Re: painted frame... what do u think
Must be nice having a rust-free truck
 What's the cab and bed gonna be, more of that green + yellow? Saw a '70s Kenworth highway tractor done like that once, it was beautiful!

Re: painted frame... what do u think
Love the green. Bolt some seats on it and go.
It's almost a shame to put the clip & cab back on. Last edited by 78chev; 09-20-2007 at 12:45 AM. Reason: Omitted pertinent information |

Re: painted frame... what do u think
would've looked better if it were each piece painted individually, with the hardware, bushings, and plumbing left alone to break it up a little.

Re: painted frame... what do u think
I guess i am going to be the only "hater" on here --- black with silver, polished aluminum and stainless or chrome accents is hard to beat, no matter how many times its been done.
But its your truck not mine -- i am sure it will look great in the end when it is tied together appearance-wise though. looks like you did a lot of work filling in unnecessarry holes and such - that part is really nice Last edited by streetstar; 09-27-2007 at 03:35 PM. |
