Color at last!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sameyrasmea72 · 10-31-2015, 01:04 PM

After over 3 years in paint jail at a crooks body shop, I picked my truck up unfinished about 3 years ago ( it cost an arm and a leg) and have been sitting on it ever since. At the end of may this year I finally took it to another painter. He said it would take at most 2 months (haha). He has not finished painting or wet sanding it yet, but I went and looked at it and it looks very nice. Hopefully he will be completely finished in a week. Now maybe I can slowly start clearing out my spare bedroom.

Ooooooh, that's gonna be nice!

Mike C · 10-31-2015, 01:58 PM

You are going to be really proud of that ride and rightly so!

hugger6933 · 10-31-2015, 02:19 PM

Am I just fooling myself or does everyone thinks that all body shop guys are crooked? When you add in the fact that I sell used trucks from all the stereotypes I am as about crooked as they come. I only takes one bad apple to ruin a whole batch. I know there are a lot of body shop horror stories. I feel for you being taken advantage of the truck does look great it is gonna be so sweet it will hurt your teeth. Jim

**68350** · 10-31-2015, 02:28 PM

I remember that truck well. When you first posted pictures one couldn't help but fall in love. Gonna be one of the best in the country when done!

**jocko** · 10-31-2015, 03:05 PM

one of my favorite trucks EVER, so glad to see it on here again. That is by far one of the rarest I've seen with its option list. Can't wait to see the final product, that is one beautiful truck, didn't know you were restoring it. Paint looks great. Are switching from black to parchment buckets?

wreckedchevy · 10-31-2015, 03:11 PM

lookin good

Jocko,you are talking about my little survivor truck. This is a complete different truck that I have been working on literally for ever. it will be identical to the survivor except fully restored and with parchment interior instead of black

**too much stuff** · 10-31-2015, 04:24 PM

Looking good. Glad to see you are back at it.

**68350** · 10-31-2015, 06:29 PM

I thought you were restoring the survivor too

john@thepier · 10-31-2015, 06:50 PM

One of My jail sentences is 8 years and counting ;~(( I'd of pulled it but he's been paid long time ago and I'd not see my $ without a fight in court.

**DeadheadNM** · 10-31-2015, 09:16 PM

Great to see you posting Jason! That's the NOS build that I saw in your shop IIRC. Hope all well. Pete

Oh my Lord, you can't have TWO like that!!! Actually, kinda glad you are keeping the survivor as a survivor. More details on this one then please!

9teen69 · 10-31-2015, 09:53 PM

That's going to so super nice. I want a spare bedroom like that

**Joesjunk** · 10-31-2015, 11:25 PM

That's going to be a nice one for sure

Hey Pete, yep same one. It's been a long time coming huh!!

70LonghornCST · 11-01-2015, 02:50 AM

Thanks for the update Jason. Nice to see you back on. The paint looks VERY nice. Your truck will be a work of art when complete.

darkhorse970 · 11-01-2015, 05:35 AM

Awesome! It's good to see you back

That is criminal and sad. I thought mine was bad.

Thanks for the comments and welcome backs.

**special-K** · 11-01-2015, 08:55 AM

Hi Jason, I'm late in the game but want to say it's great to see you here. No comments on either trucks. Nope, already praised them enough for one lifetime...heh heh. Aw heck, what the hay. It good to hear you are seeing progress on your "Ultimate BBC SWB Cheyenne Super". And, keeping "Cheyenne Super Survivor" unrestored bumps the combo up to a level previously unknown to mankind. How's that sound? I mean it! (and never said it before)

Dave K. · 11-01-2015, 09:20 AM

Nice progress, and nice survivor truck as well

sameyrasmea72 · 11-01-2015, 04:38 PM

Thanks everyone!! I hope it turns out as nice as you all expect it to. LOL.

The good thing about waiting so long on the paint is that I have had time to collect the vast majority of parts. Mostly NOS or reconditioned.

**Hart_Rod** · 11-01-2015, 04:48 PM

Truck looks great Jason! How's your Dad doing?

he's doing good, thanks for asking. unfortunately he's not able to do much in terms of helping me finish the truck, but I know he's looking forward to seeing it come together and supervising and telling me the "correct" way to do it lol
