Why can't I just leave well enough alone??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67ChevyRedneck · 09-09-2007, 09:14 PM

The pictures speak for themselves. I guess I didn't have enough work to do this weekend?

Been wanting to do this for a while now. Not perfect, spray can job with clear, but good enough 'till I get a house & garage and tear her back down...

Sorry the pics suck, I was pulling tape as the sun was going down.

I'm going to seperate the two colors with a dark blue pinstripe.

Looks good!

samwise68 · 09-09-2007, 10:09 PM

i like it!

i really dig the white cab, though i'm more partial to the white going onto the door pillars and such, i'll take what i can get.

pretty stellar rattlecan job my friend.

Now I got to get use to seeing your ride this way!

It does look very good! You'll have to do some good shots of the pin stripes. I am still debating on putting the cab moldling on mine, or some sort of stripe.

67ChevyRedneck · 09-09-2007, 10:16 PM

By pinstriping I mean the autoparts store roll thingy

I wish I was doing something cool.

I wanted to do the whole cab roof, but that would have been A LOT more taping/sanding (like 10 times as much).

The biggest reason I did this was that I messed up the roof last year. I had only one coat of paint on the top of the truck and cut through it with a buffer

Lessons learned. Anyway, the top of my roof looked like crap and this was the easiest fix

Next up is bedliner (wal-mart stuff).

I figure I'll get another 2 -3 years of enjoyment out of the truck as-is, but I REALLY want to do a frame off. I just love workin on the old girl.

Looks good! It's always hard to leave things alone for me too.

samwise68 · 09-09-2007, 10:22 PM

your truck has been one of my favorites on here, especially with such an in depth and complete build thread.

and the pin stripe at the color break is a good idea. i like that, and will most likely use it on mine.

oh, and thanks to your sig., i've had a new cell phone ring tone. haha.

67ChevyRedneck · 09-09-2007, 10:35 PM

I need to update that build thread, I've done a ton of crap to the truck since I last updated it.

I did a bunch of mechanical stuff recently too. New balancer, new starter (soon to have heat shield) new cap, rotor, coil, control module, new 4 core radiator, and new tranny cooler.

I'm pooped

72BlckButy · 09-09-2007, 10:36 PM

Looks real good!

Honestly are we ever done?

Nope, I keep looking through magazines and parts catalogs for more things/ideas

How about a 2.5/4 drop?

Then I won't have to change the oil anymore, I won't fit under the truck

Brad · 09-09-2007, 11:27 PM

Looks great! I've been considering this very thing with my truck.

boundstaffpress · 09-10-2007, 09:31 AM

looks great!

ChevyC102007 · 09-10-2007, 10:05 AM

looks good
I need to do something with the roof of my truck as far as painting it. Its kinda wierd though the sheetmetal on the front (other than the rocker panels and a few small dents) is fine. The bed on the other hand has alot of rust chunks in it and dents and other crap.

Anyways, Ive asked myself the "Why cant I just leave well enough alone?" question a time or two myself but hey, your never done especially when your like me and just itching to do something with the truck.

67ChevyRedneck · 09-10-2007, 01:12 PM

Snapped a couple of pics after lunch.

Not perfect, but I like it.

Good enough for now.

Stoney · 09-10-2007, 01:18 PM

Looks Good....

71MUTT · 09-10-2007, 01:24 PM

I love the white roof too. Looks great.
