They got done painting the exterior (minus the top). It turned out better than I could have ever imagined. These pictures don't really do it justice, but you get the idea. Can't wait to see it in the sun!

**jamie72** · 06-27-2008, 06:48 PM

freakin sweet!!!!

GRIMSS · 06-27-2008, 07:07 PM

That's going to be amazing out in the sun.

Second pic looks to have a little pearl in it. Is there a little pearl in the flame tips?

Jtrux · 06-27-2008, 07:20 PM

Is this the truck with the blown BB under the hood?? That truck is gonna be awesome when completed.

kyle4381 · 06-27-2008, 07:37 PM

That looks killer... I like the 2 tone....

BLUE THUNDER · 06-27-2008, 07:38 PM

Awesome!!!! I bet you're really excited to re-assemble it. Later Mario.

Looks good - now take a step back and let us see what the whole side looks like -

AJs72K5 · 06-27-2008, 08:46 PM

Holy Shnikees! That is freakin awesome!

jays454 · 06-27-2008, 09:50 PM

There will be a blown BB in it as soon as I get it back home. I'm hoping to get good pics of the whole side next week when we take it outside. The paint booth was a little tight to take pics in. They take it back apart next week so I can have the frame powder coated and switch out the axles (the original frame was totally tweaked so I had to start over with a new one).

The flames have some charcoal shading around them and then blue pearl accents on top - it's actually got some depth to it. I hope I can get some better pics cause the shading this guy did is awesome.

Things progress so much quicker when someone else does the work. So hopefully I can get my stuff together and finish the rest. Rather than staring at a really pretty body and motor.

Big J · 06-27-2008, 11:20 PM

Oh the pictures do it justice and then some. Congrats man, that is a killer paint job. Can't wait to see it finished.

jaros44sr · 06-28-2008, 06:45 AM

Nice choice of colors, is that candy apple red? Great build...

BigDaddyDave · 06-28-2008, 07:08 AM

That looks great!

Chevyman63 · 06-28-2008, 09:10 AM

VERY Nice! I also like the colors!

**Yukon Jack** · 06-28-2008, 09:17 AM

Very, very nice! Really interesting design.

Long Roof · 06-28-2008, 11:41 AM

Looks fantastic !!!!!!

Question, what are your plans to keep rock spray from chewing up that beautiful paint? I saw some clear plastic type stuff you can put on to keep rock chips at bay. I'm not sure who makes it, or if anyone has tried it.

72BlckButy · 06-29-2008, 10:22 PM

Wow... that is killer!!!

crzngmychvy · 06-29-2008, 11:53 PM

That looks great!

Critter · 06-30-2008, 05:03 PM

Very beautiful! I have always like tastefully done flames like this! And those colors go together real nicely.

red71cheyenne · 07-05-2008, 06:20 PM

That is an awesome paint scheme! Really digging it!

vtblazer · 07-05-2008, 06:57 PM
