Business was slow, so I took the Cyclops (64') to my painter today to remove some old rattle can primer and reveal the obvious patina,......this is what he found..... ancient hieroglyphics from a past life as a "Sign's" shop truck. :metal: It doesn't get any cooler than this!!!! :chevy:
He got tired of me looking over his shoulder telling him to be careful, so he made me leave for a while. :lol:




And just think, I came close to selling this baby twice last week.:mm:

That's cool! I really like the lettering shape and color, especially against the white.

Have one of your striping/lettering guys go back over it with some One-Shot thinned out with a LOT of mineral spirits. Go over it one time, leave the brush marks in it, and call it good. You can knock it back with some mineral spirits and a Scotchbrite to take a little of the gloss out of it when it dries.

I'm anxious to see what else pops up during the "excavation" process!

Truck is looking good and a nice find on the door. You sure you didn't miss a 63 grille behind the seat LOL

Amazing! I didn't know that you could take primer off like that. It looks so good.

Yeah, Danny (the painter) made it look eazy.

Big if! :mm: Replace the stock grill with a 63' grill and some chrome bumpers, and "hopefully" have it running by this weekend or next weekend. :smoke:
