Nice score!!! Patina is perfect!

Thanks! Hopefully she'll turn out half as nice as yours!!!

Can't wait to get her dropped a little...

ReRod · 06-20-2013, 09:27 PM

This is my first post in the 67-72 section since I just picked up my first truck from that generation the other day.
Looking forward to tinkering with this one!

That Sinclair truck is awesome, it should be in a museum.
Or my yard.

LOL, shortstep took both words right out of my mouth. I scroll down right bf I was gonna write this and bam, he said what I was gonna say. That truck so beyond cool.

This my shop truck project. SBC/700r4. 5/7 drop. My goal is to drive it to Goodguys Charlotte. I'm gonna start a build thread tonight.

Very cool! Let me know if you get her finished in time. I'll definitely be there to check it out if she's gonna be there!

I've been through this WHOLE thread this weekend trying to draw ideas for the faux-tina I am doing to my Blazer. I started it today and I gotta admit, it looks pretty decent. Pictures in the garage don't do it justice, but I am pleased. The only thing that was scary was pulling a truck out of the paint booth on Saturday and starting to scuff it on Sunday.

If the next rendering from the sign shop looks good, then the logo should be done this week. I hope to get it on after the 4th. I haven't seen a logo'd Blazer, so hopefully it is something a little different.

Here is an idea of the look I am going for...

Best job I've seen yet. It's best to not overdo it, and that's exactly what you're keeping in mind

Here's some real patina inspiration. Just took the pic today, since I replaced my drip rail caulk

My truck has an original patina, but the tailgate didn't match the rest of the truck. So, I figured out how to do a patina look on the tailgate letters. Here's a full write up if you're interested. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=1#post6143962

When did you buy this truck.. i looked at one of his other trucks and saw this one other there last summer.. im suprised it lasted that long on craigslist

50mercfan · 06-30-2013, 05:15 PM

here's a real one. tire shop has been closed for 20 years. everything still there. won't sell anything. the truck is behind the building.

Katrina/10 · 06-30-2013, 07:11 PM

Too bad, hope somebody can do something with the truck someday.

bruceman1968 · 06-30-2013, 11:08 PM

Here is mine. Just got it finished.

**mattfranklin** · 07-01-2013, 02:02 AM

Bruceman, it looks great. What technique did you use?

nele22 · 07-01-2013, 09:15 AM

I started working on mine last Friday. I have not finished the upper fender or the lowers yet. The truck is getting dropped this Weds. I hope to have the paint done this weekend. I run a meat company so I am planning on putting the company logo on the door. I will hand paint it then lightly sand it as well.
