Custom 68 · 08-29-2003, 10:12 AM

Hey guys this is a link to another site I frequent regarding painting and other bodywork. This guy Kevin did the bodywork and painting he has some interesting stats on his time and what did go into the painting of the truck go here Copperhead to see his take. Then go to his main page and goto the Q/A to look at the forum they have some pretty good tips and seem to really want to help (kind of like here)

Those doors look like '68 50th Anniversary paint! Interesting. I love that truck!

Beautiful- It must be nice to have the time and $ to do a project like that. I noticed that exhaust setup was a little different, it exits in front of the rear tires and through mufflers to the back; never seen that before. Is that for drag racing were you can run an open exhaust?

blazerboy72 · 08-30-2003, 07:15 PM

The exhaust has electric cutouts and the open pipes exit in front of the tires.
