My 72 says orange red or red orange on the glove box door. I want it to be "competition orange" if I ever get to paint it. (With white deck stripes like the old Camaros and Chevelles) Mike, how long does it take to learn to lay paint down like that? Smooth! |

I like the idea of the continual stripes on the roof, along the bed and down the tailgate, but I don't know if I'd like the looks of it. Might be "too much" I guess is what I'm thinkin. The stripes inside the bed will probably not happen either way because the truck will always be used, and even the tailgate will be a problem, (airgate). But I think I'd still like to continue them on the gate somehow. Alot of taping! LOL I've even considered the idea of body colored bumpers with the stripes on them, but again, undecided. Chrome bumpers would be cool but probably cost a fortune since my bumpers are 4x6 tubing.... $$!!! Hahaha Keep up the good work Mike! Gonna be a sweet truck Lafayette 68K20! |

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Another small update: Front and rear glass was installed Monday, but I am going to have to redo the windshield since the junk repop CST trim is holding the rubber off the glass in a couple spots and not letting it seal properly. Off to find a good set of deep trim....

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
I have some SS trim but not sure how well it would ship...
nice job BTW |

A friend of mine has a bodyshop. I'm gonna go watch him paint someday when I get a chance. I have painted a car and a truck a few years ago that didn't turn out to bad for what I was workin with. (Cheap paint, no knowledge, and borrowed shop/gun...) I'll quit interrupting with my fantasies now. On with the build! ;) |

Sorry I have dropped the ball in updating this thread the last few weeks. Here are some recent pics and final assembly has already begun. Bedliner shot, and all the sheetmetal is in color. Look for more pics in the coming days as we start to wrap this project up.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Cool, thanks!!

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
I found it for $99 in a kit... I like that it comes in four bottles so you only need to mix a small amount and don't wast an entire gallon.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
is the shutz gun better than the one that comes in the kit?
|
Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
I don't think the kit comes with a gun at B&H, they are like $10. They gave me one with the first kit I got, but I buy thousands of dollars of product every year as well. I have not got a gun with the other 6-7 kits I have bought.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
cool, thanks again!!
