Re: razorback red... buildup
its just about the end of may and the memorial day weekend is upon us. always a good time to give a shout out to all those who served or are serving our country. thanks! thanks a lot!
the weather has been very agreeable this may and some good progress was made on red. after putting color on the firewall i realized that the brown dash wouldn't work. too many color elements trying to work together and the brown dash, while it looked good with the gold or fawn interior, it didn't work with the red. and then throw in the black roof and stripe... the brown had to go. so i repainted the dash and all the dash pieces a metallic or sable black. to accent the fawn metallic interior color i dumped a bunch of gold flake in the sable black. |

Re: razorback red... buildup
today i rolled red out of the garage to color sand the cab. it was a good opportunity to take some pics of assembly. maybe the best part of the project is when you get to attach painted and detailed parts together. probably goes back to childhood days spent building models, but there's something satisfying about the assembly phase.

Re: razorback red... buildup
Love your build up so far. I have a lot of friends that are going to school in fayetteville. I may just have to come visit them and do some tailgating next football season just to check out your truck. Hope it's ready!

Re: razorback red... buildup
What an incredible and impressive level of detail everywhere in your build. I particularly like the new dash finish. I know it seems like a simple thing, but I'm really inspired by the wheels as well. I've always had a passion for stock steel wheels, and bright gloss paint with new lugs is just as impressive as expensive custom rims in my book.

Re: razorback red... buildup
I noticed in one of your posts the you called bodywork bodyfun. It is tedious and sometimes boring ,sometimes mind numbing but you sir are doing a very fine job on the build

Re: razorback red... buildup
I wish I had stopped by your place when we still lived in Pea Ridge. I have driven by on a couple of occassions in the past and would have stopped if somebody was there for sure! I like your creations, especially the yellow 'burb. Can't wait to see how this one looks all together, even though I have an idea it will be REAL NICE CLARK (in my Cousin Eddy voice).

Re: razorback red... buildup
of course you do this now... now that i've got almost everything apart for the rear notch... well, it looks like itll all go back together so i can make it. i wont be there until around 7 or 730 so im sure all the really fun stuff will be done (or just getting started...)
Count me in, probly just myself though. I'll have the wife whip up some cookies or brownies or something. Is it cool to tell some other folks that aren't on this board?

Re: razorback red... buildup
friday i got the truck in paint and shot another coat on the cab, this one turned out smooth and should take very little buffing. then this morning at the crack of dawn i laid down a buttermilk coat of dupont 99 black. very very smooth...
this is only the 2nd truck to get painted in this place and every time i fire up the fans and wash down the room the jobs get a little cleaner. and as i get used to the conditions, the paint lays down a little nicer. i'm 60 something now and maybe in my 80's i will be able to do a decent paint job... anyway, it's something to set our sights on. doors ( in the foreground) got the treatment too but will mount and get a photo after hanging them.
