Panels getting closer to coming home... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 11-04-2008, 08:36 PM

I posted pics awhile back of starting to color sand. My guy didnt like the way it was coming out so he repainted both sides. All thats left now is a tiny bit of color sanding and polishing. Then he is going to put a quick coat of primer over the whole insides for me (late decision)...then home...woohoooo. I hope to have her on the road in May...We'll see, LOL.

SWEET!!!!
Somehow I missed the fact that it had gotten paint.

CG · 11-04-2008, 08:41 PM

Its been " getting paint" for almost 3 years...lol

Bob 68327 · 11-04-2008, 09:14 PM

Looks Great and Laser Straight !!

I know it's been very frustrating for you Mark, but it looks like it'll be worth the wait!

Longhorn Man · 11-04-2008, 09:20 PM

that thing is gonna look sexy!
I still think you should drop it and put some bling wheels on it.... black centered bling with chrome/polished alluminum rims. That'd look awesome.

Richard8971 · 11-04-2008, 09:21 PM

Too sweet... I'll trade you!

I likey.... Black is an awsome color, especially if you live in a cooler climate. I would never own a black vehicle if I lived down south.

I really love black myself (obviously lol) we do have a mild climate up here though. But just in case it's ever in a hot area it will have Lizard Skin thermal coating and sound deadener on the entire insides. And I may just overkill it a bit with some of the stick on stuff too. It will be upholstered front to back and have air con...so I think it should be a comfortable ride.

**FleetsidePaul** · 11-04-2008, 11:55 PM

That is going to be one sweet ride.

toomanytoyz · 11-05-2008, 12:03 AM

You Sound Like You Are Excited Now that it Will be Coming Home Soon, Have You Decided Where You Stand with it? I Know a Short While Back you were Frustrated & Contemplated Selling, You Gonna Finish & Keep it Now?

I Fully Understand how easy it is to get Frustrated & Just want to Move on, Been There a Few Time's with my Stepper Project.........

Any how it is Looking Good & Just want to say Congrat's & Hang in there.

I have to finish it no matter what...Im in too deep to turn back...but I will say, seeing it finally getting close to coming home its making me rethink things (for now lol). After its home its all on me from here on out.

Brad · 11-05-2008, 03:56 AM

A nice black or white, or black & white interior would look really good in that.

That thing is gorgeous!

70GMCer · 11-05-2008, 07:46 AM
