Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
I'm excited to see it all come together, it's looking great, that paint looks beautiful as well.

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
Great thread to read and follow along with your progress. Will be watching to see how it all comes together. Keep up the great work, and be sure to thank your dad! (i'm sure you have already)
|
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
Yeah, this has been a fun one to follow. Going to live vicariously through you for a bit as mine is stuck in body shop limbo. I have tons of parts waiting to go in my truck and tons of enthusiasm, but no truck to work on. Wish I knew how to weld and paint. Anyway, trucks looking great. Can't wait to see the next steps.

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
I totally forgot that steering wheel was on that truck when you got it. I remember all the way back in 2001 when I bought that thing new and then traded it to my buddy you bought the truck from. It's good to see it's going to still be on a cool truck.

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
lol nice 69chevyshort.. yea im not going to finish the interior any time soon (unless something big happens cash wise) so the interior is going to look quite "odd" to say the least.. you remember the brown bench seat he had?? yea its staying for now lol i have a new red dash pad.. grey steering wheel (which i plan to get the red leather wrap soon).. but all in all itll be "drivable" in the next couple wheeks.. Motor went in today!! hopefully stayin this time.. ohh yea and the bed went together also.. ill get more pics soon

What size is your wheel? I just got a wheel with a red leather wrap and I'm going to do black or tan. I'd make you a really good deal on the wrap. on the bench, have you thought about using the spray dye for a temp fix? just spray it black until you get ready to do the interior |
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
*updates*
heres some more pics of the progress in the last couple days.. here is my bed (you might not like it, but i love it!! im going with a red interior, and red wheel tubs under the hood (and a red engine block of course) .. i like how it balances out through the truck. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20...s2008003-3.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20...s2008005-3.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20...s2008006-2.jpg |

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
Man, that looks nice. Neat idea on the color coordinating. That will make it stand out from the rest. Wish my bed looked that good. I could barely choke down the price of one bedside. Ugh! I think we'll be going the cover route. And that way I won't feel so bad putting my ice chest, chairs, etc in the back when we go to shows! :lol: Keep up the good work!

Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
Looks really good are you doing any pinstriping
|
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
no plan on pinstriping.. i have thought of doing some kind of racing stripes in flat black.. but that prob wont end up happening
|
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
Very nice.
|
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
The red bed floor is a very Cool idea. I say no to the flat black stripes though.
Your truck looks amazing! |
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
I agree with lolife99, the truck looks killer, but try to stay away from the racing stripe idea. Not much looks better than a solid black truck. Your truck looks freakin awesome. Great job.
|
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
done then!! lol no stripes.. thanks for the compliments guys
|
Re: Project ROOKIE (BB, Bags, Short Fleet Frame off)
