A little curing time in the Florida sun......

6772owner · 08-05-2011, 01:08 PM

That is beautiful! Cant wait to see it assembled!

**RenoKeene** · 08-05-2011, 01:20 PM

Thanks, 3 people stopped to look at it in the first hour it was out.
The body and paint work is outstanding.

Zoomin · 08-05-2011, 01:28 PM

Congratulations!

It takes a ton of work to get a truck to that point and finally out of paint jail.

Which of the fleet in your sig is that one?

This was the "Wolf", put it on a cherry short frame and upgraded everything.

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve...cypress bed wood for starters.

Looking for a metal Florida Dealer emblem with palm trees on it for the tailgate.

TheSeeker · 08-05-2011, 02:26 PM

Looks like a 55 color, Seamist Green 586.

**RenoKeene** · 08-05-2011, 02:45 PM

We have a winner! Seamist green.

The back of the cab...didn't want to spend the extra $$$ on fixing that part, once the bed is on it won't ever be seen.

I stared out with this interior scheme but am leaning towards white now. I have a beautiful set of 70 buckets I could recover. Hard to find a dash pad to match though.

faribran · 08-05-2011, 02:35 PM

faribran · 08-05-2011, 02:37 PM

**Clyde65** · 08-05-2011, 03:03 PM
