The bodyman got her painted last Friday.

Man, it's exciting to finally see this thing coming back together. In case you're wondering, the color is Atlantic Blue Pearlcoat from the 2003-current Dodge Rams. I should be able to get pictures of it more assembled this week. I may have it back this week or next.

Bishops Trucks · 08-06-2007, 07:04 PM

That is purty! I like the color.

krue · 08-06-2007, 07:08 PM

Love the color, even if it is a dodge color.

**SactoJim** · 08-06-2007, 07:13 PM

Purdy.......came close to painting mine the same color.

Like the lack of chrome on the engine as well!!!

red69ss · 08-06-2007, 09:14 PM

WOW 68 stepside that looks great I love the shaved firewall and the way you took kinked section out of top of rad. support want to do same on my next truck. Your color is very close to mine like you said. That is going to be one very nice truck!!

68Stepbed · 08-06-2007, 09:22 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys. I was really worried about this color looking good. Mainly because I've not seen any other trucks this color. I really put alot of thought into the whole combination hoping it would blend and work well together. So far my vision seems to be just like I hoped.

MrShelley · 08-06-2007, 10:58 PM

You shouldn't have worried about the color, it looks awesome! Can't wait to see it assembled.

Aarons72s · 08-06-2007, 11:08 PM

I like the color. That is real close to a gm color I painted a 67 with. Click the link in the bottom of my sig to see. Cant wait to see it done. Keep up the great work.

**Palf70Step** · 08-07-2007, 01:09 PM

My Dodge is the same color and I gave thought to doing the 70 in that color too. Still not sure yet, but yours looks GREAT in it. I can't wait (as you I am sure) to see it whole again.

jsbgump · 08-07-2007, 02:22 PM

Purty sweet. Nice color

BigSky71 · 08-07-2007, 02:35 PM

Suhwheat! I love the color!

After doing a red truck, my next project will probably be blue.

67ChevyRedneck · 08-07-2007, 03:56 PM

I thought she looked good before in black... but MY GOD that is a thing of beauty!

Stoney · 08-14-2007, 02:55 PM

67ChevyRedneck · 08-14-2007, 04:49 PM
