Default Complete color change

Here are some before pictures. Truck should be going in the shop the end of this week. My painter will be painting the truck itself, and I will be painting the handles, roll pan, front bumper, and grill. I will have pics after he is done, and then I will also be adding pics as I paint the other stuff. Truck is getting an Itimidator SS wing, and a speed grill as well.

In the background, you can see my new addition to the family as well (and a washer/dryer that has not made it to the dump yet!). It's a 70 Chevy short bed, with 68 front fenders. Got rid of the 70 GMC longbed, and bought this, because it's already a short bed, and has the fenders for the front end I want as well. I will be starting another thread on that one later, when I start messing with it.





Truck is getting painted the same white as our 08.....

Been alright lately. Was rough times for a while though. Sounds like your truck is going to look good too! Have you taken yours to the track yet? Should be a runner with that HP in your sig!

Gonna save the shaving for the '70 Chevy! Lots of things will be shaved on it. The '02 will just be a clean driver, to prevent me from spending money on it, and focus on the '70.

This one "should" be here for a while! Not making any promises. The only time I will be getting a new vehicle from now on, should be when I'm getting the wife something more suitable to haul around the kiddo.

How's the truck runnin?
