Re: "One really slow build" thread
I cleaned one of my wheels really good yesterday & painted it shiny black, with a hubcap I bead-blasted & painted some new green color

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Ok, so here are some questions
Should I run a roll pan or bumper up front, should I run the hub caps, white lines, red lines, or blackwall, if no hubcaps then do I run spider caps or chrome lug nuts ??? I decided to run my 5" monster tach, so that'll be going in soon & I'm also changing the carb out |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Thats looks sweet
But I don't think I'll run mine on the collumn, I'll either run it under the dash (which I don't like cuz it's harder to see) or somewhere up higher |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Here's an update

Played around with mounting my tach & got pics of my tail lights I smoked the other day ( did it with black spray paint, but dunno if they'll let enough light through to be safe in the day time) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, & I bombed one of my bedsides to see how I liked it being one color again ![]() |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
The tach looks good there !!! I couldn't make myself drill a hole in my perfect dash pad!!! I think you should flat your hole truck and put flames on it the color of those dog dishes !! That thing would look killer !!!!!!! Keep up the good work . Be carefull with those dark taillights I tried it and almost got rear ended twice !! Later, Bob

Re: "One really slow build" thread
I don't think Ima run the tails that dark with out putting L.E.D.'s behind em
I don't have a dash pad on my truck, so I just used one of the holes that the dash pad screws to, but if I decide to leave it there I'll have to attach it more securely I really don't like flat black, I'm more of a satin black kinda guy But that would look pretty sweet |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
satin black works !! It would look killer with green flames to match the wheels!!!!

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Nice look with the steel wheels. The 80's model behind your truck looks pretty slick too.

Re: "One really slow build" thread
You could buy a set of clear tail lights and dye them. Careful though, some "black" dyes can turn out brownish when they don't reach their full saturation. You might want to try a dark grey. You can pick up clothes dye at almost any drug store and cook em up in a big pot. Just don't boil them :P

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Well my black truck is going on hold for a while, so that i can get some other things on the road
The reason for this being that, once I have something else to drive I plan to build my 67 the way I really want it I have a lot of ideas brewing & plan to keep a few of them secret, so if some of the future updates are somewhat vague then you'll know why But I will tell you that I do plan to cut it down to SWB & put a short fleet on it, lay frame, & build a bad ass engine ![]() The theme is Sinister which means that it will very Sano !!! (extremely smooth / clean) The truck will be low, but not stupid low (thats what my bug is for... lol) very smooth, black, fast, loud, & very very custom but suttle Last edited by Spray-Bomb; 10-08-2007 at 06:43 PM. |

"That boy aint right." That is from Hank Hill talking about his son Bobbby on the T.V. show King of of Hill. Nice build BTW.
