Thanks Alan.
I'll be using a PPG "fixed and flat" clear so it shouldnt change much.It will calm down the metallic a little and give it a smooth,satin glow.

Im getting the air tank sprayed to see the final color before any panels are shot.

butternut1972 · 02-23-2010, 11:35 AM

Progress? The suspense is killin' me.

Inverter · 02-23-2010, 05:01 PM

Me too.
The wet weather and painters(calling in sick) have been pushing back the progress.I have been staying busy w/other stuff while Im waiting,so nothing to show at this time.
I should have some good stuff happening in March.

butternut1972 · 02-24-2010, 01:36 AM

Cool. I can't wait to see more pics.

I know what you mean about this weather. It's reaking havoc with more than the truck. They are talking about more rain/snow coming in this weekend.

Inverter · 03-01-2010, 11:43 PM

Small update.

New Bils for the rear,they are the same series as the fronts.

New Canadian smoothie.

This is what the exterior finish will look like.Picture it w/black painted wheel centers and polished lips.

They did a great job smoothing out the tank. You cant even see where the bung and end cap welds are.

Alan's Classic · 03-02-2010, 01:04 AM

Awesome attention to detail.

scotts62 · 03-02-2010, 09:00 AM

Looks awesome!!!

Are the tanks not cleared?

Look great. Did you pressure test the tank for air leaks after smoothing it out? It might leak after grinding those welds.

Inverter · 03-02-2010, 03:36 PM

Thanks yall.

Thank you,
I didnt test it after paint. The end welds were pretty flat n wide to begin with.There was alot of warpage around the weld that sunk in.A little grinding had to be done but mostely filler/blocking.The bungs were welded from in but had alot of tap shavings around them on the outside.If it leakes,Im jus gonna get an aluminum tank.I couldnt send this tank back so I tried to work w/it.

yea,it's a mess.I've been through enough shoddy and crooked shops that I feel spoiled by these guys. There are good shops out there,just not enough around these parts.

Cool,I like the hdwe in this kit.It looks like an easy install.

Strodder · 03-17-2010, 08:57 PM

Troy are you going to do any graphics on the metallic blue? It's going to be an awesome truck.

Inverter · 03-17-2010, 10:04 PM

Thanks Dennis.
No Graphics but I would like some pin striping.Something simple on the hood and also the rear skin.
Is pin striping considered a graphic ?

Strodder · 03-18-2010, 12:26 AM

No, I was thinking of flames, or something with a different color graphic's. Something like this.

VA72C10 · 03-18-2010, 01:40 AM

I think that sounds sweet. And goes with the look of the truck. Graphics can be really awesome on certain trucks but I think you have the perfect plan with that color and the black rims for yours....the only thought is if you do stripe it....maybe a black line next to the silver or on either side so that stands out against the blue...

Inverter · 03-18-2010, 07:52 PM

You nailed it! I was thinking that too. A black line w/a silver in the center,,or next to it. That would really tie it all together.
I need to research for local pin stripers.

butternut1972 · 04-04-2010, 01:15 AM

Alright I am going through withdrawls!! WHERE ARE THE PICS?? I alway's look foward to this build.

scotts62 · 04-04-2010, 10:10 AM
