Re: Project N2Deep
Ok enough with the other rides. I lost an hour this morning and by the time I got to Pomona the parts/vendor spaces were sold out! So I spent some time on the project (seeing some of these project posts I really wish I knew what I was doing, well bare with me as I just want to get this thing on the road). Finally started on the bed, I think when I get this done I will be over the hump! (pics of the 67 packed for Pomona & the bed floor installed)

Re: Project N2Deep
Nice work on the bed!
And I always love seeing these truck still working... love the shot of the '67 loaded down. How was the ride with the extra weight in the rear?

Been working alot again, so not much done on the project. My union contract with my company is up early next month (I hear we may go out on strike over health care, overtime pay etc...so I may have alot of "spare" time to work on the project). I want to get the bed on, then pull it apart and have in media blasted. Next up: Install bed (media blast) Black prime entire truck Install air ride setup Install Drive shaft (have buddy run brake lines, wire harness-get it fired up!!!) |

Re: Project N2Deep
Ok, thought I was going to have some free time. But have been working 6-7 days a week 12-13 hrs a day.
The only thing I've done is spent money on the 3 projects. Purchased a blue folding buddy seat, put new door handles, locks, ignition & Bezel, new turn signal lenses & put the correct 67 vent windows in the white 67. Got the 72 Cheyenne on the road and have been driving it to work for the last few weeks. I bought some stock engine parts (air cleaner,radiator hose,oil fill and riser), black door panels and wood inserts. I did get the smooth tailgate for the N2deep project. As soon as I can get a day to work on it I should be able to get the bed together. |

Yeah, give him a To Do list so we can all get our Project Watching fix. Watching this truck being built is like crack. I'm so addicted.

Re: Project N2Deep
Something is missing from my garage! Ok I've been working so much I decided to have a shop finish it off for me. I just spent the last 2 days ordering parts to get it on the road (wow, never knew how many things you need when starting from scratch). All I need to order are the dash gauges and air ride setup.
Color choices are: Mercedez silver, Lincoln Navigator silver (little darker) or black. Also interior: black, red or brown Most people that I've talked to say silver w/black interior. My only concern is if this body style will look good in a solid silver. I've seen a few and they didn't look right, but maybe with my stance, wheels and mods it will make the diff. If anyone remembers the black truck built by Sport Trucks by Dean, that is the look I'm going for. I will post pics soon! |

How could anybody forget that truck? That is THE truck to me. It may not be this or that but it's the truck I've think will define the 67-72 Chevy IMO. Clean and simple. I've been wondering what happened to you. Good to see we know you're still on it, otherwise you'd just have to keep us settled down with pics of the car. lol |

Re: Project N2Deep
Silver is a delicate color. A timeless color but delicate. When I say that I mean, finding the right textures, body mods and accents to work with it (to really make is stand out in a positive light) are critical. I would consider the subtle tone on tones, for instance color vs. chrome vs. mouldings. To offer my opinion (I've already started that haven't I? lol) I'd go for the darker/greyish silver, some chrome here and there and have the window mouldings in black all to create just enough contrast for the eye to distinguish all the different blends of color but not so monochromatic or contrasting to take away from your theme here. That's just the exterior.
The interior, since you mention Mercedes, would be perfect with a brickish red or saddle brown type contrast against a grayish silver exterior. I think that color palette just speaks volumes as classy. I'll post a picture of some DSE seats and imagine those against a grayish silver exterior as if you were standing alongside the truck looking into the interior. I have pics of a couple silver trucks but will hold back for now. Geeez...I'm way too into this.

Re: Project N2Deep
Thanks for the pics of the black truck. I think I have "copied" all his good ideas and added a few (one piece windows, shaved bumper and cowl). That was the truck that started this all, the simple mods (and not so-drip rails). My truck will be a little lower, have bigger wheels and more interior & engine compartment mods. I just hope it all comes together and looks as clean.

Re: Project N2Deep
Have you considered silver or black over red leather? Good examples of black over red trucks would be neatoldstuff's 72 (sold, I think?) and f.monroe/N2Trux's squarebodies. And although I can't think of any, I'm sure somebody on here has a silver over red truck. But either of those combos are classic -- they make me think of a gullwing mercedes or a 57 vette.

Re: Project N2Deep
It seems like most of the silver cars & trucks done now have a red interior. Even though I steal most of my ideas from other peoples rides, I do want it to look diff from everyone elses (silver) ride. For me the hard part is getting the exterior color right, I think the inside will be easy.
Well I'm leaning towards the Lincoln silver (birch) it has a little of a titanium color to it. The Mercedez silver looks great with low light, but is a little bit too light in direct sun light for me. I've been looking at some two tone cars and truck and its got me considering that again. But the wrong lines or color will def kill the look on a two tone paint job. Got my Early Classic Ent order the next day I ordered it, still waiting on everyone else. |
