Re: razorback red... buildup

Re: razorback red... buildup

Re: razorback red... buildup

closing in on the end of july and the heat is unreal. i get up at 5 in the morning just to have a couple of hours in the shop before i go to my desk job and stare at a computer all day. early in the morning is the coolest temperature of the day and thats when stuff happens around here.
recently the wheel tubs and tailgate got color, hopefully late tonight i can get the first color on the bed but we'll see what happens.

painted the white and satin black on the grill surround...

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

just put a different set of valve covers and air cleaner on red and thought i'd put it out to you guys that follow this build, which look do you prefer.


the stock look of the pic below?

or the light custom fins look from a few posts back?

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

very nice

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

It surprises me but I kind-of like the stock look. The red in the 327 stickers really sets off the gray.
Verry nice truck BTW

Sweet way to mount and move your cab during restoration

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

Truck looks great!

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

man, that's a tough choice...i don't think you can go wrong either way, but i kinda think the "stock" look fits the look of your truck better


is it red or just a reflection? hard to tell

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

The 327 valve covers get my vote, and I would be inclined to try and stuff the ballot box on that. That air cleaner though..... :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:, that is absolutely delicious, I love it... I want one! Is that a stock air cleaner cleaned up, or after market?

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

just got out of paint... shot the bed. was 98 degrees in the booth and the paint was almost drying right out of the gun. mixed super thin with slow reducer and spent 2 hrs walking around and around that bed and slowly fogged it...
no runs and it flowed out great. a couple of tiny bugs decided to die for the cause. but looked good after cleanup.
will know more tomorrow morning.

so, thanks for the comments on the truck. i appreciate it guys.

anybody other than 56taskforce have an opinion on the motor look?
i agree with you 56 task, i like the stock look too. those are getting to be hard parts to find. a perfect set of 327 covers plus the 4 barrel big snorkle air cleaner...

but... i am a rings and caps kinda guy and fins and louvers are really my style too... so i need help deciding.

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

If the 327 valve covers and snorkel air cleaner end up orphaned, I would love to give them a good home!

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

Stock look, hands down no queastion! do not put the finned stuff back on

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

they're scarce around here. everybody threw them away to put custom chrome ones on. sorry, these will probably end up on my truck, got some time in them but i salvage alot and will keep a lookout for you... the valve covers are reproduced i think, but probably not that air cleaner.

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

Wishful dreaming my friend, no worries. Your project is looking awesome, nice work:metal:

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

Awesome truck you're building! I'm looking for a project to start myself...i'll find one but hope the progress is as nice as yours!

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

guess we're kinda neighbors... stop by sometime, maybe i can help you find your project.

thanks sig... but are you sure about the valve covers? (little yellow laughing guy)...

heres the red bed. got up around 5 and went out to see how well the paint flowed. not much. theres some peel. see third pic. but since this is the first color, it gets 600 wet then repaint.
that really sounds easy... can't believe how easy it was to type, cause it's going to take hours to sand.

i appreciate the compliments guys... and there's just 5 weeks till kickoff and lots to do.

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

all i can think of when i see this is CCCLLLEAAAANNN!!!!! super nice work man!!! everything looks perfect!

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

I'll definitely do that...any certain time better than others or are you always out in the shop? lol!

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

clemdaddy, any idea what you plan to do with bed wood yet? Factory black would be perfectamundo!!!

Re: razorback red... buildup
 

And i like the way the stockers blend in - looks good.
