Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
The truck looks great, and the helper is a little doll. You are at a fun part now, where you can stand back and see some progress when you bolt something on.

The overtime at work is tearing into my truck building time but is coming together slowly.

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Thanks guys!
Question! are you guys really using these front fender to cab seals? I glued mine on and now the front fender wont mount up tight to the cab, the seals are to thick and holding the fender out. Im thinking do I really need these, Im not going to drive this truck in mud or rain if possible. |

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Thanks guys for the nice comments!
Yea the front fenders are on, had to remove the fender to cab seals wouldn't work they held the fender out from the cab to far and the doors would hit. |

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
It's been a while since I saw this one... looks great! I really dig that color, so I looked it up. It seems to be a color used on British cars, like Austin's and Minis back in the sixties. I might even use this color on my suburban.
I like how you are restoring this truck.!

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Went back several pages and couldn't find an answer to the question of what color is this blue?

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
After a little more digging around on tha interwebs, I think this color is a color used in 1978 on M.G.s, Austins, and Triumphs. Here is a link- http://www.mgexp.com/article/bmc-paint.html. Scroll all the way down to the last color sheet, it is Pageant Blue on the right side. It is quite a striking color, I can't stop looking at it!

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Thanks guys,
And thanks speech for the info on the color it is a beautiful blue, the painter handed me a large paint chip book on just blues and anything related to blue and this is the one that grabbed me and I knew this was it, just wished it were an american paint color! You have to see it in person the camera doesn't do it justice! |
