It's called being at the right place at the right time. I was in the paint supply store that's in same building as my shop, which the man I rent my shop from own's the paint store. I was in there poor mouthing Joey that runs the counter and the PPG rep over heard us talking and out of the blue he said hell I'll give you the paint for your personal car. Little did he know the base coat paint I wanted was right at 750 dollars a gallon, then plus the clear. I think this paint has 28 parts pearl, that's why it is so high.

Looks great Ronnie. Why did you mask off the fire wall?

65Custom · 06-26-2011, 10:22 PM

Cab is Looking great!!!

198plus · 06-26-2011, 10:45 PM

Thanks I thought it turned out nice. The firewall had already had epoxy and black color put on it, I'm just going to scuff it up before paint.

I originally painted the firewall and bottom of cab chassis black, but decided to do all the same color as cab, so it needed a little more work.

daverod · 06-29-2011, 11:24 PM

There's a light at the end of the tunnel?

I guess I still have work to do . Trucks lookin goood.

65Custom · 06-30-2011, 12:15 PM

It is looking smooth, and I like it when the firewall is the same color as the rest of the cab.

Alan's Classic · 06-30-2011, 06:35 PM

Lookin' good Ronnie.

When are ya gonna pick up your parts at my work? Billy brought the bumper over. I'm not in the front of the shop any more they moved me to the lower shop. They are putting a quick lane where I was. I have tons more room now.

The bumper is safe while I'm there, but there are contractors in and out at times upgrading the building.

198plus · 06-30-2011, 08:51 PM

I just hope there's paint at end of the tunnel

......Thanks

great work, cant wait to see paint on it.

gofastbobby · 07-04-2011, 03:53 AM

WOW. I just spent the better part of a full day reading through this entire thread, and feel that because of that I have earned the right to make a couple points...

1. Ronnie, you change your mind... ALOT.

2. Alan, you do amazing work and have an incredible attention to detail.

3. Ronnie, you have put together an awesome body shop. I admire the drive you have to find solutions to meeting your workmanship standards, even if that means buying a bodyshop in the process.

Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

shortbed70 · 07-04-2011, 07:46 PM

I would call that slick! Looks good Ronnie can't wait to see some paint on it.
