Man what a great build, i love how you're not just painting the crap out of everything, but disassembling things and painting separately and reassembling, it really takes the project to a new level.

chad64chevy · 07-04-2013, 04:51 PM

I agree with the above comment!! it really takes it to the next level, really nice work you have been doin, all the small things will add up when you have to put this part with that and so on!! keep it up

A little extra cleaning, a little extra painting makes a huge amount of difference, attention to detail is well worth the effort X4..Vernski

Like I have said before, I don't plan on doing a second round on this build.
I want it to be right the first time around!

Thanks Chad!
I have been trying to move forward on the build, but work has been busier that ever before...It is getting tough to find any spare time right now!

Thanks Vernski,
As you already know many of these items on these trucks were never painted from the factory!
I want this thing to have a very long life-span from here on out!
As long as it is in my hands, it will be pampered by me, but run hard from time-to-time!

I have gotten some additional paint work done on the body, but haven't taken any pics yet!
Maybe tomorrow I can get some pics, and post them!

Thanks for all of the comments guys!

...I am having problems posting my photos as I have in the past.
Has something changed on the forum?
Is anyone else having a problem? It says that the filesize is too large & if I resize in photoshop the pic becomes a small thumbnail by the time it meet requirements...

Ta2Don · 07-21-2013, 10:42 AM

The Forum is changing Servers... Alan posted this on Murphy's build...Check this link for info...

Thanks for the info!
Do you have any idea how long that the migration will take?
I'm kinda bummed right now...

LT1 Burb · 07-21-2013, 11:06 AM

Very nice work, I just read and drooled at all 16 pages. Mad skills, very nice work.

Ta2Don · 07-21-2013, 08:55 PM

Sure don't, but I did a free account on Imageshack and have posted pix, super easy to do. PM me if you have any ?s

I'm having a heck of a time trying to post pics.
I created an account on imageshack, but can't seem to figure out how to insert them into my post...frustrated!
I'll try again this evening, when I have more patience...

When you go to "My Images" in Imageshack, select an image and there should be a set of small icons at the upper right of the image. Place cursor over top button and it should pop up "Share"
Copy the link and paste to your post. Any ?s PM me and I can walk u thru it...

I may, or may not be figuring this photo posting thing out.
but just in case, what you are about to see may be disturbing by some, and was a very rare opportunity to have been caught on film, but what you are about to see are factory installed rocker panels that have never been subjected to RUST!

I hope that you can all endure this image. I know, it is quite breathtaking!

Sorry I got this far, but don't know how to make the images smaller!
Here are some additional pics showing my progress!...I think that I am an idiot!!!...But big pics are better than no pics!
I'll get this sorted out!

Ta2Don · 08-03-2013, 07:51 PM

That color is Sweet!!!

The entire inside & roof will be painted in this same color, I never thought that it would look this good, and it is laying-out so flat and really looks amazing!
