i just come down from oklahoma city, take I35 to dallas, the i think it was I40 (or I45) from dallas to houston. you'll see plenty of pics on here during this process, but i'd be more than happy to meet up... carlos is truley one of the nicest and easiest people i've ever dealt with, he's been super accomodating and does some great work, best of all he loves the trucks just like all of us here! I HIGHLY recomend using carlos!!

Thanks for the kind words Luke and I feel the same about him. He was very easy to deal with for the few months leading up to this project. We talked a lot about what he was looking for and such. Since I do not do these builds for major profit, since I have a paying job, I get to pick and choose what trucks I want to do and select the customers as well. Luke fit the bill perfect for me and I believe me for him. I was thinking last night I may outpace his expected completion date, however. How many times have you all ever heard that from a body and paint man!!!

70c10 · 04-22-2007, 02:44 PM

You'll get some decent cash for those seats/console to add to the new parts fund!

Nothing better than a good referral. I've got a few things to figure out and get my motor installed then I will head south. I've been coming here for about a month and need to get off a$$ and work on truck. Truck not at house due to no garage and homeowners association will not allow so thinking about renting a place to work. Anywho. Yeah I wouldn't mind checking you out in Dallas if you got time on your way back.

Are your sinuses yellow yet!!

This build should go good, truck is very clean. I enjoy working on them when they are this nice. I am about ready to take my truck to the shop too. SOON!!!

cameeks · 04-24-2007, 01:49 AM

Well I called dibs on the seats.

Went to look at them today and took some pics of the truck while I was there.

*72CSTC5* · 04-26-2007, 09:34 PM

Pics of the drivers door and fender in primer. Will move to the other side of the truck next weekend and go from there.

randomhero472 · 04-26-2007, 09:57 PM

looking good...

OH... forgot to ask, have the 1-piece windows showed yet... they were suppose to be shipped 4/17?
edit:: just checked it online, still F'N backordered, i dont get it, they dont tell you backordered when you order it, its been over a month and still nothing, this is rediculous, put somthing on sale you dont have in stock

*72CSTC5* · 04-26-2007, 10:07 PM

Well the answer is no! Sorry to hear that. That's okay though, I do not need the windows just yet. I have had it covered under the awning where we originally parked it to keep it dry for you. I pull it in the shop to work on it and then back out again.

BB72CHEVKT · 04-26-2007, 10:13 PM

keep the pics coming!!!!!!!!

cameeks · 04-27-2007, 01:13 AM

You get the windows from Brothers? I got mine from there and they told me that it would be another week or so.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 04-27-2007, 04:53 AM

nice progress, always love the look of primer

randomhero472 · 04-27-2007, 01:26 PM

i havent really given any updates on my end since this started.. Got word yesterday all my new tri-plus/goodmark bed panels are in, and i've decided to go w/a wood bed floor instead of steel. i've got the newer style seats sold (going back to bench... but still need one, anyone in/around okc that has one let me know!!) the rear air-ride should be done in the next week-two, and i'll probably be making another trip down there to do the front air-ride before paint, besides that what you see in the pics is whats happen'n, we'll keep you updated

OLDIRON69 · 04-27-2007, 01:54 PM

Man, your guy dosen't mess around!

bigjimzlll · 05-06-2007, 07:50 PM

I had someone complain about this post....You're not supposed to sell or try to sell parts except on the parts board. If you want to sell the windows and seats please post them on the parts for sale board http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/forumdisplay.php?f=8

thank's
Jim

*72CSTC5* · 05-06-2007, 08:12 PM

Sorry about that BigJim but they were posted there a while back too in the parts board it won't happen again.

*72CSTC5* · 05-06-2007, 08:14 PM

On a lighter note, got some work on Luke's truck this weekend. Finished up the bodywork on the left pillar post where the fuel filler was welded shut and the left cab corner, and the rear cab panel. Will post pics tomorrow as my camera is in my truck and my truck is on loan!

Trucks looking good! Keep that camera in your pocket next time!

Dang, I know you spent some money on the fresh air system, several painters do not like them but I say for "cooler" fresh air blowing in your face, I am game!! Post pics when you are done on the paint.

*72CSTC5* · 05-07-2007, 03:56 PM

Okay pics as promised for my customer to update him as we are in a long distance relationship!

randomhero472 · 05-07-2007, 04:07 PM

looking good carlos

BB72CHEVKT · 05-07-2007, 06:11 PM

Looks good. Can't wait to see it done!

*72CSTC5* · 05-07-2007, 06:44 PM

She will definitely look good. I can not say what all will be done or color scheme of things per owner's request but she will definitely drop jaw when she rolls out. The owner and I were in talks last night about rolling her out for her debut for Goodguys in October in Dallas. I have always built 100,000.00 dollar rides for people under other shop names. The first few I am doing at a reduced price to put my calling card out there for some under my name only!!
