Here we have it guys! Its starting to change back into a truck... Only a year ago this thing was bone stock, in primer!

Here is just a little flashback

mjensen · 12-25-2010, 07:48 PM

That looks great! I love that color. It's very close to the orange I had on my sandrail (I named it Genralee

)

bigguy69 · 12-25-2010, 11:45 PM

The faster this thing makes progress, the happier I get! So it should be moving rather quickly!

nibs · 12-30-2010, 10:53 PM

Well, got the windows installed today!

VA72C10 · 12-31-2010, 01:15 AM

Looks good. What are your plans for the triangles?

nibs · 12-31-2010, 01:26 AM

I think I will have them powdercoated... Im not sure what color quite yet. Maybe like a flat black to match the interior, or maybe a wrinkle black?

nibs · 12-31-2010, 01:30 AM

OR I could "brush" them and put a clear coat over it and it would match the other metal going on the truck

butternut1972 · 12-31-2010, 11:14 AM

Looks great. your almost there.

Ipaintgrt · 12-31-2010, 04:15 PM

Great Build!!!!! Did you make the one piece window kit yourself? or buy a Kit. The guys over at the 48-59 forum have a how to on it and I havent seen anyone from the 67-72 forum try it on thier truck. The Kits are pretty spendy and some dont seem to work very well.
I also didn't hear anything about what color your truck is. Tangelo?

nibs · 01-01-2011, 02:24 AM

The windows were a kit. I got it from ECE, and I must say their customer service is amazing!

Nope on the color! Still waitin on the right guess!

Ipaintgrt · 01-01-2011, 06:06 AM

I guess if I looked at the first post in this thread I would see that you call the color Light Creamsicle Orange. Not sure it thats the color or not?

nibs · 01-01-2011, 08:02 AM

Well that was the initial idea that I had, but I fell in love with this color when I saw it in person. alright Ill give in... Its Dupont Hot Hues Velocity Orange. It was originally made for Air Ride Technologies '69 Camaro.
see!

northern 85 · 01-01-2011, 08:23 AM

I think your truck looks even better than the camaro! Love the stance of the truck great job

nibs · 01-01-2011, 08:44 AM

Thanks man! I really appreciate it all!!! Im really anxious to get the front clip back on so I can see what kind of rake it has all aired out... Im thinking the rear sits a little lower, but thats cool, because I want to put some tubular control arms on the front to bring it down a little more and clean up the look under the truck.

northern 85 · 01-01-2011, 08:47 AM

I love rake!

nibs · 01-01-2011, 10:10 AM

I do too, just as long as it isnt reverse rake! lol

nibs · 01-05-2011, 01:30 AM

Got the widow rubbers glued un and the door handles in!

67chevy1series · 01-05-2011, 02:39 AM

wow nibs!!!!!!! that looks great !!!!!! nothing like getting it all sealed up

nibs · 01-05-2011, 05:30 AM

yes indeed! Now I just gotta hope he doesnt kick it outside!

I cant imagine he would with all the weather they are getting in Colo right now

Just for your information that is not a 69. Your truck is looking great!

67chevy1series · 01-05-2011, 07:54 PM

could be a 67 do to the grille but 68 did have the same grille but this one has no wing windows 67 does so my guess is modified 67 or 68
