Well I had a change in plans with the color of my truck, I'm going black with the prowler orange on the trim and interior. These pics are with three coats of DC 4000 clear with no buffing. Now we will wet sand and then add three mores coats of clear.........

65Custom · 12-09-2011, 05:33 PM

Wow that color for the stripe is going to pop

daverod · 12-10-2011, 11:15 AM

Very nice. Why not paint the bed with the front part on? I did mine the same way. Now I'm wondering how to put it together with out messing up the paint on the front bed bolts?

198plus · 12-10-2011, 11:52 AM

Thanks....It makes it easier to wet sand front and inside bed panels, plus I'm using stainless steel bolts in the front panel.

daverod · 12-10-2011, 04:10 PM

I guess I'll be using stainless too. I knew you had it all figured out.

Haven't been on the site for awhile, but noticed this photo as I was surfing your build.

That looks like Mt. Shasta and the train tracks that run thru the town of Weed California.

Man I wish I had those vehicles in my backyard....!

Looks good!!!

Alan's Classic · 12-18-2011, 08:45 PM

Here's some better pics of the clips for the side moulding. I couldn't find the big spring clip, but the small one is the same style.

C@rnut001 · 12-27-2011, 11:41 PM

Love your truck... do you have anymore progress on it? I think it was great that you have your own body shop now.... now if the body men can't do superb work, you can FIRE them....LOL...
anyway, keep up the great work and hire Alan to work for your shop....LOL

198plus · 12-27-2011, 11:55 PM

Thanks, I hope it will....

Thanks.......I wished Alan could come to my shop, I'd make him a partner. He would need a (heli copter) for the long trip.

Partner...................really

I was gonna call you today, I had a couple questions. I'll try to call tomorrow. I worked til 8:00 tonight and I'm pooped.

C@rnut001 · 12-28-2011, 12:10 AM

Heck, just tell him to move...I am sure that he could figure something out....LOL. It looks like your shop is putting out some great work.

And Alan as always does great work...it is refreshing to know that there are guys like you all who care about the quality of the work and don't just put out crap and charge guys....

anyway, keep up the great job and thanks for sharing your build with us!

allaboutchevelles · 12-28-2011, 12:22 AM

Yeah I love the detailed work you put into your build. I wish I was one state closer so I could bring you my bed to have it done to save me some time on mine.

Aw... just find a buddy or two and put it on a trailer and have a great road trip weekend.... good quality work in a body shop is hard to find.... shoot, most guys probably blow more money on booze in a weekend than it would cost to road trip your bed over to his shop....LOL...LOL....
