Wow, that looks great, I think maybe you should have been painting it yourself to start with from the looks of it.

**aerotruk63** · 08-10-2016, 08:57 PM

Not a red person but that red is right on the money. Great looking truck.

jhrusk · 08-11-2016, 12:59 PM

Thanks guys for the comments. DKO I don't know why he would not finish it,especially since I took it there with a lot of work completed on it. I realize there is not a lot of money to be made when painting an old car due to labor cost but if your paying 10 or 15 thousand dollars for a paint job u would think it would be easy to find a good shop. Maybe it is me I don't know. Flips72 man this thing has been a project. I told folks if I didn't die and kept my health I was going to finish so maybe I'll run into u in PF in the spring.aerotruk flips 72 is the reason my truck is this color.

Love the way the engine bay looks!

Did you eliminate the indent where the stock battery location is?

jhrusk · 02-09-2017, 02:10 PM

Yes Aggie I eliminated it but continued with the valley so it doesn't look weird

TJ's Chevy · 02-09-2017, 04:59 PM

Looks fantastic! Exact plan I have with my 66....super clean engine bay. All motor.

**clemdaddy** · 02-10-2017, 08:27 AM

Looks drop dead gorgeous...

Awesome! That's the same way I had thought of doing mine at one time.

**lolife99** · 02-10-2017, 08:43 AM

BEAUTIFUL truck!
I love everything you have done.

nxtruck · 02-10-2017, 08:53 AM

Your truck is looking awesome, Jay!! I can't wait to see what it looks like when you're finished with it!

rpone605 · 02-10-2017, 10:28 AM

Amazing build and great attention to detail!

One question. What did you use on the underside of the cab? Is it undercoating?

R.S.S. · 02-10-2017, 10:50 AM

That engine bay is clean! Awesome work!

jhrusk · 02-10-2017, 01:55 PM
