Oh I have moved up the ladder at the shop, they let me sand now ;)


It's called being at the right place at the right time. I was in the paint supply store that's in same building as my shop, which the man I rent my shop from own's the paint store. I was in there poor mouthing Joey that runs the counter and the PPG rep over heard us talking and out of the blue he said hell I'll give you the paint for your personal car. Little did he know the base coat paint I wanted was right at 750 dollars a gallon, then plus the clear. I think this paint has 28 parts pearl, that's why it is so high.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Cab is Looking great!!!

Re: 198Plus build
 

Thanks I thought it turned out nice. The firewall had already had epoxy and black color put on it, I'm just going to scuff it up before paint.

Thanks

Re: 198Plus build
 

Cab looks great Ronnie. :metal:

Re: 198Plus build
 

great build looking good

Re: 198Plus build
 

Thanks.....

Re: 198Plus build
 

I originally painted the firewall and bottom of cab chassis black, but decided to do all the same color as cab, so it needed a little more work.

Re: 198Plus build
 

There's a light at the end of the tunnel?:lol: I guess I still have work to do . Trucks lookin goood.:ito:

Re: 198Plus build
 

It is looking smooth, and I like it when the firewall is the same color as the rest of the cab.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Lookin' good Ronnie.

When are ya gonna pick up your parts at my work? Billy brought the bumper over. I'm not in the front of the shop any more they moved me to the lower shop. They are putting a quick lane where I was. I have tons more room now. ;)

The bumper is safe while I'm there, but there are contractors in and out at times upgrading the building.

Re: 198Plus build
 

I just hope there's paint at end of the tunnel :lol:......Thanks


I debated on it and came to the same conclusion as you......Thanks

Thanks Alan..........I'll call you later.

Re: 198Plus build

great work, cant wait to see paint on it.

Re: 198Plus build
 

WOW. I just spent the better part of a full day reading through this entire thread, and feel that because of that I have earned the right to make a couple points...

1. Ronnie, you change your mind... ALOT.

2. Alan, you do amazing work and have an incredible attention to detail.

3. Ronnie, you have put together an awesome body shop. I admire the drive you have to find solutions to meeting your workmanship standards, even if that means buying a bodyshop in the process.

Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

Re: 198Plus build
 

I would call that slick! Looks good Ronnie can't wait to see some paint on it.
