cdowns · 08-01-2007, 07:54 AM

hgs_notes · 08-01-2007, 08:13 AM

The outside is OK, don't care for the yellow under hood.

Premium72 · 08-01-2007, 08:21 AM

Watch out for the COPS with that paint job!!!!!

This is where I put my foot down. These trucks shouldn't ever have to be subject to humiliation like that. Looks like something from The Fast and The Furious TBH.

one more thing to add to my( NOT TO DO EVER LIST)

GREASEMONKEY72 · 08-01-2007, 06:59 PM

68GMC454 · 08-01-2007, 07:01 PM

i like it..do somethign other than the tribal,,but the colors look good..and the under hood looks great..

1LoC10 · 08-01-2007, 07:15 PM

i think that bright of color, just makes it look like plastic

'68 longbed · 08-01-2007, 07:34 PM

cool colors, hate the scheme. reminds me of when everybody was doing the busy pastel designs on everything in the eighties

wibilly · 08-01-2007, 08:10 PM

i like rust better

**N2TRUX** · 08-01-2007, 09:19 PM

NEVER cut a truckin half on a diagonal line. BTW- Orange and yellow don't go together.

**special-K** · 08-01-2007, 10:28 PM

We have parts stores around here called Federated.Their trucks are painted that way.As far as the rest goes,not my thing.Just using imagination to muff up a good thing.You want to get creative with mouldiong fiberglass,build a custom boat and pull it with your classy old truck.

THANK YOU!! lol, i was beginning to think i was the only one on here under 80 years old. i just happened to like the 2 colors together. i dont really care for much else about the truck, just the paint, minus the tribal thing. i have a buddy and his son that have owned a paint and body shop for 30 plus years and they do a lot of custom show car paint jobs, resto's,etc and i showed them this and they said they also liked the paint,but think i should get some other opinions on it before i did something like this, I agreed. thus the thread, and boy are the opinions flying....

I can definitely respect the time and effort that went into that truck (very clean) I just can't appreciate the vision.
