I went back down to the Nashville Auto Diesel College today and took several pics of my truck today. Tell me how you guys think it looks.

5150 · 01-18-2005, 06:56 PM

and more.....

stllookn · 01-18-2005, 06:57 PM

That looks like pretty shoddy work to me. I think you had better let them practice on my truck for awhile before they finish yours...PLEASE! Send directions on where to drop off my truck...LOL! Looks sweet!

5150 · 01-18-2005, 06:58 PM

and last one....

for real!!! i live 45 miles from there. is there any way i can get a deal on a paint job? i`ll even buy materials. lookin good.

5150 · 01-18-2005, 07:34 PM

Hey 1970 CST Short Wide-I'll be selling the wheel pretty soon since my interior is black and gray.

oldschooloutlaw · 01-18-2005, 08:37 PM

looks great is that the base coat ?
I wish I was that far along with my project (but then I would have to get aother one)

5150 · 01-18-2005, 08:46 PM

Yeah that's just the base. They were about to wet sand it when I left.

67ChevyC10Stepside · 01-18-2005, 09:03 PM

yeah i was hoping that was the base....is real stripy (spelling)

5150 · 01-18-2005, 09:06 PM

He said that after they laid down the base he made the kids fix all the blemishes. They still have to lay down the GHOST FLAMES!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

5150 · 01-18-2005, 09:51 PM

They also forgot to patch that square hole in the driver's door. I'm going to put 6x9's in the doors so the passenger side door is fine.

**Canadian694x4** · 01-18-2005, 10:05 PM

Looking sweet!

**Yukon Jack** · 01-19-2005, 12:20 PM

Looks nice and straight from the pics.

*72CSTC5* · 01-19-2005, 12:28 PM

Yes, just make sure that they get out all of the streaks in the basecoat. It will look very mottled when it gets out in the sun. Spraying silver is very tricky in that there is very little pigment in the paint. Mostly metallics. Hopefully the teacher will give them helpful hints to eliminate that problem. Over reducing and cross hatching usually helps but you have to be careful not to have overspray from the basecoat all over the truck having dry spots all over. Very tricky color.

5150 · 01-19-2005, 12:42 PM

Thanks Yukon Jack

The teacher is a friend of mine and he'll make sure they do it right. That's why they've had it since July!!!!!! He keeps finding things that they should be doing better.

I know one thing-There is not a pin hole of rust on that thing.

Blue Beard · 01-19-2005, 12:46 PM

Looks good so far.

So is this a project for them, and what's the deal on your end (if you don't mind my asking).

I know they use to do them for free at on of the local schools as training and grades. But that's pretty much gone.

GreyHoundSteve · 01-19-2005, 12:51 PM

Looking good. My truck is being painted silver right now too and it is a tricky color. Looks like they are doing good work.

5150 · 01-19-2005, 01:00 PM

The head Collision and Repair Professor lives in my town. I asked some people around town about some bodywork and they recommended me to him. The deal is I can't be in a hurry(JULY!). For someone with absolutely NO PATIENCE that's hard. I just have to pay for materials.

*72CSTC5* · 01-19-2005, 01:04 PM

That's the best kind of job in the bodyshop business. Just make sure they are not wasing materials too, but I guess if the body and paint is pro-bono than you can't complain.

5150 · 01-19-2005, 01:08 PM

Yeah I can't be complaining too much. I guess I forgot to say the best part of it with everybody teasing me about getting their trucks in there. In August they went to a new policy of nothing older than 9 years. So I got grandfathered in. Talk about lucky.

**smitty62** · 01-19-2005, 01:14 PM

Lookin' good!! Ya can't beat those stepsides!

chevyal71 · 01-19-2005, 01:29 PM

You say (July) like it's a bad thing! I wish mine went that quick(almost two years on my blazer) but I can't seem to focus on one project at a time.
That silver with ghost flames will look awesome! Nice Job.

Blue Beard · 01-19-2005, 01:38 PM

I don't think they should limit the age....look at it as a challange.
