Scored a side job today. Trade Work..

[hessian18]

So today my Boss comes up to me and says...come outside....


I come out to this huge crazy looking 4x4 THING...


LOL

The guy that paints our sand rails has a 4x4 chevy truck that he made into a custom extended cab with full size powered windows.......Pretty crazy looking... I will get some pictures in the next couple days...


Here is some of his paint on our sand car..





He wants a full roll cage built for his truck....In return he will Paint my entire truck.....He is a professional painter....He said it would be done right...

Im not going to do anything crazy like graphics or nothing...Just a solid color or maybe...I mean maybe a nice two tone.... Opinions ??

So I told him I would build him a sick roll cage....

Should be a fair trade...I have to do the cage on my own time too....

So it will take awhile....

End results will be worth it....

So now my interior is defiantly on hold.....LOL

AND when it comes time to paint I need to find another ride to work LMAO !!


SO now I need to pick a color and decide what Im going to do....

First....

Should I fix all my window seals before paint ? Or pull all the glass before he paints it.....And then re-install after he is done ?? Sounds the best LOL

Im assuming(saw some LOL) I have some rust in the lower passenger side of the front winshield area......It is now leaking worse since I looked under the rubber seal

I think for the time being im going to continue replacing the essentials....

I have already replaced the upper and lower ball joints...upper and lower bushings....Tie-rods and adjusters...Pitman arm, Idler arm and drag-link....

Next is the power steering box itself...Cab mount bushings....and leaf spring bushings.....

The List is getting HUGE...LOL and its still my daily driver Hahaha


Thanks for your opinions !!!

Oh yeah here is my truck...












Im also on the hunt for four more stock 15 inch wheels to have powder coated....Im having the center caps re-chromed probably next week...

Thanks again....This is my first big thread LOL

I'd probably go with a light metallic blue. It'll work well with whats already under the hood and interior.

Kinda like this car...

[westie 666]

I would pull all the windows and rubbers out and replace the windshield rubber and vent window rubber, other rubbers can be done later.

I like the look of your tailgate better then mine !!!

[C-10volvo]

I have no idea about the tailgate. I know people generally like your style better and you might find someone to trade ya. Here are all of the decent pictures i have of it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

it should have the letters bossed on the tailgate but youll also have 4 holes from the bolts in the brushed piece

Since he's a professional, I would take advantage of it and pull back everything I could (knowing it's a DD) and let him spray it.

Since this is kinda like a contract, do you know what he was thinking?

I like your truck the way it is, btw.

I would see about getting the windshield channel fixed. Otherwise it is going to cause more problems later.
