I do. spray can red 57. I think my buddy that i bought it from actually stopped by one day. His name is Chris.

I live off of hwy 16. it looks like you have a really cool set up where you are at.

its just about the end of may and the memorial day weekend is upon us. always a good time to give a shout out to all those who served or are serving our country. thanks! thanks a lot!

the weather has been very agreeable this may and some good progress was made on red. after putting color on the firewall i realized that the brown dash wouldn't work. too many color elements trying to work together and the brown dash, while it looked good with the gold or fawn interior, it didn't work with the red. and then throw in the black roof and stripe... the brown had to go.

so i repainted the dash and all the dash pieces a metallic or sable black. to accent the fawn metallic interior color i dumped a bunch of gold flake in the sable black.

today i rolled red out of the garage to color sand the cab. it was a good opportunity to take some pics of assembly. maybe the best part of the project is when you get to attach painted and detailed parts together. probably goes back to childhood days spent building models, but there's something satisfying about the assembly phase.

Love your build up so far. I have a lot of friends that are going to school in fayetteville. I may just have to come visit them and do some tailgating next football season just to check out your truck. Hope it's ready!

come on down!!! i tell you what. nobody tailgate parties like hog fans. food, drink and big screens. most people don't even have tickets to the game, just there for the party. hey notnurodz... love your model A. you must be a hamber.

also i appreciate the comments from you guys on this truck... its part of what makes me want to go back out in the garage after i'm tired and through for the day.

What an incredible and impressive level of detail everywhere in your build. I particularly like the new dash finish. I know it seems like a simple thing, but I'm really inspired by the wheels as well. I've always had a passion for stock steel wheels, and bright gloss paint with new lugs is just as impressive as expensive custom rims in my book.

I noticed in one of your posts the you called bodywork bodyfun. It is tedious and sometimes boring ,sometimes mind numbing but you sir are doing a very fine job on the build

[clemdaddy]

ok, any who would like to are invited to come by our place the evening of june 23rd. thats a saturday night and we're having a gearhead pot-luck party. my wife kim and i will provide a bbq brisket and some ribs and some beer and soft drinks. we do this nearly every june and its a blast. if you drive in and want to stay over, we have space for a few and camping for many. i will post an invite in the next day or so but to those following this build thread... i hope you can make it.

come and meet us, we're not that weird, well, maybe a little.

rsvp... let us know...

[LEEVON]

I wish I had stopped by your place when we still lived in Pea Ridge. I have driven by on a couple of occassions in the past and would have stopped if somebody was there for sure! I like your creations, especially the yellow 'burb. Can't wait to see how this one looks all together, even though I have an idea it will be REAL NICE CLARK (in my Cousin Eddy voice).

Me and the wife will be there..... hopefully I will drive the 65

[clemdaddy]

here's the invite...

if you can make it, we hope you will join us, there should be a good turnout of old cars and trucks.

[narx66gmc]

of course you do this now... now that i've got almost everything apart for the rear notch... well, it looks like itll all go back together so i can make it. i wont be there until around 7 or 730 so im sure all the really fun stuff will be done (or just getting started...)

Count me in, probly just myself though. I'll have the wife whip up some cookies or brownies or something.

Is it cool to tell some other folks that aren't on this board?

[clemdaddy]

yeah, bring 'em. should be plenty of chow.

[Narxoleptic Customs]

put me down for 2, my pops is gonna come too.

[likaroc13]

will be snapping pics of whatever drives in and whoevers driving it. never can tell about these things. had a tv show batmobile once and a pink 59 caddy convert with flamethrowers, you just never know.

thanks for the feedback fellas. especially from dinos63, your builds are outragious and your comments are really appreciated.

well, hogball starts early in sept. and theres still lots to do so i'm headed back to the paintshop.

[clemdaddy]

friday i got the truck in paint and shot another coat on the cab, this one turned out smooth and should take very little buffing. then this morning at the crack of dawn i laid down a buttermilk coat of dupont 99 black. very very smooth...
this is only the 2nd truck to get painted in this place and every time i fire up the fans and wash down the room the jobs get a little cleaner. and as i get used to the conditions, the paint lays down a little nicer. i'm 60 something now and maybe in my 80's i will be able to do a decent paint job...

anyway, it's something to set our sights on.

doors ( in the foreground) got the treatment too but will mount and get a photo after hanging them.
