Re: Got some work done today
Yes, semigloss black on the core support. It was painted for my 72 2wd Blazer but parts are being borrowed for the truck. The red is corvette torch red varaint #2 lighter than prime. That is not going to be the color of the truck though. I just chose a PPG Vibrance custom color Friday to paint the truck two tone orange pearl and white pearl. I am just using these fenders since they were rust free and I will drill and add the moldings back to them.

Re: Got some work done today
Yeah, I will post some pics of the orange pearl color tomorrow night when I get home. I will cut in the inside of the fender that I have at work for the little woman at home so she can approve the color, I know, I dont want to hear it.....

Re: Got some work done today
That is coming I need to talk to you in more detail Keith if that is okay? I will email you outside of here for lengthy list of what I need. I am ready I think. Just wanted to get some of the body done first. I knew someone was going to hammer me on the color approval, may as well been you!

Re: Got some work done today
I can't believe I have missed this post this long. It's good to see your getting some work done on the truck. The core support came out nice. The fenders look slick too.
I can't believe your going to paint it pearl orange rather than bright red. Oh wait, I forgot that wasn't your decision....

Re: Got some work done today
Getting some more work done on the truck. Told the girl about the board meet and just mentioned it in passing about maybe wanting to go, then she said, "what are you going to go in?" Smart butt. So here I go again working on the driver. I picked up some virgin rust free sheet metal on Monday and still wasn't really feeling good from being sick so just started on it today. I also cleaned out the inside of my Blazer. Check out that rust free floor!!

Re: Got some work done today
More work that is going on with this project. Trying to get everything done on the passenger side first and then turn the truck around to do the drivers side. Sux working in tight confines of your garage. Blazer is next to the truck so no room.

Re: Got some work done today
It definitely helps and these projects still cost a lot of money. Plus I know how some of you all have to deal with the bodyshops taking so long to get your stuff done. If I could make good money doing this I would give up my bodyshop manager job.

Re: Got some work done today
I saw the pics of your truck yesterday on another post and my jaw dropped. That is gorgeous. You are right that is a killer 71. The truck I have is a louisiana truck.

Re: Got some work done today
North Louisiana, It came from Huggercst and then got to STP 67-72 and then I bought it from him. Still had the metal warranty card and all.

Re: Got some work done today
It's originally from the Monroe area. I bought it from an elderly gentleman that bought it new, and he hated to see it go. You're making some good progress on it, I can't wait to see it finished.
Killer71- I love your truck, blue & white is one of my favorites too. I'll have to get over there & look at it sometime. Mine will be very similar, but orange & white. I'm just east of Ruston.
