Wow Mike that looks amazing. I'm not a fan of red personally but that looks great. I'm pretty jealous right now.

May not be noticeable, but there for sure.

You can never get rid of all the particles. Just try to keep them to a minimum.

Agreed. A learned discipline for sure, and not easy.

mcbassin · 03-31-2014, 08:12 AM

From early last week:
Sanded and polished the inside of the doors:

It's all good Daniel. It was a long weekend.

mcbassin · 03-31-2014, 09:01 AM

Very long marathon weekend! It started Friday right after work. My son and I loaded up all the panels and headed to Kyle's (screaminchevypickup') shop. I want to thank Kyle for all the hospitality and help over the weekend! I owe him big time for going above and beyond to help me out. He showed me a bunch of pointers and even saved the day when some problems came up.
His booth is great! First off it was clean room clean and spotless when I showed up.
Lighting was great. Which is very important when painting. Saturday, painting day started at about 6:30 ended at 3:20 AM. Kyle was with me to the end helping me get it done.
I ended up doing two paint sessions. All the front panels and tailgate in the first session. Then the cab, cowl and bed.
THANKS!!!
On to the pictures.

jeh · 03-31-2014, 09:05 AM

Looks great Mike, now comes the nerve racking part of getting it all put back together and trying not to scratch it. I love the red, you're going to have a sweet truck

mcbassin · 03-31-2014, 09:04 AM

Loaded up and ready to head home:

Back in their home:

Mike your paint came out amazing! Your sheet metal looks laser straight. It's a nice milestone to get past.

Thanks Jason. It was a little nerve racking moving all the panels. I will take my time with assembly. As you know it's way easier to be careful than to fix chips and scratches.

Thanks Mark. all those 100s of hours doing bodywork paid off on the finished product. Now, if I could catch up to you....

Low Elco · 03-31-2014, 10:21 AM

Saw it last night on FB. Fantastic work, guys! The long weekend story sounds familiar. Sure feels good when you unload the trailer back at the house, don't it?

Looks terrific, can't wait for the next stage. This summer, we ride!
