A good friend of mine runs a body shop, I'm often impressed at how fast they can turn something like this around when they put their minds to it.

The right people, the right tools and a couple bags of cash can get a lot of otherwise impossible things done very quickly,and never say never!!!!!!!!

>]{roo]{ed< · 11-19-2004, 12:42 AM

Putter · 11-19-2004, 12:09 PM

I can see that it I cross my eyes...

>X< · 12-06-2004, 12:43 AM

Krooked has been workin on this thing balls to the wall. doors are shaved, and electronics are done. interior is painted, new dash pad, factory radio, buckets from 9- chevy, carpet from my 72, painted dash bezel, blue dash lights, and bowtie door sill plates. when i left my friends shop last night they were planning on priming the whole thing for the last time that morning. it might get painted this week. i have pics but they must be messed up because it wont let me view the email.

>X< · 12-11-2004, 09:17 PM

primed and guide coated (thurs night)

>X< · 12-11-2004, 09:19 PM

interior done, painted, radio, dash pad, guages, buckets, carpet, bowtie sill plates, and a new grant to replact that pos that i had in it for 4 years

>X< · 12-11-2004, 09:22 PM

taped. its funny that i do this for a living and have access to a booth. Chris (krooked) is a dupont rep and has access to any booth in the city, and were painting the truck in a friends friggin dusty shop.

>X< · 12-11-2004, 09:23 PM

dupont rep spraying without a mask

>X< · 12-11-2004, 09:26 PM

check out that state of the art marlboro paint mask

>X< · 12-11-2004, 09:28 PM

sealed with dupont something sealer. dark on the bottom, light on the top. dust in everything from spraying down to up instead of up to down. were sanding it and re-shooting tomorrow. its too damn cold to paint tonight too.

shortymac83 · 12-11-2004, 09:41 PM

reminds me of stories from my dad's youth. He had a buddy named charlie that used to paint for an Earl Scheib. He'd show up to work and paint with a lucky strike hanging out of his mouth, a plastic bag over his head and a pair of house shoes.

And just in case you guys think that this guy didn't know what he was doing, from the pics I've seen, the guy was a Da Vinci with the spray gun. My dad street raced a 62 bel air that he took to charlie to get painted. Said "do whatever you want to it." Charlie started by laying a layer of white, then set the pressure reeeallly low and shot black and red spiderwebs on it, and did the same treatment to the wheels (steelies with dog dishes). then he cut and buffed it. Dad has a pic of that car where he's taking a picture directly over the hood, and the reflection on the hood is mirror smooth. Amazing.

>X< · 12-11-2004, 09:42 PM

this truck is going to be two toned-white top, blue bottom, chrome airbrushed strip, airbrushed V and flags on the front of the hood.

Brainchild · 12-12-2004, 12:20 AM

I guess I'll be the one to ask.Why didn't you use a booth?

I have turned out some nice paint out of a watered down dustbomb garage,but you have to pick the day when the wind isn't blowing

Can't wait to see the finished truck.

Swbman · 12-12-2004, 01:12 AM

Man, you guys are speeding on that project,hope your friend doesnt look back in life and wish he had worn some breathing protection equipment.

TugOwar · 12-12-2004, 03:02 AM

What do you call the stuff in paint now days thats so dangerous? Can't remember the name but I hear it'll do a real number on brain cells, nervous system, lungs...

Truck is lookin good man.

Peregrine · 12-12-2004, 03:32 AM

Wow, I think if/when I repaint my truck I'm going for a two tone. Never really seen one before on our trucks. Most of the time it's solid paint with flames. hehe. But I like it.
