Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
It has been snowing and cold here so not much progress on the truck. The snow and cold finally left but it's raining now. I did get the cab masked off and ready to shoot finap coat of primer. Maybe next week I can spray.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Can't wait to see some color on it. Looks like you have the same problem I do. NO INSULATION. I feel for you on your weather. We have broken into the 70's here in Central TX. Look forward to your update and pray for some good weather.

Yes it was. They had a good turn out. I think the proceeds went to the hearing impaired.

Looks like you will have to turn your head or your computer. I hate that when it happens

Thanks Modges. It is argent silver. I am a rookie when it comes to painting so my skills are lacking Lol. My paint supplier helped me pick the color. This silver is a little easier to spray. The metallics lay down easier.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
What? No water on the floor?
We always wet down the floor the several hours prior to settle any dust already in the air, and keep more from becoming airborne....
