Are you using a wood grain instrument panel also?

As it is coming together...."a touch of RED is so sweet"!!!

I have preserved the original glove box door, I had this door hanging around, just added the "GMC Custom" emblem. I was thinking it would look good with the wood grain band across the top of the bright red door panels. I think I will stay black on the instrument panel.....

How is this one coming along man? Love the red accents.

Painter broke his arm, plus he works in the oilfield...so I am on his time frame. I have everything in place for when he is done (front fenders, doors, hood, and cowl), he took every thing down to the metal. Thanks for checking up, I will post pics when available!!

STOCKISH · 09-26-2013, 06:41 PM

Sounds great! Look forward to more of this one!

SuperC10Tex · 02-08-2014, 07:02 PM

UPDATE!!! Painter flaked out on me....looking for new one. "Hugger & Texas Touch" have a new stable. Hope to have "Texas Touch" in some kind of order by late Spring, early Summer......

**lolife99** · 02-08-2014, 07:20 PM

Love your garage arrangement!

C10agent · 02-08-2014, 07:32 PM

Man that garage looks cool! Going to put that on the list for the new house.

**screaminchevypickup** · 02-08-2014, 08:00 PM

Nice addition..

big_al_71 · 02-08-2014, 08:34 PM

wow great work to what was a very nice truck already...I like the five car garage..

Zoomin · 02-08-2014, 09:36 PM

Brand new garage and already stuffed. Nice looking addition, for sure.

Bennett68C10 · 02-08-2014, 09:47 PM

Wow I love your garage setup

SuperC10Tex · 02-09-2014, 09:28 AM

Thanks Gents for the kind words!! You can park two f 250 supercrews in it and still not be close to the landing. New addition is 25' x 28' with 9' ceilings, 8' high garage door....lots of room to now get some work done.

Low Elco · 02-09-2014, 01:11 PM

Daaaaaaamnnnnn... Shop Envy! Ttrck looks good too!

70LonghornCST · 02-09-2014, 02:38 PM

Subscribed to both builds: Truck and House! I don't know which I get more excited about

SuperC10Tex · 04-22-2014, 07:47 PM

Well......got everything in epoxy, 2K primer, block sanded, and about to do the final sanding before shooting (practice panel first). Oh, paint booth is ready to go. Also got the cab back and and cap painted. Replaced the back window, "Day & Night"!!

Enjoy the pics, next update "Paint".......

mcbassin · 04-23-2014, 12:31 PM

I love the garage addition, dang you have my gears turning. Did you have to hire an architect to draw up plans or just a good framer? What size door/ opening did you put in?

Thank you Sir!! My ideas & plans, hired the right guy to build the dream.....

Low Elco · 04-23-2014, 12:44 PM

That's a damn nice dream. Plannin' and schemin' long term in the same direction. Been a dream of mine since I was 10 years old. Literally. Congrats!

Thank you Sir!! Must have a nice place to keep "The Ladies"!!!

My wife always tells people "I know where my husband is, and what other women he spends time with"!!! Great Wife!!!

SuperC10Tex · 05-14-2014, 10:42 PM

Well, today was the day! Temp = 72, no wind, no humidity....time to lay down some paint!

Started with the doors, first one was good until some fish eyes popped up, second door ran across some orange peel. Moved on to the fenders....went much better. Corrected the door, all is good. Couple of small runs, little trash, but all and all, it will work. Tomorrow, the hood!!!

Enjoy pics below.....

Low Elco · 05-15-2014, 08:52 AM

A 'lil wetsandin', it'll be aight. Lookin' good!

mcbassin · 05-15-2014, 09:15 AM

Very nice work on the paint. X2 what Low Elco said, little cut and buff no problem.
Sucks about the fisheyes! I had a few go arounds with those dam things. They suck! No matter how well you clean your panels the sneak up sometimes....

Z10 · 05-19-2014, 01:21 PM

Looks good SuperTex. We still need to get together for a cup of coffee.

Rob69rsss · 05-26-2014, 02:19 PM

Nice work. Will have to come by for a look.

SuperC10Tex · 06-02-2014, 05:42 PM

Got the Hood all "Cut", doors and fenders soon to come, then time for "buffing". Pics for you guys to enjoy!
