive been itching to draw a cool pic of it but just havent had time.
ya it will be fine as long as it is the same body style

thanx for the vote man!!
well you just reminded me i need to post those pics on here too. its just shop updates for now im running low on time

much appreciated man thanx for checking it out!!!

here are some shots of my shop since ive been doing some remodeling!! My buddy Evan hooked me up with some killer looking old barn tin and some old rotted boards. to most people that stuff was trash!! to me its patina awesomeness :metal::metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I have always loved your shop!!
I am however surprised you heavy stool is not on casters...

I would probably spend more time in a shop like that, than I would in a house. :metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Hey dude, I cast vote #62 for your truck... you are smokin that poll man !!
Although I gotta confess, Whippinsaw stepside with the fleetside trim and the bedrails was mighty purty too !!

Too bad the TOTM and TOTY dont get a trophy.... because you know, that would be badass :metal:
