Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Much appreciated buddy .. ! Yes, I have had to take it in sections, just taking my time to do the best I can with it.
That Photoshop is closer to 22" I think .. ![]()

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Most people say to get the chrome Coys, since the finish isn't that great on the polished version.
I still think it would look good with Torq Thrust II's or grey Coys.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
The more I wipe around on it, the more I'm thinking a polished wheel of some sort would fit the look of the truck .. but grey is still my personal favorite. Maybe Grey TT2's ?

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
grey Coys or a salt flat style wheel. Those two styles have been my personal favorites for these trucks. Grey TT2's would look good.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
After seeing this gem of a truck in person, I think a polished wheel will fit it best. The black paint is coming out very nicely. And the trim has enough of a sheen to fit a polished wheel but not chrome) I think the polished coys would be perfect as we discussed since I mentioned the finish isn't very bright compared to polished billet....so the polish of the rims would fit the polish of the trim and it would look like the wheels fit the overall look of the truck....
If you're going with the lighter woodgrain I don't think a gray color wheel will look as good and might clash with the sandalwood color on the interior. Not that you see a lot of the interior when looking at the truck.... One other option is the wheel gringoloco used on his truck...it has the annoying brand name into one of the spokes but he took care of that and you and your dad could too...then they could be painted any color tone you wanted...... But my humble opinion is a polished coy would be a reasonably priced wheel and really fit the look of the truck!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Looking a little closer, the lighter woodgain is definately a sticker covering the normal woodgrain .. could it have saved the normal woodgrain from fading over the years?
the only place I don't see the normal woodgrain (darker underneath) is the tailgate band. Can you buy the replacement woodgrain for the tailgate band? .. I like the darker wood trim too and pulling the lighter off would really clean up the crusty / flaking off lighter trim. .. Just a thought. I think all the side trim is the darker (rosewood) color underneath. Will get pics later.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Yep, I like the lighter woodgrain in the trim. It's different, and that color on a black truck really pops. And, I agree with Jonathan on the polished (not chrome) Coys. Now that the shine is coming back on the trim, they would look great. After all, it is a Sierra Grande! It should be "chromed" out... even for a daily driver.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Working on the color sanding still .. ugh. Taking forever. I did the initial cut on the hood last night with 1500. It is coming out, but just taking my time and keeping it as flat as possible. It has a lot of junk in the paint across the top sections so I have to rinse the paper about every 2-3 seconds it seems. But, it's definitely getting slick.
When I buffed the bedside I pulled the SG emblem off, so that has been cleaned and detailed. I just need to get some weatherstrip adhesive and put it back on. I replaced the chrome trim around both taillights, it looks a lot better. Dad is working on my new inner bed fenders today. They are super nice GM I got from Krazy Ray. Will post pics asap. They are in Primer / 220 stage right now. Pics coming soon ..

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
After reading through your thread, I'm going to force myself to be patient with my color sanding. Can't believe how good your finished product is coming out. I'm a believer in the sanding buffing waxing approach. Great inspiration, and great project. Keep up the great work!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
I'll get it put back together in the next few days. Hood latch is off (so I could get the hood letters off) .. emblems, door handle, lock, etc. just stuff I took off so I could get a real clean buff without having to work around it.

Dang... that turned out great! I can't believe the difference. It looks like a new paint job (or better).

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
Thanks guys, .. The paint is old, it's still got nicks in it here and there and stuff I just couldn't get out without adding some 'patina' ..
![]() I think my finger prints are gone. From the way it looks right now, It will be dropped and I'll have my wheels around mid May. I'm piecing the wood bed together now. I have located some white oak, and FREE bed strips for it. .. I haven't forgotten about my 68 btw. More to come there too.
