Got my hood back today!! Had the stripes painted in a different variance of the same color. Hood fits nice and looks killer!! Also put the bed cover from Film Guy on. What do you all think?

very nice, subtle, simple, but different. i like it.

*ksjh1316* · 08-16-2007, 07:39 PM

What color code is your rig that is the exact shade I have been looking for. Nice job now I have motivation to get my 71 done faster.

sb69chevy · 08-16-2007, 07:45 PM

Very nice. Love the stripes.

bad6772 · 08-16-2007, 07:56 PM

looks great ....was your impala wheels a direct bolt on ? or did you use adapters? they look killer on your truck

corn · 08-16-2007, 08:01 PM

I like the stripes, Ive always liked rally stripes. I painted some on my flat black & did the patina treatment to them but not sure yet if they will stay. What color is your bed cover? It almost looks grey. I need to find a black one for mine. Looks like yours is finished, you can bring it to me now!...

Pop's72 · 08-16-2007, 08:13 PM

It has the look of "ghost" rally stripes. I like it!!

70GMCer · 08-16-2007, 08:17 PM

That tops it off for sure......NICE!!!

*Billla* · 08-16-2007, 08:26 PM

VERY nice "ghost" stripes - really nice accent. Cool

68,69 K20 · 08-16-2007, 08:57 PM

Nice touch, gives it a subtle musclecar feel.

Mudder · 08-16-2007, 09:55 PM

Looks great..........

centsless · 08-16-2007, 10:42 PM

Thanks everybody! Here are some answers:
KSJH1316: The color is 2006 Impala SS Laser blue metallic. There are two variances of the color. The truck is one, the stripes are the other.
BAD6772: The wheels bolt directly on the 71 and 72 5 bolt pattern. I have done no modifications to the truck or the wheels, and have no clearance issues.
Corn: The cover is black, but in the pics because of the sunlight, it does look grey. I bought it from Filmguy here on the board. I would deliver the whole truck to you, but Redneckgirl would kick my butt, and I dont think you would like the price....lmao

corn · 08-17-2007, 01:41 AM

All I gotta pay is you getting a good butt kicking? Hmmm, I give it some thought.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-17-2007, 11:30 AM

That is nicely done. Love the hood stripes!

70c10 · 08-17-2007, 12:31 PM

WOW Bob!, that looks awesome, both are nice add ons

Did you use a stencil for the stripes?.

centsless · 08-17-2007, 01:43 PM

The body shop we use here at work did the stripes freehand with the measurements for the 70-72 Chevelle. He did an INCREDIBLE job!! You cannot see where the stripes are if you look across the hood! Now I just need to give the material to you for my door panels.....let me know when you are up this way and maybe we can meet up.

mbgmike · 08-17-2007, 02:04 PM

I to love that shade of blue. I don't love the price of the paint. Last we paid was $83.00 a pint.

BACKYARD88 · 08-17-2007, 02:20 PM

Looks good!!

BigSky71 · 08-17-2007, 02:23 PM

Great look! I love how the stripes are "ghosted" and don't jump out at you. Subtle and awesome

.

72BlckButy · 08-17-2007, 03:12 PM

Love the colors and the bed cover.

centsless · 08-18-2007, 01:12 AM

I wanted something different, but not something that was going to jump out at you. The owner of the shop I had do the work told me he knew exactly what I wanted, and he did it! It is hardly noticable until you are about five feet from it! I haven't gotten the bill yet, so I am not sure what this set me back...........I did take them 2 cases of beer on a few hot days to help soften the damage, I hope.....

krue · 08-18-2007, 01:20 AM

Beautiful truck, love the stripes!

**SactoJim** · 08-18-2007, 02:04 AM

nicely done!

1LoC10 · 08-18-2007, 10:30 AM

looks awesome

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-18-2007, 10:38 AM

Very nice who makes that cover?
