well i been busting my ass on the bed the last days and week. I finely got something to show for it. I laid down some paint yay go me lol im stoked. this is not totally done but it will be in the next few days as I still have to do some minor body work on a few dings but for the most part its clean and sprayed. the center section of the inside of the bed will be gloss black. I wanted something different so here it is. also dont mind some of the wet primer still lol

Hey slick thanks alot. im very happy with the out come so far. alot of hard work but I think im getting there one day at a time. The Radiator/Grill fill in was actually really tough. took me a week to just get it fabricated. I had welded every piece there so thats what took so long. the curved area. is where the hardest was. I didnt have a roller for sheet metal so I cut some tubing in half and made it work just perfect and welded it to the sheet metal. I think if I had the roller it would have been so much easlier. now If you went along and made one with out the curve and just bent it into a 90 there it would work too and get away from all that hard work. but now that I did this I had to also mod it up on the underside to have a pull cable to open my hood.

Hey Thanks Slick. If it wasn't for you bro I wouldnt have done it I dont think. You got me stoked and asked me several times to start one and I am glad you did. Thanks alot again for the compliments as I am also glad to see yours is coming along again.

im still not to sure if i will keep this color or not. thats why i tested it inside the bed. because I got it cheap enough. I think I am darting for a more of a silver with a blue metalic. or pearl. but for temp this works for me for now. least everything is easy to work with now.

im really in a good mood the last few weeks since it seems everythings going together very well. I purchased me a Red Air Ride Tech Valve block off Ebay for really cheap and wanted to test it out so I plummed up my air ride last night and I am so stoked it worked great. and I will finish the install in a few days.

[Slick67]

This is gonna be on a cover of a magazine one day! Keep up the smooth work!

[Jeffs70]

Hey Slick, Thanks bro, LOL It would amaze me if it was. I will keep dreaming till it happens I guess. You know one of them things that would be awesome to have happen. but never would beleive it till it does. Yes I surely will keep up this work as I go I really enjoy it.

I just got my air ride working. I need to now run the wires to the cab for the switches. and I will be a happy camper.

[Jeffs70]

well I ordered my compressor for my air ride so Hope to get it soon and install it. cant wait.

I am in the process of doing more body work. I swear it never ends haha.

The pearl would look cool, to see the outcome of the pearl on our trucks check out my freinds thread. His name is Chris and he lives about 20 minutes from me. I went and looked at his project today and it is really clean. He already has his paint and it should be getting sprayed soon. Here is the link to his build. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=379333&page=9
Hope this helps you with color decisions!!
