Impressed the ricer girlfriends too???

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Cousins indeed, one the skinny one (Denee stepside) the other a little wider (Mikes fleetside), both nice looking.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Ha ha, I love the understatement!

I'm planning to drive mine to work as soon as it cools off a bit. I currently work in West L.A. Land of the truly high maintenance. There are Rolls, Fiskars, Mercedes out the ying yang in my parking lot. I don't EXPECT to "wow the masses" - unless they collectively feel sorry for me! Lol.

I think it was Wow it's 106 outside and he doesn't have AIR CONDITIONING.
Or WOW why does that thing make so much noise?
or WOW Why does that truck sit low in the front?
Or WOW why does that truck peal out on every light change?
Or WOW that truck is too old

I think that kind of wow

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Maybe it was, "Wow, I thought he made more money than that!" ha ha ha.

ahhhhhh dont feel bad dan ! your truck looks great and that day you do get it painted it will look great
jussss my 02 centavos worth

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Ha ha, I honestly don't feel bad...well except that my progress has been stalled on the truck recently - the trailer expense, big doings at work - I'll get back to it in earnest soon. Hell, I haven't even been able to move my boat from in front of her so I can take her out to a little local cruise night a couple of guys here go to!

As for paint? Yeah, I can't wait to have it just EXACTLY as I want it to be mechanically. And I mean polished stainless exposed bolts, AC, PS, the whole thing. THEN, I'll take her all apart again for SHINEEE perfect paint!

dan

do you have a color in mind ?

it took me a very long time to find what i like - finally did ! on a 1992 vette

color ? 1992 corvette black rose
i think a 2-3 year color only

cheers

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

All along I've been planning on red. Yes, red is trite but it is because it looks good on these trucks. Specifically Porsche Guards Red, possibly GM Torch red or the dark red that Honda/Acura uses.

But more and more lately I've been thinking of a green. Not exactly like the Oregano that is one it. Something lighter, softer and closer to an era-correct color. I like the green of the new Fiat 500's, but its not quite what I have in mind. Probably not metallic, but that could change.

nice choices sir

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Cleaned 60 years of grease off the springs. Was surprised to see the original part number painted on top of the springs in such good shape.

Grease is a good preservative!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

If it had only done such a good job on the bushings.

Nice truck though:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

That would look good for sure! I like solid colors (Non metallic) They seem to hold up better.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

:lol: the type of people that look down their noses at you, Even if you are taller:lol: Haven't figured out wow they do that yet:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you were trying to say on that last line but I think it was a compliment. I'll take it as that and say thank you!

Happy Weekend to all you guys. Mine will be happy happy; I'm a baseball fan and especially a Dodgers fan and they just clinched. With apologies to you D'Backs, Giants, Padres & Rockies fans I couldn't be happier!

:confused:

Those teams don't play football. Is baseball a sport also :lol:

Just kidding Dan, have a great weekend ;)

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I run into lot of those types at work also. I work on elevators and they are everywhere out here in Los Angeles.
Really funny when you look at them like they are tourists and also talk to them that way, they usually tell me'' sorry I am from here'' and I reply. '' Don't worry I can tell'' then just walk away.
Sometimes I will turn around to see there expression and they stand there staring at me confused as I walk away.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I'm temporarily working out of a project office in a building where a lot of people related to the entertainment business work.

There's the occasional OUTRAGEOUSLY beautiful young woman and they're not as stand-offish as you might imagine. I think they're used to NOT being spoken to. Some guys are intimidated. I'm 58 so I'm of no real interest to them so they relax if I am pleasant, "Hi, how are you today?" "Nice dress!" etc. in the elevator. They smile and act surprised that a man spoke to them.

But some; not all, of the attorneys in the entertainment business (my daughter is one just not in this building) are "Grand Prix" - if you get my meaning. Next door at the lunch places they act like they're more important than you. I let them know, "...you may be somebody in your office but you're just another slob like me out here, buddy". You don't have to SAY that, you just have to not defer to them like they're used to because of their high dollar car or suit, etc.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Yeah, baseball is the game with the ROUND ball, not the one with pointy one! You know, the one where normal sized people play it, not genetic giants!:lol:

Seriously, I used to be a HUGE Rams fans. As big as a Dodgers fan. It kills me we didn't get to keep their name like Cleveland got to keep the "Browns".

After they left I tried to be a Chargers fan, a 49'ers fan, etc. Never was a Raiders fan because I hated Al Davis - God rest his soul. None ever really caught on with me. I want an expansion team, but the likelihood is if we ever get a team it'll be the Phuckineers, or the Viqueens (as my Minnesotan son-in-law calls them when they play badly). Now, if there were ever a Dodgers football team, I'd be a nut job for them!:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

That's why Dan can't get nothing done on the truck, he's watching sports! Dan, put a big screen in the garage.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Bought some carpet from a fellow board member Caudillo64 got it in the mail today. Thanks Caudillo64

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Well yesterday..... fitted my stainless strip around the gas door in my bed. Got another paint quote that is more in my range. Saw a truck that has a build thread on here that had been sold.

'' Dan, put a big screen in the garage. ''

there ya go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Finally got the wood from the finisher. He said all he had to do was color sand and buff it out. Went by the Truckshop and bought my polished stainless strips for the bed.
Am currently trying install with the wifey helping me. Hard to get the special pieces I am adding on the inside panels. Will post pics to show everyone my surprise.

Yeah Dan, why not?
Bring it with you when we do your frame. Lol

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Oh, we're doing my frame in YOUR shop?

If that's true it'd almost be worth it to buy a big screen to get you to help me! ha ha.

I took my 90 year old mother to Walmart last week and you know they have a 1080 dpi big screen, I think like 48 or 52 inches for $498!!! Blew me away. That's CHEAP compared to what they used to cost.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Removed the gas tank, it had about 2 gallons of gas in it and about 2lbs of rust. I put degreaser and chain in then went to muratic acid. It got a it out but it's still pretty bad. I opted to order a new one.
