thanks man!

the checker pattern is really more to do with patience's then being hard i use the bare metal for the other color to make it easyer but you take it down to bare metal tape everything off draw your squares cut them out one by one and paint it then pull off the rest of the tape and clear coat takes a long time on smaller stuff like the shifter witch i messed up like 3 times but the glove box was the first shot same with the rear view mirror and the inside of the cab is flat black

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

door panels are finished up man did they come out sweet!

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

what you guys think?

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

Man, I love your truck... I like the little touches you are doing while going through and redoing things. Keep it up!! The outside black reminds me of one that I had that my dad used to own and it was given to me as my first truck.

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

lookin sharp man :metal: hope to be doing a little of that my self this weekend. if i can keep the temp in the shop around 70 .... but it looks like a cold wet weekend :waah::chevy:

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

this is a customers car hes a old ass man late 70's and he loves this car brought it in for a complete engine rebuild and all new steering parts hes spend a ton of money on it in our shop he says he doesn't care what it takes he would never buy a newer car

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

That is a slick looking body style on that car. But........
I will NEVER own another MOPAR again!

My second car was a '64 Chrysler 300.
The stupid stuff I had to go through with it just from retard engineering was enough to swear me off MOPARs for life.
I will tolerate an AMC rig before any of those. :devil:

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

Wow talk about a blast from the past... when I was a kid my dad had a IH truck. You certainly dont see many of those any more! Perhaps even more rare than a Willys now days...
