Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

look good man. What color blue is that?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Looks like the same blue Appstategirl used. Think it came off the Cobalts.

love the color :metal:

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Looks really good!

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Looks great! Did you paint it?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Is that a smoothed cowl in the bed? We need some pics of that.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

I have to get over there and see it soon! Hey, you up for a road trip to Colorado anytime soon?

looks awesome I know how I would feel if I was waiting...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

looks great! I love the color, but whats up with the crease in the freshly painted tailgate?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

kyull67, it was painted by 249 Collision in Northwest Houston. Yes that is a smooth cowl in the bed, I'll put it on when I get the truck back. Mondo gave me the guys info to order it. I'll post more pictures of it too.

Shawn, why Colorado???

thebrown83, the tail gate gad the crease when I bought it and due to the location I figured body filler to correct it would end up cracking. Trust me when I say... I have a plan. The "cover up" should be in any day. Board member, Mekdad, has been working on my a/c control panel using my vintage air servo controls. He has also made a piece, I haven't seen, that I came up with to go across the tailgate. Will post pictures when it's on.

I would like to congradulate you on the job you did on this truck. acording to the diasemble pic you now have 17 months and holding job and getting to where you are is inspiring. It turned out sweet. Im going to follow to that first burnout and look for that pic with smile of satisfaction. One thing that flashes to me is the red trailing arms and calipers will they stay red?

I have a project but havent started my thread on it. I have 1.5 years in it and cash keeps it a slow build but the goal is there and im close to starting the build thread just didn't want it to go on for years. Mine is custom extended cab 69 but i like to build one of a kind so it got to be tricked out.
again thanks for sharing your build greate job

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Nick, The truck is looking great! Can't wait to see it in person. I don't want to steal any thunder but congrats jorgensensc on getting that sweet new project.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Now that's one clean truck!

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Absolutely awesome . We'll have to meet up at the little car show in Kemah coming up . Maybe post it up and make it a mini area meet or something . I almost got mine back together .

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Sounds good.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Nick,
The truck looks great!

If you and Shawn make a trip to Colorado--let me know-most likely you will pass right by me!

Keep up the good work.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Bad news.... the plans to pick up my truck tomorrow have been canceled. The painter said he isn't happy with how the inside of the cab has turned out so he wants to repaint it. I guess I should be mad, but it is depressing. He could have just tried to give it back to me. Oh well, maybe Friday evening or Saturday morning.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

That looks great Nick. I never thought it would look that good with what you started with.

Mike

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Thanks Mike. If it wasn't for the good deals that I got from an Old Hippy, it wouldn't have been possible. HAHA.
