Awesome work here! Fantastic fab skills and bodywork. The fiberglass work is really cool too. The skully console is crazy man!

My favourite part.... cold beer and watching paint dry!

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Peel some tape and paper tomorrow. Doin stripes along the side in white. Similar to the factory moulding.. follows the lower feature line and goes over the wheel wells, etc.. Not sure if i'm going to spray them or decal them yet. Opinions appreciated here. This truck is gettin some shop truck logos.. done to my wife's folks former implement dealership.

Beer in hand watchin' paint dry with ya.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Humm, not sure about how a painted stripe would look. Will it be like the 67? Don't remember what year you have oif its a Chevy or GMC. Maybe go to the photo shop thread and ask someone to do a couple ideas?

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Ya... A stripe similar to a '67 side moulding. My first car ('72 442) was black with a side stripe like this. Love the look of it. The truck started off as a '70 C10... Not sure what you'd call it now. Lol.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Paint turning out great :metal: Got an example of the stripe?

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Thanks! Just like this.... only a stripe.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

I'd run it through ps but the pics available + the color make it difficult to mockup for a decent attempt.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Ya know the 67 is the only trim i like, Guess if it suits your desire then go for it. where i live trim is nothing but a rust promoter, humm, now ya got me thinking too LOL!.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

I like the trim look for that year. Can't image how difficult it'd be to paint them but if you're confident and it's your truck.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

i Like that idea id like to to that to my 72 lwb when i get ti back from paint shop lets see it when you get it done

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Not sure whether to do paint or vinyl with the stripe...? Started color sanding the box today.. Not easy grinding the shine off fresh paint..(on the nerves like)

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Tape and paper peeled off... opened shop door for some natural light.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Looks like the prep work paid off nicely.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Thanks... Not perfect by any means. Painted in my garage. Some dust... And my usual one small fly. Lol. Color sanding should take care of most of it.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Shinning up nice :metal: When you said you wanted a 'stripe' instead of metal trim, do you mean 1 solid white stripe? I'll take one of your latest pics and retry. You get flies, I get spiders :lol:

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Ya... a 1" solid white stripe that follows the same lines as the trim. Thanks litew8.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Nice job, looks sweet!

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

Thanks! Wife shakin her head at me again... Sayin I'm too fussy. As I'm out here knocking the shine off with a block and 1500. Lol.

Re: Project NiteMare-1970 C10 LWB build
 

I'm not a ps wiz but managed this.
