Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super coming apart to go back together
I haven't been on the build section in awhile. Both your truck, and Tony's short bed are beautiful. You should be proud and ready for all the compliments that you will no doubt be getting. I love to see someone's hard work pay off and the little setbacks fade to memory. Enjoy it and on to the next one.....

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super coming apart to go back together
Wow! You have done a great job Greg. Beautiful truck. Inspiration to get my butt moving on my truck again. Delayed parts have driven my motivation down. Wish you good times enjoying the truck.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super coming apart to go back together
well just when i thought i was done,i found out my truck had been accepted for the 49th Annual SpeedSport Car Show coming up in April in Moncton,New Brunswick,about an hour from here.i decided that as nice as the truck was,the underside of the hood looked awful so off it came for some TLC.I discovered after cleaning up the hood,it was black primer or whatever that black stuff is all over the truck under the paint,with some green overspray around the nose of the hood and along the rear brace.i tried to copy that factory finish by painting the whole hood black,then doing the green.i have it nicer than it was or probably should be,so i'll look at this for a couple of days before i decide to keep it or re-do it with more black or all black.i think i liked it before the green although there was green under there from factory?i sent a picture of the hood to the man who painted the truck,to say there was nobody from this neck of the woods going to put him out of business anytime soon.good thing i was a better truck driver than i am a painter?

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super coming apart to go back together
That will made a big difference in overall finish of the truck. Nice work indeed.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super coming apart to go back together
hi Brian,thanks.i was out looking at it this morning,don't know why?it looked the same last night.it is certainly cleaner and nicer looking that it was in it's dirty,original look,i'm just not sure i like it?i guess i'm not a good enough painter to make it look like an oversprayed finish.my painter guy could've done it but he's an hour and half away.i might not know much but i know trying to get the hood to him,without damaging the topside would've been mission impossible?i almost think i liked it better all black but that's not how it was built,so i'll let this dry and stare at it awhile longer and decide what to do next?take care.thanks again.Greg

You did a beautiful job sir. I for one am glad to see you put it to work on a daily basis. That's my plan as well.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super coming apart to go back together
The truck looks wonderful. Hope you show well in new Brunswick. These truck builds can be a trek to get completed but once completed they are worth the time. Congrats.
