Solve your painter problems by doing all the prep work yourself, get him out of bed, buy him coffee, buy the paint, mix the paint and pay him in cash after the work is done...LOL! I'd spray it myself but this Anniversay Gold metallic is really tricky.

His comments..."I don't need no stinking mask...I eat this s*$$ for breakfast"...LOL!

drivethechevy · 05-24-2009, 12:00 PM

Looking good

CG · 05-24-2009, 12:35 PM

That is going to be a great looking truck when your done. Will you be driving it to the fall meet?

**Hart_Rod** · 05-24-2009, 01:10 PM

Sweeeettt!!!

Longhorn Man · 05-24-2009, 01:39 PM

mike... have I mentioned lately how much i hate you?

Lookin sweet man. (you should ask Mark if he'll be drivin the panel to the meet in the fall!)

stllookn · 05-24-2009, 03:10 PM

I am shooting to have it done this summer...painting is now the easy part. Only two painting sessions left...then reassemble!!!! Whoo-hooo!!!!!! I still need to finish the 468, have the tranny rebuilt and rebuild and install the posi. I am sure that when I get down to the last few items somethings are going to get postponed for later. The posi may wait as will the AC and new disc brakes. Getting it on the road is the big deal.

stllookn · 05-24-2009, 03:23 PM

CG...I'm turning into a puss...if I drive it...I won't be hauling any parts or old dirty Weber grills...LOL!

Andy...I know I can count on you for support. I can hardly wait to install those white and gold buddy buckets!!!!!

Your truck looks amazing, fresh paint gives me a feeling I have not had since climbing the rope in Gym class.
