Nice! not usually a fan of silver, but man that is an awesome color!

cerjio · 12-24-2010, 02:04 PM

Im really rethinking my final color on mine that Silver is awesome !

Very nice truck you have there. How long did it take to go from body working the metal to paint.

roughedup72 · 12-24-2010, 05:42 PM

I have had this truck for about 4 years I think and the body work just started. My brother has done almost all of the body work his self and he has done all the paint. He's been working on it off and on for 2 months. The off and on part is because he had other jobs he had to work on while trying to fit mine in.

Billhilly · 12-24-2010, 07:21 PM

Looking really sharp. Love the colour.

pat 70/71 · 12-24-2010, 07:24 PM

In the past, I never cared to much for silver but your truck will look great when she is complete. like it because it a kind of low pro paint job very nice! cheers, Pat

roughedup72 · 12-25-2010, 08:35 PM

Pat70/71. You may have just given me a new name for this project. "Project low pro."
This was supposed to be a comoplete job with new paint on all the sheetmetal but as its turning out the funds are running low very quick. So we are having to cut corners on some of the surfaces that wouldn't be seen.

As time goes on I will continue to finish it the way I would like and when I pull the engine to put my vortec build in it I will freshen up the firewall and inner wheel wells. But for right now I have to focus on gettting the color sprayed on and then getting the interior done.

Nice!!! hey from N.C.

roughedup72 · 01-07-2011, 08:52 PM

Its back together so I drove it to work today and got a few pics. I will be posting more when I get the carpet and dash pad in. But for now its driveable. And is loud without carpet.

VA72C10 · 01-07-2011, 09:29 PM

Hey from N.C.good looking truck, it came along ways & u are drivin down the road now, u did alot of work to it.Keep on Truckin''

Spoof · 01-09-2011, 02:25 AM

What a dramatic difference, hard to believe it's the same truck. I wouldn't normally think silver would be suitable choice...but that truck looks really good. A ballsy choice that paid off I'd say.

63chevyll · 01-09-2011, 02:35 AM

wow, looks like you all did a good job. I have always liked silver.

Pop's C-10 · 01-09-2011, 02:48 AM
