Forgot to mention a little tid bit of info on my paint. I asked Bobbie, my bodyman/painter, how much paint was on the truck. He says 5 coats of base color. Then he said 3 gallons of clear. Said he lost count on clear coats, just kept spraying till 3 gallons were gone haha. Turned out way better than I imagined, especially the bed floor

**67cheby** · 12-01-2010, 06:10 PM

your truck looks awesome! great wheel choice! I have the same sizes on my blazer. But they're the grey, w/ polished lip, not chrome. NICE!

BP68 · 12-01-2010, 08:38 PM

Prob be a while before I can afford them. Chrome ones run over 1,000 not including tires from what I have seen. And I still need bumpers, grille moldings, interior, etc.

For now I am trying to find some Sport silverado 15" wheels to run with some BFG Radial TA's 275/60R15

that will look sweet

68 TT · 12-02-2010, 05:12 PM

Looks great.

I have sold several projects while in the process of being painted for various reasons. Every one I wish I had been able to finish. Congrats on sticking with it.

Keep up the good work.

1stchevy · 12-02-2010, 06:17 PM

Congrats! your truck is looking great.

BP68 · 12-18-2010, 10:09 PM

Well, truck finally come home last weekend. Drove wife and son around town a couple minutes today. Still need to wire up fans, and converter lockup, get bumpers and slowly work on interior, and a bunch of other little odds and ends. Main thing is she is steetable/driveable now. That definately helps the motivation. Anyway here are a few pics.

very nice!!!

DUTCHMAN · 01-30-2011, 07:01 AM

Good job BP68.

Is it no problem that you cleaned/shaved (don't know how to say it sorry) the Hood To Windshield Cowl Panel?

Perhaps you can place a picture now it's painted.

Body man had no problem filling it. I havent driven much to see how much air still gets to kick panel vents. I am going to run something like classic auto air or old air products heat/a/c eventually. I will try to get you some pics of the painted cowl in the next day or two.

67chevy1series · 02-02-2011, 12:38 AM

its nice to have the kids help clean!

cable666guy · 02-02-2011, 01:29 PM

That came out beautifully!!

BP68 · 04-19-2011, 04:45 PM

Been a while since I posted. Mostly been busy and saving up for parts. Snagged a set of 454 SS truck wheels last weekend, ordering front and rear bumpers this week. Savin up for tires now (plan to run 275/60r15 all around).

Will try to post up some pic soon, once I get her cleaned up.

70_BBC · 04-19-2011, 05:38 PM

I love your truck. I can't wait to get home so I can get back to work on mine. One Day I hope to have it look as good as your's, very impressive truck.
