Thanks guys, just one more thing to check off the list. Hoping its nice out this weekend, I want to roll her outside and get some good pics in the sunlight in the driveway

Thanks Jason, now I need to build a filler piece for it. I'll probably wait until I take the bed apart cause it will be easier to work with. Working around the suspension is a pain

Bennett68C10 · 04-03-2014, 07:50 PM

Started to pick up some paint for the truck, decided to go with PPG. Figured if I spend the money on quality materials then it should lay down and cover better for me. Since I'm a newby painter I think this is important.

I went back and forth on Viper red and Torch red. I then saw a new Corvette in Torch sitting in the sunlight and fell in love with the color. So I ordered a gallon of DBC Deltron 2000 which reduces to two gallons of paint. I'll probably pick up another quart of it so I have 2.5 gallons of paint incase I have some mistakes.

In this pic the bed is off the ground more than the cab, but the body lines match perfectly. My OCD isn't ok with this.

Are all these trucks like that when laying frame?

67ctener · 04-03-2014, 09:06 PM

Excited to see some paint on that. Can't go wrong with red

sduckworth13 · 04-04-2014, 12:42 PM

Your truck looks great Keith, body lines look like they line up perfect.

sduckworth13 · 04-04-2014, 01:42 PM

Keith, here is a NOS tailgate.

Thanks Scott it's not perfect but close enough for me

thanks for the link too, unfortunately that's out of my price range right now. I need something half that price. If I can't find a nice original in my price range, I'll be ordering a repop.

sduckworth13 · 04-04-2014, 04:30 PM

It's out of mine too, he reduced the price down from $1200.00

SeTx67 · 04-05-2014, 01:51 PM

Looking awesome. I really like the rear angle shot

mx289 · 04-05-2014, 03:02 PM

I just keep starring at it !

The way it sits is perfect.

Thanks man I really appreciate that, if my truck turns out half as nice as Mikes I'll be happy. Can't wait to see how your build progresses.

Low68 · 04-06-2014, 06:13 PM

Your truck looks great! Those purple shutters on the neighbor's house, not so much.

Gipper01 · 04-06-2014, 07:16 PM

Bennett, your ride looks awesome. I can only imagine what it will look like when the paint in on.

resto newbie · 04-06-2014, 07:19 PM

Am I crazy? I love it with no paint. That red will look sick!
