Great job, looks new from the factory, any before pics?

Very nice. What color scheme are you going to go with?

vtblazer · 03-13-2008, 02:57 PM

Cool, before/during pics?

Line up with the door pretty well?

How are your torsion boxes?

I plan on painting it medium olive green, #504....Thanks for the kind words.

Don't know how doors line up yet but the torsion boxes were rock solid with on surface type rust.

I remember this one now, excellent tub to start with.

Great choice on the color.

That thing is coming right along... it's always nice to have a good body man working on your truck, and it looks like his is doing an excellent job bring that tub back to life.

vt.....where did you get that color and brand, I understand that it is not done anymore, it has to be custom mixed....

72BlckButy,
This is my brother's Blazer. I mentioned to you once that when your in Poplar Bluff, you need to look him up. Better than sitting in the Drury Inn!

Don,
Mr. Pennington can really work some magic. That has got to be some of the cleanest repairs I have EVER seen! Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I kind of like that color too

Had it matched up using base/clear products.

It's not 'exactly' the same, has alot more pop to it than the factory paint ever did.
If that makes any sense.

Close enough so that whoever saw it, remembered the color from the day though.
