Progress pics
 

The body guy is back on my project, much to my relief. His helpers got the frame scuffed up and it hopefully will get painted today. It is not going to be a primo job, just getting the outside frame rails painted with some heavy duty stuff he has on hand.

His helper got the cab taped up yesterday morning and the body guy got the base coat shot and a couple coats of clear. The last coat wrinkled a little so he has some repair work to do unfortunately.

Here's some pics, they aren't great cause where the cab is right now was very dark. (I couldn't find the light switches)

Where the gas tank filler was filled looks really good, can't tell it was there.

He has a fair amount of work to do to the hood and he still needs to do more work on the doors.

Sweet. I bet it looks even better once you find the light switch!!!

Looking good! Got the bullet hole patched also, I see.

LOL! The thought of the bullet hole story, and with that nice silver paint, I think this truck should now be known as "The Silver Bullet" from now on, hehee!

I'm not much for naming projects - kind of reminds me too much of Stacy with the TV show Trucks, but I was thinking "Late Night Affair" would be pretty fitting because my wife accused my truck as being my mistress a while back because I always go to the barn at night to work on it. Think she was hinting that I spend too much time in the barn - but of course I ignored that! The Silver Bullet, hmmm, that is pretty fitting too.

Man I love that color! I can't believe you stole my idea. :D
Can't wait to see it all together.

That is an awesome color. Are going with trim or are leaving it all smooth?

No trim, it is a flatbed truck and I think flatbed trucks look better without trim.

Looking great! You will be getting excited when you start putting it back together.

Looks great so far!

Looks great!!! It won't be long now and you will be cruising down the road!! WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

this is the paint job i want a rough version or all black (origional) i havent decided yet

Your truck's looking awsome, I'll have to update my website again after you get it finished. :cool:

Very nice:D I love that color.

Sweet! Looking good! All most there, can't wait to see her all back together!

If we call his truck the Silver Bullitt, does that mean we call him The Lone Ranger....?

Meathead, I saw a truck several years ago with a similar paint scheme like you posted above, except it was red on top, with a black/gray combo graphic (not very wide), and silver bottom. It really looked good, but I didn't have a camera with me, and have never seen it again.

lookin good. i think dubie will agree with you 100% on the flatbed with no trim idea.:D

By gawd, you can call me the Lone Ranger, but only if I get to wear the mask!

Stopped by today, not much done yesterday, supposed to be painting the frame and miscelanous black parts today. Lots to do, but getting there. Thanks for all the compliments. Hope to have more pics tomorrow.

isn't a flat bed a work truck? That thing is too perdy to be a work truck :) That is looking good. That silver will really set off the lines (or what ever they are refered to on these trucks)
