Had to take every thing on that little truck apart to paint it, lol. Not gonna do that crap again, lol. But it would look good. It's close enough though.

Re: My Project: 1968 Model

I just put clear lenses all the way around my truck. I plan to get a set of the LED tail lights being sold on this sight as soon as I can.

Thanks, lol... I love trucks, of any sort really.


Ok... long anticipated pics... FINALLY PAINTED TODAY!!! Cab still is newspapered off, so you can't see much of the white, but Jerry was nice enough to pull some back so we could see the white and blue combo . It is soooooo much nicer in person, lol. Well... here are fresh, sticky, hot paint pics .









It will sit in our garage for a couple weeks just to let the paint fully dry, then it's parts puttin on time . Will get pics as soon as I get it out in the sun... . Coming home TOMORROW!

You should have painted it orange. Just kidding, the blue looks awesome, post some more pics once it's unmasked and outside.

Orange is my fave color, and I had a chance to paint it any color I want, but blue was original so I just picked a darker shade. And you are getting that wish.

New pics... it's like getting a new truck that you have around 200 mods for it already, lol. You have to try stuff on , lol. Got the vette rallies on, front bumper, and so far, that's really it... just tried on the other trim and bed wood, lol.









Tried to get that blue pearl effect...:
