got the ole truck buffed a while back, decided not to paint it for a year or two. the paint turned out to be in near perfect shape. i just painted the rails and firewall and went through the brakes, i'll try to get pics in a day or two. now my cuz is fixin to start on the motor. it shouldn't be to much longer before the green machine gets on the road again. cant wait

Re: my 69' cst
Looks too nice to paint to me as well. What size tires are you running on that they look good?

Re: my 69' cst
I agree, leave it the way it is. The only thing I see that looks a little off is that the front looks like it sits higher than the rear. It could be the driveway or ? , but other than that, that is one pretty truck!

Re: my 69' cst

Re: my 69' cst
I love red too, but that puppy would stay just the color is if it were mine.
Off topic: but I love your stomping grounds up there in N. Georgia. We visit Helen and Dahnolaga at least a couple of times a year. I have real good friend in Gainesville. We love it up there, and my wife and I have seriously considering moving up there maybe after the kiddies get grown!

Re: my 69' cst
Very sharp truck. I always like a truck/blazer better with the molding. How much work are you doing to the motor?

Looks great.
Kinda in the nose bleed seats though. Nah, If I had a truck that clean I would leave it alone... |
