I am not looking forward to stripping the bed

Its almost time to start cutting it in but I do not know what color to paint it. I think I am going to walk a few new car dealerhips and see what jumps out at me

jamon8 · 08-21-2006, 09:40 AM

I was going to get aftermarket fenders but I figured I need the metal work experience and bought a body hammer set

Its not as hard as i thought

jamon8 · 09-21-2006, 12:11 PM

heres the front suspention from a 84 diesel HD truck on my shizzel with poly al the way around

jamon8 · 09-21-2006, 12:14 PM

here is the motor and the under the header plug wires

I love the clean look

jamon8 · 09-21-2006, 12:15 PM

the hood looks so much better in primer

Joe67 · 09-21-2006, 12:42 PM

Looks like a great project. I wish I was at that stage

That looks like one of those foam air filter elements, I would strongly consider replacing that with safer, paper version

71SWBChevy · 09-21-2006, 01:40 PM

that is looking pretty good man, I would second getting a better air filter that thing is a fire waiting to happen!

matthufham · 09-21-2006, 04:13 PM

looks like it's coming together nicely!

shifty · 09-21-2006, 04:15 PM

You truck is same color and looks just like mine except it's a fleetside.

Link is in my signature.

You keeping it that color?

67ChevyRedneck · 09-21-2006, 04:19 PM

I actually hate putting things back together, it's always much more fun taking them apart

(I'm always missing parts when I put stuff back together

)

Project is looking great!

Do you have a 82 to early 90's Trans Am, or just the hood?

cypress TX 72 · 09-21-2006, 04:31 PM

The stage your at is the best!! Your still not worried about scratching anything, and you can still make radical changes without masive costs involved.

jamon8 · 09-21-2006, 11:27 PM

91 firebird- my first love

I am changing the color- candy apple with a red to green flip flop pearl

I have made all the changes except a 72 C-10 diff and 3/4 ton HD springs in the rear

Boy ain't that the truth!!

Project looks good. It is nice to be assembling in staead of disassembly. I think I am actually on the assembly part of mine. I seem to forgot at times though and start taking things apart again

jamon8 · 09-27-2006, 10:41 AM

this is my first paint job

jamon8 · 09-27-2006, 10:44 AM

jamon8 · 09-27-2006, 10:45 AM

more

the dash was the most important

shifty · 09-27-2006, 12:07 PM

I guess that answered my question.

Paint job looks as good, if not better, than the one my previous owner put on mine

**LockDoc** · 09-27-2006, 01:48 PM

Isn't the inside of the roof FUN!!

I was in some positions I didn't know I was still capable of.
