the only thing i dont like at the top one is the upsweep line between the orange and the white near the grille , if it was me i would sweep down from the upper corner of the grille and getting the sweep about mirror the curve of the bonnet to about the center of the front wheel

@eric:bahahaha! funny guy!
Whatyaknow, i got a better thing in mind i got calle dinto work, so i didnt finish a drawing, but i figured to keep you guys at bay, i threw this up on paint right quick, basically what im going for, im leaning towards the charcoal more...

Yes sir! I think I like that alot. GM put a nice Gray on the 2010 Sierra 1500 called Storm Gray. (Might be the same as the Cyber Gray on the Vette, but not sure.) It is a nice rich gray with some blues in it. Would compliment the bright blue real well. I can get you a code at work tomorrow if you are interested.

yes sir! its just what i wanted! something simple, yet a little on the flashy side! and yes! id love to have the code! i have no idea what grey to use on this, as i never was really into the color and never looked at them in the books, i saw a gmc today though that color and it is amazing!

PM sent.

Yeah I with you Funk. I like the gray lower part as well.

[CHEESE]

I like the new look a ton better!! Imo, the new split of the two colors fits well! The new black of the dodge chargers would look sik! It has tons of metal flop in it and would bring out the green and compliment the blue! It was the color used on the bottom section of colby elliots red & black c-10! The mopar paint code is pxr and it is called brilliant black crystal! Check into this color!!

id have to give a no, and a yes, been super bust with school 8-3 and work 4-11 that i havent had time to do much else besides work on the truck (which is a good thing) and my el camino is ready to spray so i have been busting a** on the truck to get as much done because spraying the elcamino will pull me off a couple days, blocking the truck the first time i found TONS of small things we missed, which is commn when you start off with what i did, but its alot straighter now, and has been blocked and primed again! i did look at the color and i love it! im either using it or a HOK orion silver on bottom, but we'll see, got a few pics for yal as well..

Lookin smooth!!

[Driveway Dreams]

As Borat would have said about your progress..."vedy nice!" As far as gray vs Orion Silver, I think the Gray fits better. The Orion Silver is just too light. I think it is going the "other way" from what you started with.

[texasfunk]

[texasfunk]

also got this today, after the other deal fell through, i just quit looking to trade the 89 off, well i went to buy a full backglass for my 87 from this guy, and he had this in the driveway, said if i knew someone wanting to buy a truck, i said id look around, i was interested in finding one, but had to cash so i was just trying to see what came along, well he said, i'll trade you that straight for this, i thought he was joking, that was yesterday, today, i have a 82 with a 400sb, 350, new exhaust, and over $1000 of new interior! the entire enterior is 2 months old, motor and trans have around 50k, its a solid tuck and a great driver, so NOW i have my "stock" squarebody the 20's arent staying, i have the rallies off my 87 to go on it, the 20's wer eon the 89 and i didnt want to get rid of them so we swapped wheels off, i think the rallies will set it off..
