[Hurst28]

Looks good. You can load videos on photobucket. I may be interested in the shaved cowl panel. Can you PM me a picture?

[Slick67]

[77chris03]

That sucks. What happened to them? Did they get ripped off or thrown away "on accident"?

[77chris03]

here ya go....different angles in the sun....cant wait til its on the truck...there is very little clear in this. will have 2-3 coats white base 3 or 4 coats of the tinted clear (starfire pearl) 4 coats of the dbc500 blue pearl and then lots and lots of dcu 2021 clear. should look like blue glass.....opinions?

[heeroyue2002]

id let the dogs loose anywhere u store metal or parts. they always steal from me lol.

[Slick67]

It looks killer! I know you are like a kid at Christmas wanting to get that on the truck. Excellent color!

[77chris03]

Well the painter said he was gonna try to have it painted thus past weekend so im excited. Lol. U said ya know let's see where he's at on it. I went out there saturday morning around 9 am and he was like " what the hell are you doing out here?". I came to look at the cab. How many times are you gonna come look at it, its the same cab. As many times until you get it painted

Watched water won't boil. Give him a full week and then suprise him with a visit on Friday, if nothing has been done remember that small bones heal quickly.

Are you still doing the polished torque thrust wheels?

[77chris03]

ya i am...matter of fact theyve been on the chassis since i got them...you know it sucks polishing them all the time....

I was asking because between the rims, mirrors, and chrome bumpers I think chrome or polished grille trim will be best...

[Slick67]

I agree with VC. That would look best with the other chrome on the truck.

[77chris03]

I stopped by the upholstery shop to see the status of the interior pieces. Not done and its ok cause I'm not in a big hurry for them and he knows it. And plus I'd rather him tale his time. We had agreed on black all over but he said he wants to mix in the pearlwhite and blue with black. I'm ok with it as long as everything matches. I'm surprised to see what he comes up with. I will post pics when I get them.

BTW.....i was in bed. Got called into work....at least i can play around on here until i get tired....then go home....sleep in and then maybe just maybe ill come back in...it is friday in 5 mins....curious, what to do what to do ....

[77chris03]

oh.....i stopped by the painter today, one because he wouldnt answer his phone, i thought well maybe hes actually spraying.....NOT...lol but he did start to finish the body work on the inside of the cab. the front speaker mount is finally closed off and blocked and the front fenders and hood have been sprayed in epoxy again and wet sanded...now if he could only roll that cab into his booth and spray a little....we'd be set and everyone could see my cab on the frame...!!!!

[77chris03]

i think i have a decent one on another grille im not using...if its not to beat up and i can straighten it out... Jonathan said blue for the bowtie emblems...what you think?

That would look good, or factory color. I don't think that there are a lot of colors that will go better with the white.

[77chris03]

ya, but its blue in the sun.....lol
