What did you paint the bottom of the cab with ?

[aford78]

I just used rustoleum STOP rust gloss black. I don't know if it is the right paint to use, but it will never see snow so?

[aford78]

I got the cab fliped back down and welded in a patch for the old fuel tank hole. Just a couple things to do and she is ready for paint, now just what color to paint it........?

[aford78]

I got the fuel hole done and started organizing the barn for paint. Lots of cleaning to be done.

[aford78]

I havn't posted anything in a couple weeks cuz I have been finishing off my basement, Its almost done except for the drop ceiling. So I had time to work on the truck.

Started painting the primer on the truck today. here are some getting ready pics.

[aford78]

I haven't posted anything up in a while due to cold weather. I put the truck back together and getting it ready to be shipped out to the paint shop. I can't get my barn warm enough to paint it. Hopefully I will get it back soon.

When is it time to have a cold beer?

[aford78]

The beer in the barn is really cold right now!!!

[aford78]

Alright, I am really gettin the itch to get back out in the barn and start working on the truck again. The weather is warming up and the yard is dry enough to get the truck out of the barn and to the paint shop. Maybe withing the next couple weeks she will be painted@!@!@!@!

Hey from N.C. looking good,keep up the hard work, soon you will truckin'

[Ridin Dirty]

So.... what's going on?? It's warm out now. I am sure you have been working on it..... Getting ready for the little one instead?

[aford78]

I am lacking the funds for the paint at the moment. Soon she will be painted and put back together.

[aford78]

[aford78]

Well I have found a painter!!!! The truck has made the trip to his house for a couple days and then shipped back for me to do some more work. I thought it was ready but he didn't think so. So I am now sanding the inside of the cab more and I also changed the cab corners. I also did pretty cool trick with the tailgate. At least I think so. Let me know what ya think.

[mcbassin]

Wow, Haven't seen this thread in a while. good to know you are still working on it. Looks like some good body work to me.

[seba]

is beautiful to see your wife helping you

[aford78]

I am ready for some more filler primer, parts are all hanging in the barn. I will get some more pics up soon.

[aford78]

Well I finally got the body work done and painted. The bad thing is that it cost 3 times the amount we agreed on at the begining. Just needs a little more wet sanding and polishing in a few places. Sorry the pics are crappy my phone doesn't take the best pictures anymore with all the clear coat on it.

Beautiful!

Nothing better than fresh black paint!!!!

Very nice truck!!

[mcbassin]

Your paint turned out great! Sorry to hear about the hike in price from your painter. I guess he ran into some problems? Triple price is no good for anyone. Looking forward to more pics.

[Ridin Dirty]

Lookin good!

[Ridin Dirty]

Any pics of how it sits now?

[chevy88]

I like the picure from the rear showing the wide tires and low stance not to mention the beautiful black paint on it now . You'll be grinning down the road in this truck.
