I like the orange and have always wanted an orange truck, but that looks like its gonna turn out awesome. I saw an 81-87 fleetside that looked very close to that color yesterday. Keep posting the pics.

Nice color. You going with any designs on it? Or just the silver?

**N2TRUX** · 06-22-2005, 11:52 PM

I liked the orange too, but that silver is going to be really nice. Keep the pics coming....

Its the end of an era.....lol Looks like a cool color. When do you think you'll be done? Doing the painting yourself?

Looks good i can see your reflection in it and it probably isn't buffed out yet!

Kool color.

Grande Rojo · 06-25-2005, 08:55 PM

Thanks guys!!
I do not have a time frame of when I will finish. I work a fulltime job plus do side automotive jobs........ so I work on it when I can. I would like to have it done by next spring though for "Power Tour 2006"

No designs........just silver
No its not buffed out yet!!
Yes, I do all my own paint/body/frame/engine/interior myself.

and I will keep the pictures coming.

Once again thanks!!!!!!!

Looking real good. For some reason, I thought that you sold the orange stepside and was building another one.? I do have a question. Are you painting the truck in pieces and then reassemblying and shooting it again? Or ???

Anyway, should hold its' own on the Power Tour.

Orange is cool but silver is the better. I want mine to be silver again someday. Cant wait to see it finished...corn
