Wow, I hope you take that offer! Kenny is the man, he turns out some nice rides (and has a bad a** boat)!!!

BTW, this isn't because I'm biased toward blue/white at all but when I saw that rendering it was like "whoa, hadn't thought of that" and I think blue/white looks killer...

**67cheby** · 11-13-2011, 11:33 PM

well.....good news then cause i think the blue will probably win out, my wife came up with a KILLER interior design to go with it so.... and with the deal Kenny is making me i dont think i can pass it up , to have his quality and name on it will be a BIG bonus !!

VA72C10 · 11-13-2011, 11:36 PM

Cool deal!!! Sounds good!

71Sleeper · 11-14-2011, 12:48 AM

Sounds great! Can't wait now.

**67cheby** · 11-14-2011, 10:12 AM

little more back bed brace progress and a little more speaker box progress

raull · 11-14-2011, 10:18 AM

that brace idea was a killer !!!!!!! and why such small sound box ! lol

**67cheby** · 11-14-2011, 10:40 AM

lol....squeezed in all i could !!

big_al_71 · 11-14-2011, 11:03 AM

so are you going with the light blue on the first rendering or a different shade of blue?

**67cheby** · 11-14-2011, 11:06 AM

leaning STRONGLY towards the light blue in the rendering !

**superflysteiny** · 11-14-2011, 11:11 AM

Stay with silver

Really nice job on the sub box, looks great. Are you planning on painting it the same as the body color? The light blue should look great. Can't wait to see it done.

Dinos63 · 11-14-2011, 12:00 PM

nice work kat!!

**superflysteiny** · 11-14-2011, 01:03 PM

Truck is looking good

**67cheby** · 11-14-2011, 01:17 PM

thanks guys i appreciate all of the support....i need it..going crazy trying to make some of these decisions !!

**67cheby** · 11-14-2011, 01:18 PM

oh..as far as the box goes it will be painted to match the interior....whatever color that ends up being !

mcbassin · 11-14-2011, 01:48 PM

Nice work as always Mike!

I would add to what Keith was saying about matching silver paint. This is the case with many metallic colors. I have found it's very difficult to get them to match up even when painted from the same gallon. You really have to keep them mixed up since the metal wants to end up at the lower portion of the can.

Your truck will look great no matter what color you choose!

You can avoid this buy buying say 2 gallons of product and mixing them together. So if the truck is hit you are using product from what the truck was painted from. As far as the metal in the can goes a good painter will place the paint on the shaker before he ever puts it in the gun. Silver can be blended and matched but the painter will have to be good and thats why spray outs are important before the paint is ever put on the car ot truck after repair has been made. I see more of these problems with candys and not as many with metallics. Although metallics can be tricky. Also when a car is painted in pieces it is important to paint all the pieces together including the body because the paint is effected by the heat, humidity, air pressure. With solid color there is not as much of an issue as metallics and candys. Maybe this helps not sure but I would not worry to much about repairing the silver as it seems you have a good painter. Just my 2 cents.

**67cheby** · 11-14-2011, 02:48 PM

agreed and thank you ...every little piece i can put in this equation to help figure it out is a BONUS !!

**superflysteiny** · 11-14-2011, 02:52 PM

I do agree with Mcbasin no mater what you choose you have one great truck and we all love seeing the progress so just run with it.

By the way I meant no harm by my last two post toward mcbassin we all have different experiances when it come to building and painting.
