I just felt like posting a pic, that's all.......This is what my front yard looks like.

lol

NICE lawn art!! A couple nice looking rides there Randy

*Randy70C-10* · 08-27-2003, 12:06 PM

Thanks Tim. I need an opinion, I know that I said I was going to leave the green truck alone, but I really like black and white trucks. They really stand out. I was thinking of painting the GMC black with a white roof and white between the body trim. What do you think??

**JIMs70GMC** · 08-27-2003, 12:15 PM

Where's Harley? or the Harleys?

dubie · 08-27-2003, 12:15 PM

Naaahh. If you're gonna paint it black and white then go black from the upper body molding to the roof, white in the middle, and then black on the bottom. Then tint the windows in it and you got yourself a sharp black and white truck. I've seen this paint scheme before and it's amazing on these years of truck. I even have a t-shirt with a 72 on it that has the same paint on it. I should take a pic of it for ya.........

*Randy70C-10* · 08-27-2003, 12:17 PM

Hmmm, that sounds cool. Photoshop anyone??

Jim, I was lazy that day, and didn't want to show off THAT much. :p

dubie · 08-27-2003, 12:21 PM

Yeah , post a nice clean shot of it in the photoshop section and see if any of the guru's can fix ya up

*Randy70C-10* · 08-27-2003, 12:25 PM

I have a good pic I can post tonight after I get home.

hgs_notes · 08-27-2003, 12:32 PM

Hows this for original, paint it like a police cruiser. White doors, black body.

HG

*Randy70C-10* · 08-27-2003, 12:39 PM

Hmmmm, sounds gross.

haha

Smooth68 · 08-27-2003, 01:17 PM

Randy, you're gettting the stepside to start looking good. Amazing!

**Palf70Step** · 08-27-2003, 05:30 PM

Looking good Randy..on both counts....does the GMC have air in it. I think if you went black it would make it real hot on the inside. You're quite a bit north of me, but I know it was still HOT in VA when I was station in that area. But your right the 2 tone black/white does look GOOOD!

**Palf70Step** · 08-27-2003, 05:37 PM

Forgot the pic...not a GMC...and think it's black...maybe Dark blue...but only shot I got of that color combo.

**old Rusty C10** · 08-27-2003, 05:46 PM

what i wanna know is why the wife ant out there sanding it and getting the rest of it ready for paint?????

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-27-2003, 06:57 PM

Hey now, who do you think has done all the body prep so far?

**68 Stepside** · 08-27-2003, 08:49 PM

SWEET HONDA!!!!!

Oh, the trucks are nice too :p

*Randy70C-10* · 08-27-2003, 09:03 PM

Thanks guys! The truck doesn't have a/c, maybe one day.
The Honda gets great gas mileage, I also got my Toyota back today.

70c10 · 08-27-2003, 09:26 PM

Randy, your yard looks like a playground with those toys!. Very cool!!!!

grnddwn · 08-27-2003, 09:31 PM

Lookin good gotta work on the excessive ground clearance

*Pardue'sCustoms* · 08-27-2003, 09:39 PM

Looks Great good job randy

1969 GMC · 08-27-2003, 10:25 PM

lol have the neighbors called the cops yet? or are there no laws against excessive cars?
thats what has saved us, right now we got my GMC with no front wheels sittin on jackstands, my sisters Buick, the Festiva, and my dad's F-150 sittin out. Now all we need is some cheap lawn funiture and about 300 kittens. lol
