The GMC is in hot rod black now...
 

All part of my evil plan...first I had to strip off all the trim and crap I didn't want painted...

Then i had to stop and read the paper...all that Martha crap in the news...has me tickled to death.
Kinda glad I got that inside info so I could drop all my stock in her...just in time too. ;) http://64.246.42.114/vboard/images/icons/icon14.gif
Girl scout cookies were pretty killer too...but i don't think they still make them out of real girl scouts.

Martha...or her evil twin?

So anyways...as I always say, if you don't have the propper tools, find some one who does. Used a D.A. and spent a little time cutting the paint down. Turns out, the hood was not original, but a repop. No wonder it dents so easily.
Here it is while I clean all the sanding dust out of the bay...and out of my tool box and my cart.

Long story short, here she is all done up. looks kinda mean IMO.

With any luck, by this time next week, it'll have some flames on it.
Now i just need to find some one local with the tallent to draw the flames, yet is willing to work for free girl scout cookies.

Here is another cool shot...had to stand on a stool on top of a work bench for this shot...the things I go through for a decent pic, only to be ruined by crappy lighting. :rolleyes:

she looks like a chevy now! she looks lke a completely different truck! wow. looks better! i think some of us might miss what she used to be though

Priceless
 

Nothing like a talented guy who is creative at showing off his truck. Looks good!

Look's good andy you could throw some red steelie's on it for an old school look.. BTW the front marker light is on up side down??

hey nice work! that thing looks tough.

thats pretty bad ass, still have that 396 for it?

I traded the 396 for some future labor, so no. It is gone. (And that was a total b!tch to get out of the basement) It turned out to be a 402 + it was 10 over.
The side marker light IS in upside down, and it took me a moment to figure how you knew...very good eye I must say. I did that intentially, the black paint that surrounds the two colored sections looked better on the under side, so i flipped it around so you would see that instead of worn spots when you walk up to it.

Man that looks great!! I agree, find some stocker rims, and paint them red. . . . ;) :gmc: :metal: :devil:

been thinking about it, but 275/60's on a stock rim would look kinda like a fat guy on a real small kids bike...it might work, but it just wouldn't look right.

FInd some 4x4 73-87 rallies!

Yeah, I been looking for an affordable set of rallys for quite a while now...they just don't exist here.

ok ...looks good .. what type of paint did you use ... gotta dig the flat black

:bowtie:

also ...what happened to the GMC emblem on the hood ???

do i win a prize for noticing that ?? :p

Looks great! I liked the way it looked before too but cool "new" truck!

Plain old el-cheapo wally world black primer...about 12 or 13 cans of it.
No prize for noticing the loss of the last GMC piece..sorry, it is kinda obviouse.

Cool! :)

that looks mo' better. :metal: all you need now is some pin-stripping

How about some striped flame's on that baby lik the gmc in the pic??

It don't say GMC anymore!:( :gmc: ;)

Looks like it will run like a scalded dog, nice looking truck.
If I ever get mine one color and decide to change I might
try that look.
