Ready for Paint! FINALLY! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After 8 full weeks in paint purgatory, Ole Greenie is finally ready for paint. Here are a few pictures of the progress...

So whatcha think. I sure would like to have it all done and reassembled by 2 April and to tinker on it till the first show on 16 April. Wish it would have been done by tonight's Cruise-In at Sno-Cap in North Augusta, but it wasn't to be.

As soon as she comes back home, I'll shoot a couple more of the final product. Ya'll take care.

Lookin good and I hope you get r done for the show. It's an exiting time I'm sure. I'm really looking forward to when mine's painted. I was planning to haul it to the body guy today but it's raining so that got postponed.

What color you going with?

I wish I could say that I was doing the work, but I'm not. I found a good local shop...that still knows how to do things right. I'm going with the original color which is the Dark Olive Metallic. I don't know what the code is but they figured it out at the shop.

Yes it is exciting. It has been 8 weeks now and I'm itchin' to get her back. the shop owner has a 66 Chevy Truck that he did a frame-off so he is

excited about it too.

I like the way you did the tail pipes, I just fabbed up the same thing with 2010 camaro tips, thought I was being original!

Can't wait to see some progress.

Congrats cannot wait to see some color on her..

I know watcha mean about wishing you were doing it yourself.I intended to paint mine and got a lot of the body work "close" but found I don't have the patience to get it perfect. I found a guy who rebuilds muscle cars- mostly Chevelles- and like his work, so I'm gonna let him do it.

Post pics when it's painted.
