I am in the planning stages of mounting my battery in the same spot.. Are you gonna run remote jumpers?

Tell ya what French, I had not thought of that but it sure would not be a bad idea. After we put the cab on and I actually saw how low the body set (first lowered truck for me) it sure makes you think about having to get under there if you needed to.

Of course it would probably be on a cold night, raining and in about 6 inches of mud! I don't know if I would have any luck with my wife if I said "Honey, crawl under there and hook these up for me...now red goes to + and black to -...and don't worry if you get them on the wrong sides...I promise you will be the first to know."

that is SWEET

RocketKing · 06-19-2011, 06:35 PM

ON PAROLE FROM PAINT PRISON!! The cab is finally painted... I brought it home to work on the interior while the painter has the doors and fenders.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-19-2011, 08:30 PM

Very nice... Any idea when the rest of the truck will be released from prison?

Thanks for the compliment! When will the rest be released from paint prison? Hmmm...that is a great question.

We have an agreement that I do the body work and my buddy will paint it. His shop, mostly his tools and he is nice enough to let me come by and bug him often and is a great guy. Buuuuut my cab sat in his shop ready to paint for almost two months, I understand though, he has to pay the bills and he's not making much off me.

My doors and fenders are ready for primer and paint, but we will see.

It really is a great deal for me, I learn a ton and saves money...but what I am learning the most is patience. lol

Thanks it's a never ending process when you don't have cash to fund it, if you know what I mean.

Hey, what color is that red? it looks great. I am painting mine red too, just not sure what shade yet.

The color is Torch Red. It actually looks alot brighter in the sunlight, it was cloudy when I took the pics. If I get a chance I will roll it out for a sunlight pic.

RocketKing · 06-28-2011, 11:40 PM

Well I don't know how well it will keep the sound out but it sure is shinny!!

mcbassin · 06-28-2011, 11:56 PM

Shiny is right

what kind of sound deadener is that?

hey, I forgot to ask, what kind of paint are you using? It sure is shiny too.

Thanks, the deadener is FatMat-MegaMat.

I will have to get back to you on the kind of paint the Torch Red is, we talked about so many different kinds I lost track of what we decided on..haha.

Geez am I getting old...

David67 · 06-29-2011, 12:48 AM

NIIICE!! I was actually gonna go with fatmat as well!...but I think I should wait until my outside's painted to really start on the interior... I guess it wouldn't matter as long as everything get's taped off.
