Announcement of Intentions... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

texascowboy593 · 12-03-2005, 06:46 PM

OK I cant keep it under wraps anymore... The 67 GMC I call "Project Mayhem" is only in the very beginning stages of devlopment, but I have to show the world the proposed paint job. heres one pic as it is now and a couple of the finished dream (yes I know the model is a Chevy, couldnt find a GMC)

SLIMJIM · 12-03-2005, 06:49 PM

That's cool. I would flame the blue back over the doors so it isnt as abrupt. Nice idea.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-03-2005, 06:59 PM

Thats pretty cool....

Aquivarious · 12-03-2005, 07:19 PM

Nice, But i agree with slimjim, abrupt lines just arent me, id blend them together somehow. Like he said, flame the blue back a little more and have a blending flame going down the center for the white and red... Just my $.02 But i like the concept!

llegos · 12-03-2005, 07:22 PM

eh...a little to texas for me...

junkyarddog1956 · 12-03-2005, 07:51 PM

Tear drop the blue down the middle to the back .... just my 2 cents ... Joe ( nice scheme though )

texascowboy593 · 12-03-2005, 10:21 PM

Thx for the input. Just the beginning stages of the project. All the input is quite welcome...

low'n slow · 12-03-2005, 10:21 PM

Maybe add an Aggie "gig em".

chevybill · 12-03-2005, 10:31 PM

what are those long rectangular fender emblems on the gmc?
there is a truck nearby with those emblems.

**68 Stepside** · 12-03-2005, 11:07 PM

There's a truck in those pictures? All I see is Shiner!!!

!! I like the idea!

krazy_texan · 12-03-2005, 11:37 PM

i saw a truck very similar to that at the decatur swap meet one year and it even had the original bench upholstered as a texas flag, i think your idea is cool as for breaking the lines up i would have them broken up to look like tattered fabric

krue · 12-04-2005, 01:59 AM

Must be a Texas thing....
I'll keep my opinion to myself.

73737373 · 12-04-2005, 12:20 PM

Geez, I thought you sounded like you were going to get married!!!

texascowboy593 · 12-04-2005, 12:27 PM

In a way we all get "married" to these projects... Love/Hate relationship with the truck but in the end it can be worth it!

shelby987 · 12-04-2005, 12:37 PM

i'm speechless............yup.........still speechless.
wait, I got it.......does hank hill know you are passing this idea off as your own?
seriously though, to each his own I always say...my 3 spd. column shifted 4x4 gets quite a bit of flack too.....

bighead · 12-04-2005, 12:41 PM

Where can I get a beer that big???

rkarr · 12-04-2005, 09:55 PM

Meanwhile... That truck on the trailer is farther along than mine......
