Yeah, really liking the Satin Black with the Red and Chrome now as I see it in the sun today. Put on the front Chrome bumper. Busy weekend putting it back together. Should have a few more pics by Sunday

.....Go Bucks & thanks for your service to our country ! My uncle was lost over Romania during WW2 in a B-24, never got to know him but I have his name to carry on the memory, Did you fly ?

Been living in Pembroke Pines since 1990 and in my current house since 1999 near Johnson Street and University Drive. The spray bomb was not that bad, very economical. As I stated earlier in this thread, I wanted a solid color but wanted to spend my dough on other things for the truck other than an expensive paint job. The Satin Black makes the Red and Chrome stand out allot. I'm very happy with it. As far as the military, I was proud to serve in the Air Force. No planes but worked with the Titan II Missile in California and Arkansas

67chevylongbed · 01-29-2011, 12:31 AM

That turned out really good, I love red wheels with satin black.

myoldchevytruck · 01-29-2011, 12:51 AM

Installed the front bumper earlier this afternoon

And really wanted a clean look on the fenders but these emblems came out really nice after buffing the chrome and painting the red bowtie and thin black line (Love Testor model paint)

67chevy1series · 01-29-2011, 01:10 AM

Ugh Rick.........I only have 1 grill hoop. I need another one. Whatcha got?

67chevy1series · 01-29-2011, 01:23 AM

i have one that is a white one painted a silver to imiatate chrome and a beat up chrome one it is in bad shape! lol check out my build thread and you might be able to see...

68Stepbed · 01-29-2011, 11:02 AM

Did it have aluminum headlight bezels before? Why did you paint them?

Here's something to consider to do to brighten the grill area up a bit.

timjt · 01-29-2011, 11:07 AM

I like the grill as is... I think the lights are enough 'light' for the grill of some trucks... just my 2 cents

It did but I swapped them out for the black ones (sold the aluminum ones). I have 1 grill hoop and I am looking for another. With only 2 screws holding it on, here's what it looks like.
