OK he has it painted!

He still has to finish wet sanding and cutting it but I think it's going to look great. Man I'm excited about getting her back on the road. The pictures are the best I can do right now until we get the wheels back on it and get it in the Sun. The picture of the bumper doesn't do it justice because it didn't show the sparkle of it like I'd hoped it would.

The letter's are the same grey metalic as the sides but they didn't show up.

The hood has 2 row's of louvers in it also.

Great Color Combo....

Cant wait to see it assembled.

Andy4639 · 12-02-2007, 03:43 PM

Thanks,
I hope to have it back home next week sometime. I can't wait.

The bed cover is fiberglass that is made in Rockhill SC. They make them to fit any truck.
The paint is 07 VIPER RED & 07 METALIC GREY.

Andy4639 · 12-03-2007, 05:00 PM

I take the back window tomorrow and hood hinges to start putting her back together. He said he would have the roof and back glass are done. I have to take the side windows too! It will be a slow process I'm sure but that's fine I don't want to rush the process to much!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-03-2007, 08:35 PM

Congrats she looks great..

**old Rusty C10** · 12-03-2007, 10:50 PM

great looking truck now we need pics of it all together

72BlckButy · 12-04-2007, 12:45 AM

That looks sweet!!!!!!

I can't wait to see it all put together...

Andy4639 · 12-04-2007, 01:14 AM

I spent 2 1/2 hrs. just getting the rubber gasket and trim back on the rear window to take over there tomorrow so we can install it. I have to get the front done also. He has to take the side windows off the tracks so we can install the new ones.
Thanks everybody on the nice words. Would have never done it if it weren't for this board and all the great people here. I would never have gotten any of it done.

Andy4639 · 12-04-2007, 05:18 PM

Ryan and I went over today and installed the back window and bed cover. Took about 2 hrs. I don't get much time right now working 12 hrs. on nightshift. Tomorrow I take the side glass and hood hinges.
