Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
Exactly, the orange needs refreshing and the black im switching from flat to gloss. I went reverse of the late 60s Camaros which they went with orange with black stripes. But I am far from a competent painter so I am having my cousin do the work. All he does is Muscle, classic and antique cars. I am hoping to have it done in the next week. I will fix the rough parts and tape off, and he will paint for just cost. I know my rims are 1980 ish but I wanted a solid look.

My beauty after I came back from Afghanistan and got her back from the shop. My mechanic was quite happy for me to toss cash into her as he loves working on classics. Anyways, So happy the wife loves driving her just as much as I do

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
That is my next project. I am sadly across country from her for about 6 more months. Wife got accepted into a college program that she really wanted in Oregon and I decided to Geo-Bachelor here in NC. She drives her for me every sunday and sends me pictures(gotta love that!). I need to decide what to do with the bed too actually. Had some decent rust that I sanded up and sprayed with rust inhibiting primer for now until I decide to either paint or to go with a bed liner....

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
well after not having a pickup for a few months the wifes decided we needed one lol....... This one might become my sons IF and I MEAN IF he works on her lol. If not she is mine . Was surfing craiglists for a couple of weeks with 1 k budget authorized by the wifey lol. Wel stumbled across this ole girl in a guys driveway he was asking 800$ he said it ran and drove but had some issues.... Well went over and took a look at the ole girl fired her up after 1 pump of the carb... NICE!! Nice lil chevy 350 off in her with a th350 trans... Brand spankin new demon carb perched off on top lol..... did a walk around and as I thought no way in heck could drive it home without brake lights turn signals etc...... Well after thinking about it texted the guy offering him 500 which after discussion with the wife and the son (who is interested or so he says in the truck)... He promptly replied back no I cant sell it for that much. oh ok! go on about life and start looking at other rigs in the chevy/gmc family around the 1k down price range..... NExt day working at my side nursing job and I get a call from a number I don't recognize?? Well answer the phone and the lady on the other end says 500$ come n git her!!! I want her outta my yard my husband has too many toys and I told him it goes or else!!!!. Got very excited at this this point called the wife and told her the truck was a go!
Get down there the next day met with the guys wife got the title handed her 500$ and she asked how I was going to get her home. I told her well since the lights don't work and me being safety minded told her I would have it towed........ Welp she had it towed for free by her AAA auto service told em I was doing some work on the truck for them lol. 125 bucks saved lol Here she is as my sons calls her TITAN because of the seafoam green paint job factory.. Sean

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
I'm debating the hubs issue on my truck on the repaint that's coming up. I kinda like it with 'em off. If I do go back to them, I may do something simple like chrome bullets or something.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
Sometimes, it's easier to just go ahead and tell each time you post a picture. Alot of people don't read, so will still ask, though.
