Paint Scheme Ideas
Alright just playing around with Photo shop. I am not very good at it.
Anyway, I like flat/satin black. But, I also like red trucks too. So here is my thought. A satin black with red theme. The interior would also be a black and red theme, with the cab painted the same red with black seats, door inserts dash pads etc. Any one have a similar paint theme? What do you think?

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
to the forum from Jefferson County, MO!!
The paint theme looks great. And the exhaust coming out in front of the rear tire looks cool as well.

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
Yea, I really like the exhaust, the stance, the wheels etc.
Except...I can't take any credit. That is just a pic that I found on the internet. Not sure who's it is, but its not mine. Something to look forward to.

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
I've seen several combos like that, but the bottom color need to extend to the grill. Otherwise looks great.

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
I agree. Black on top, Red in middle, black on bottom. OR black on top, red the rest of the way to the bottom would look great.

That is the look I am going for though. I love the interior. I wonder if the dash is custom or a kit. Same goes with the door panels.

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
I will throw this at you guys too.
Now keep in mind it is just ideas, so don't bash me too much, I will have to do the research and measurements. Anyway, I miss my Camaros that I had (2 67 Camaros) and I thought about taking the essence of the Camaro a 68 and bringing to the 68 C10. Here is a pic with the SS Camaro grille Here is a pic with the RS Camaro grille and hide away headlights. Here is a pic with the 68 Camaro tail lights. Which I really like. I would have to do something with the backup lights.

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
The camaro RS look with satin black 'hockey stick' stripes along the top body line would be cool...

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
Everything Fesler does is custom as far as the dash and the door panels is concerned. According to his site, the truck has over 6000 hours on it. It's for sale for $150k. So that tells you how much money is in it. Do I think it is worth it? No! Is it a beautiful work of art? Yes! And I like paint scheme #3.

Re: Paint Scheme Ideas
Was that in length or width?

But, I will quick looking. Maybe someone has a 1st Gen Camaro and can measure the width from the inside of one headlight to the other?
