Cameron 1137 · 04-04-2012, 01:08 PM

On saturday, the bed came off of the truck. it was a lot easier (lighter) than thought it was going to be.

It went down to the body shop sunday morning.

Cameron 1137 · 04-04-2012, 01:10 PM

Yes it is!

driver door is on and the finish work has begun

Cameron 1137 · 05-09-2012, 09:07 PM

Haven't posted andy updates in a while but there has been a lot of stuff done. Here are the bodywork and primer updates

Cameron 1137 · 05-09-2012, 09:09 PM

The color I'm going with is Hot Rod Flatz' Hugger orange

Cameron 1137 · 05-09-2012, 09:17 PM

SHE HAS PAINT!!!

Well, the first two coats, but its color! this type of paint is better lay down all at once so they are only putting down the 1st 2 coats then when all of the parts are ready for paint, they will all be shot at the same time so they all match. anyway, I'm also going with white on the roof and below the bottom trim. here are some pics from yesterday

in the booth:

Out

fenders

others

and a comparison from new(on the jamb) to old (on the dash)

its pretty darn close!

all in all i am extremely happy so far!

NewType72 · 05-09-2012, 10:03 PM

whew buddy the hugger orange really pops on those curves all that metal work takes me back to last year with my dad bustin his butt to fix all the stock metal let's just say she's a bondo bucket ;D

1968gm · 05-09-2012, 10:18 PM

nice work...

**oldman3** · 05-09-2012, 11:31 PM

Hey Cam, real happy for you dude, truck looks great. Can't wait to see the rest.....Jim

The bed should be going for some work in a couple weeks, in the meantime ill get the truck home and start working on some other things!

Tinkermc · 05-10-2012, 09:12 PM

Cam this must be very expensive having someone else do the body and paint work. You do have 1 rad looking truck

99-LS1-SS · 06-04-2012, 08:27 PM

How does the flat orange look in the light?
