Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Sorry guys should have specified, I was just asking about white grill or not. I already have the Torch Red paint that I'm going to be using. The red in the renderings are actually the same just different lighting. I really love N2billets old truck Lucy with the white grill but also love all the ones I've seen all Red. Decisions Decisions

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I like the white grill, I think it gives the front end a better look.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
My vote is all red.
The reason why is because if the grill is the only white part on the truck it feels disconnected and random. Now if you had a cowl induction hood and striped it then it would make sense. |

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Truck is looking awesome! Paint work sucks. Of all the things I have done on my truck over the years painting is the part I hated the most. It is, however, a great sense of accomplishment when you get it done and know how much work went into it. Keep up the great work!
Also, I vote for all red as well.

I'm going white grill inserts on mine but that's because mine is a base model with white bumpers and mirror. If my truck was a fleet it my goal would be nearly identical to the 1st rendering.

Thanks Tom, i probably still have a couple months to worry about before I'm ready to paint ![]() Quote:
![]() Believe me I love the all Red too but it seems like every 67-68 fleet I see is like that. Part of me would like to do something different from the crowd but in the end I'll probably just end up spraying it solid Red to keep it simple.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
My view on the red or white grille is all red will give you that hot rod look and running a white grille will give you that more original classic truck look. I vote white grille.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith, I think which ever way you go with the grille will look good. Do what ever makes you happy, that's what matters in the end.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Well I was in the patina trucks thread and saw where n2billet posted a couple of pics of Lucy. I'm sure you've seen it but the white grill looks great on that truck.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Pretty crafty. I did the same exact thing in a friends shop then ended up selling my project. Gotta be getting excited. My truck is just sitting, havent touched it in months
