Paint looks good!! I have seen some killer paint jobs come from peoples back yard. Some progress is always better then no progress.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-21-2014, 08:41 AM

Nice work!

Kim57 · 04-21-2014, 12:41 PM

Looks great Bam.

Man, I'm gone a day and you paint your truck.

Bam, that just looks flat FANTASTIC! I don't know WHY I should be surprised though. You just won't settle for anything less. Huge congratulations. The Belair dash and the filled interior seams just make the whole thing even more fantastic.

How far away is exterior paint? I can't imagine very long or you wouldn't have risked exposing that interior to dust and overspray, etc.

Best, and a happy belated Easter to you and all the "buddies" here, Dan

Thanks Dan,

I'm not that far away from painting the exterior but I want to mock up the fenders and doors one last time. But exterior is blocked out and ready for a sealer. As soon as I have some time I will do the final mock up. I think my head will explode once I'm able to lay some pain on the exterior I'm going to be some happy.lol

Absolutely love the color, I'll be doing a back yard job too but I'm nervous cause there isn't a lick of concrete..it's all dirt or should I say natural landscape. Well done Mr. Bam!!

Try large plywood and lay a tarp over them and park the truck on top of that. Get one of the huge HF canopy and make your walls with 6 mil plastic. They sell zippers that you can attach to the plastic for a door that you can close. They are call zipwalls. Get and exhaust fan to help pull the fumes out and put a cheap homedepot filter on one it. Hose the whole backyard down really good to keep the dust down and hopefully the plywood covered with a tarp will keep the area near the vehicle wet but not muddy.

I have a hobby air system if you don't have, can't afford, or don't want one please get a really good respirator because it contains dangerous chemical and fumes so be careful. Get one approved for auto paint. I only use my hobby air for big jobs. I wear a nice tight fitting respirator for small jobs. Such as when I shot the interior.

greystoke · 04-21-2014, 02:59 PM

Thanks for the tips Mr. Bam, as for dane bramage, I never worry about it

Just kidding.

OrrieG · 04-21-2014, 06:50 PM

Nice, looks good.

No problem buddy and did not mean to insinuate that you do not know whats up but others are reading this and I don't want anybody to do something that could cause them health issues.

Bam's gonna have to establish a 976 number to charge all us guys. Hey, that's not a bad idea. It'd probably pay for his truck!

VDOG · 04-22-2014, 12:46 PM

Lieutenant Bam once again you have killed it. I remember a few years ago when you got the color you were not sure. Not only are you sure now, but I see you getting a trophy at the Brothers Show.
Just make sure you include all of us in the photo for giving you support.

That seriously is a cool color bro.

Thanks man I really appreciate it , but you know me way better than that. The only award I care to win is being satisfied with the build. Getting a trophy is no reason to build a car in my opinion. Its the love of the hobby brotha, but you know that about me.

Oh yeah and you know I thank each and every member who fellow this thread, comments or not for the support. You guys keep me motivated.

Now run Forrest.

How are you man? I have not talked to you in a while and how is your build coming along?

Very true, I just meant when it does make it there, you will be in the running.
My build, well the green truck, still trying to figure out the cab situation.
Black truck is still on the drawing board.

Rods57 · 04-22-2014, 08:56 PM

Ok,all trouble making aside, I have a question for you, what type of paint do you use? I am looking at colors and paints as well and I like single stage for the color quality but two stage for the flakes you can add in plus if its two tone I can sand and clear to smooth. So whats your opinion on this stuff?

tune_1 · 04-22-2014, 05:38 PM

Love it, looking forward to you finishing it.

Dwight

Ya pictures never give the true colour. Looks mighty fine Bam!

Kabwe · 06-09-2014, 09:13 PM

BCToyBox came by and took some shots of the cab and his pics are better than mine (better camera also) and you can really see the color so I thought I would share.
I know the pics are basically the same ones I took but his camera is much better and you can really see what the color looks like in person.

As far as what I'm working on now. That would be final mock up and fixing all those dreaded panel gaps before painting the cab.lol But I must be honest have not be doing much because of all the car shows I've be going to. This is car show season here and I've been making the rounds.lol

sginphx · 06-09-2014, 09:45 PM

Looks amazing everytime I see it...no matter who's camera LOL. Enjoy the shows..I wish we had more here. Just too damn hot now! Can't wait till fall...
