Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
How in the heck could he tell there was a gold stripe in there? I sure can't see it with those pics.

The script looks good!! It's hard to body work around it to make it look good... You lost me on the gold!! It will definitely be different.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
LOL....i cant believe i have killed this many with one little word....GOLD, remember guys , my goal here is different and CLASSY, wait until you see all of it come together and tie in with each other ! I am doing a light wood in the bed with just a slight goldish tint to it , The stripe in the trim will be pinstripe tape (easily removed if i dont like it) , the emblems on the fenders wont look good with red in them (in my opinion) so to tie them in with the trim they will be gold in the inset part also. The carpet will be gold and the interior will be bomber jacket looking leather inserted with a unique insert that has a hint of gold in it ! So no gold wheels and no tons of gold just a few accents ! ( i wont do anything i cant change, if i decide i dont like it)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I have to agree. On some of the trucks with gold rims the gold ties in, but imho with the billet and thit will clash. Maybe one of the body colors in the stripe if you don't want to leave the black.
Posted the above while you were responding. As others mentioned it's your truck to ruin...oh wait...I meant....j/k I haven't seen your paint in person or been able to hold up gold next to it...I think the leather will be great with your colors and warm up the interior....and some hints of gold can work nicely with leather so I guess I'll reserve judgement until seeing it (too late for that now right I LOVE the accuair sponsored truck with the gold rims w/ the gold in the trim....so I'm not against Gold in general....

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
You just said gold 7 times..... That was like running fingernails over a chalk board.
You havent done a single thing wrong to that truck.... so now I am trying to calm myself down and remember you are talented and know what you are doing.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
According to the color of the gold (brightness, reflectivity, flake) I do think it would look classy in moderation!! Kind of an old school kick to such a forward thinking project!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Mike, you're too nice you should tell us all to shove off and to forget about pics and updates until we comply! I'm really sorry I mentioned the "G" word...
Okay, maybe just one last bit of fun.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
get the piece mocked up tonight with the gold in it and take a bunch of closeup and far away pictures from different angles and flash on/off...that'll help you and help us make better educated comments

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
You should have your rims/steering wheel dipped in 24K to match
Whats the deal with the interior? (color wise)

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I like that option I actually was going to mention that color pending how the test looks and finding out you're using it on the frame makes it even better as a option...
Your exterior colors are on the "cool" pallet....as I said, the leather is going to "warm" up the interior...but that metallic charcoal gray would look good and be just a subtle difference to the black that's in the trim already...one of those subtle touches that's taking this truck from NICE to cover worthy
