notice you were running 6 lug wheels just wondering did you use adaptors or did you switch out for the proper rotor and if so what rotors did you use and did you use adaptors on the rear or switch out the axles?

I think the gold and white would be awesome and you don't see many 50th trucks that are really nice. I'm going to do my '68 stepside in Silver with red interior so I love that combo, as well.

Either way you have a sweet truck!

I can relate, when i was trying to decide on my new wheels I stressed about it for like four days In fact I even did a poll and rolled with it..

**lolife99** · 11-13-2011, 04:59 PM

Unless you plan to blow on all the exterior paint,... in the same day,... under the same conditions,... I would never paint a truck silver.
Too hard to panel paint or repair,... and get it the EXACT same color.

I had a door ding in my last silver vehicle.
The body shop wanted to paint the entire side of the truck.
They said I wouldn't be happy with the results,... unless they did.
I no longer own a silver vehicle.

Look at the doors on this "high end" camaro on ebay.
I'm sure they had a top notch shop do the paint work.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention !!

raull · 11-13-2011, 08:32 PM

good fregging eyes Keith , having that same car im always looking on ebay at them , i was looking at that car and i did not notice, and yes, its very noticeable , yes silver its hard to match , i had my trunk lid repainted and a small spider web resurface on the corner of my roof , done by two different guys ,they were able to blend the roof whitouth having to paint the whole quarter or roof and you can not tell , but you need to find somebody really good ,

casey g · 11-13-2011, 09:14 PM

I think it depends on the paint that you choose.

this was a factory color (not gm) so its easy to get more and its not a custom mix. it really laid down well.

**67cheby** · 11-13-2011, 09:17 PM

WOW...that thing is SICK !!

casey g · 11-13-2011, 09:24 PM

Ya it really is. I'm getting the info on the paint for you just incase you like it that much.

If you go on our facebook page you can see the latest car. Was at sema in the Dynomax booth.

Wow, I hope you take that offer! Kenny is the man, he turns out some nice rides (and has a bad a** boat)!!!

BTW, this isn't because I'm biased toward blue/white at all but when I saw that rendering it was like "whoa, hadn't thought of that" and I think blue/white looks killer...

Trust you gut......It's got you this far......

Second guessing and trying to change it to what you think you like today will never let you finish. Stick to your plan and you will be driving it before you know it.

Great job so far.

**67cheby** · 11-13-2011, 10:49 PM

thanks, i appreciate that ! my gut and wallet sometimes dont go together !! LOL

raull · 11-13-2011, 10:54 PM

the GREAT !!!! thing about this site mike is the support,pictures, posts and ideas that all members quickly respond to when one is in need to do or make a decision , in my opinion, paint color followed by wheels are the biggest to choose , you are the one whos going to drive it and look at every day , so choose wisely what !!YOU!! like , good luck

**67cheby** · 11-13-2011, 10:55 PM
