Re: 67c10 build
I wish I had some cool pictures and tons of updates but not a lot has been going on. I attempted to re build a set of wing windows that wound up in the garbage can. Even bought a set of re pops after hearing positive reviews on counter part wing windows. They look really nice but the fit was poor and at the top I could between the vertical bar and the weather stripping. So I should of saved myself the stress and money and contacted roger. He's got some ready but only in tinted class so I'm gonna hold out a few weeks till he gets a clear set built. Any day now I should be taking my truck to paint. I'm still leaning more towards green and white. I've got it envisioned in my head and it looks pretty sweet. I'm definitely going for an old man truck that's bagged. I'm going somewhere crazy with my build though... It's gonna have an in cab tank, heater box and even the original am radio! Oh yeah I said it.

Re: 67c10 build
Isn't light green a hard sell?
I've never been a used car salesman but it just seems like to me it would be hard to sell a light green anything, car, truck, van, motorcycle, boat, heck a golf cart for that matter ![]() I know you have no intention of selling it but life happens and if something were to happen won't it be super hard to get someone to pay top dollar for a light green truck? Just sayin, don't shoot the messenger. ![]() |

Re: 67c10 build
I think the green would be sharp, especially with the white and the trim.

Re: 67c10 build
I really like the concept of the green from the Kia. I think a white top would make it pop. But you do it how you want! I used a factory paint scheme for my truck off a Nissan. I just added 3 coats of clear coat! Every one loves it!

Re: 67c10 build
Either or on the tubs. Just make sure it was at least primered to cover bare medal. Some would say put them on and paint for less risk of scratching when assembled. Honestly it's almost impossible to not scratch your paint in final assembly. Once mine is complete, that's my first stop! Back to my painter for touch up work! I recommend complete mock fitting my wood bed, lining and drilling all holes before paint.

Re: 67c10 build
So I got the call! Truck went to paint today. Awhile back we agreed it'd be done first of the year so I hope he sticks to his word. If there is one thing a lot of us can agree on is painters are flakey. Here's us dropping it off in my friends F$#!. It's actually pretty dang nice 24x14 billets and 38s

Re: 67c10 build
Thanks Robbie, glad you like it so far hope it doesn't disappoint when it's done. I agree I'm not a fan of painted bumpers the chrome ones just look too damn good

Re: 67c10 build
And here she is in her new home. I'll update with progress pics as often and the progress is happening. The painter who is painting my truck is pretty well know high end painted. He's really big into semis and has been in magazines for his paint work. Also has done a lot of work for the picket brothers, the ones from the cmt show "trick my truck". Sure doesn't look so hot with the loaner rollers

Re: 67c10 build
Congrats on sending her off to paint Scott, can't wait to see it how it turns out. Did you nail down a color combo yet.

Re: 67c10 build
Sweet build! These trucks look great with stock appearance and lowered with custom rims. It will be cool to see this come out of the paint booth!

Re: 67c10 build
Thanks, I wish I could say that I did. It's to the point I'm trying to get something to work with the interior colors I like. My two favorite interior colors are red and saddle and there's not a ton of exterior colors that go with it. I better do some serious thinking fast

![]() If you do a saddle interior then you can add greens and blues to the combo of colors along with the ones above. Isn't it fun trying to pick a color ![]()

Re: 67c10 build
Very nice build. Your truck looks awesome, this will be sweet when done.
Red interior will be very sexy and different with that green and white plus with the exterior red emblems and brakes. Great job. |

Re: 67c10 build
Cool to see the truck going to paint even if you can't decide on a color
![]() I think the two-tone with the light green will look great. The above truck is gorgeous. I'm a fan of painted bumpers but not with any type of shiny trim.
