Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Was wondering if the blue on the firewall, floor and inside rear cab is a Lizard Skin heat barrier / sound deadener? I've not seen that color as a primer so I'm assuming it's a product I'm not familiar with, a product tinted with your body color or leftover paint from the frame.

VIc... this is Monsta-Liner... it is also on the bottom of the floor...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Have a 67 GMC and read your heartfelt story. Glad to hear you're moving forward with it and wish you the best. Those bastards will get theirs someday...I used to have a hard time harboring anger towards crooks but now that I'm older I have to let it go, no room to be hating..I'm starting a build thread myself and look forward to your updates.

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks, Dan. Never heard of it, but then again, I'm so far behind I think I'm ahead. Looks kinda cool ...even if it does get covered up.

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

According to Chris it is really not very user friendly... When I read on it I didn't think it was going to be difficult to use at all... Makes me think that Chris is a talented painter, but like most creative people they just need to whine... LOL

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Well I am the type that will chase them to the grave... LOL... I can't wait to see your build thread... What year are you doing...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

I don't blame you and you're a class act. Yup my build is happening now "67 Texas Farm Truck" :gmc2:

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Any idea when this beauty will come home to you ? Its looking good .

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks Man...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Well providing I come up with the money... I should be able to bring it home Monday or Tuesday... By the Body Shop going WAY over what the budget was I am trying to scrape together another 2K...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

I know about that overbudget situation ,been there done that but got the truck finished .

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Well I was major blindsided by this one... I expected about 800 over and that was manageable but it came in 2500 over... that I am not sure how to come up with the extra 1700... My wife is livid..

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Mine has learned that regardless of what I tell her, it will cost twice as much as my estimate. And triple for the time I think it will take ...if things go well.

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

LOL Vic... Well the problem is I have been in the body shop business... I also had a company where I actually build Hotrods... We have a real good idea of time and materials for this stuff... so when something like this happens we get a little tense...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Mine was a little more than that overbudget and my wife was not real pleased either but she wanted me to have my truck done my way .I sold my 55 Bel Air Hardtop in order to finish my truck with no regrets .

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Yeah... my wife wants the truck done and had we of seen it comin we would have stop before it got to this point to save up some more money...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Your truck is really coming along nice, I really like that shade of blue.

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks... I knew that I didn't want to go back to the solid white truck... When my Dad first ordered the truck it was ordered as a Light Blue and white so while building it back my way after being stolen I wanted to somewhat stay true to what Dad wanted... Well the factory light blue is okay but I just want to be a little different... so I started looking at car lots and everywhere else I could even paint chips... I actually saw this color on a item so we went to the paint store and looked at the color charts and matched it up... bought a pint of it and brought it home and did a spray out on a spare fender to get a total look of it... I really like it...

thanks again...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

You stayed true to your Dad on all things. Wish we could all help with bodywork bill, heck I'd send you a few bucks, so if we all did, there ya go!
:chevy:

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks for that thought...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Looks nice!

Form personal experience- Al's liner (like Monsta) seems like it's no biggie, lemme tell ya, it's a PITA. Chucked the gun across the yard in victory after I shot the last bit for the second time. From what I've heard, the only one that's semi as advertised is Raptor.

Sorry about the overruns, but it looks great! As least you got what you're paying for! (Don't get me started on Car audio shops. You aren't prepared for that level of Bile-fueled rage.)

Glad it's coming home!

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Yeah.. the car audio places are just a bunch of rip offs...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Dan,
I brought that thing home a few hours ago! OK 1.5 Hrs but anyway...
Where are the PICS.
I had to change a flat (before even loading the trailer) to get it home... the least you could do is let me see it on the trailer. LOL

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

And I thank You for that... LOL... pictures coming in a little bit...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks To Mike (Cash3481) Class Act got to come home today... Still alot to do to the body to make it right but we are well on our way... Here are some pictures of it leaving Chris Carlson's Hot Rod...
