I really leaning towards green, but I also like this very soft yellow I've seen. I've bought a quart of a couple of greens (one metallic and one solid) that I can spray on some panels to see if I like it.

Fat Mike · 07-19-2011, 11:03 AM

Man your truck is really coming along. Like the way it looks with primer. Keep up the great work.

Hey Fat Mike,

Where the heck have you been? You use to post all the time and now nothing. How is your truck coming along?

Kabwe · 07-19-2011, 03:02 PM

Chevyrestoguy,

You are correct the dash will be fully dress like a belair dash, but not the one with the little bow ties. It will be more like this

Rods57 · 07-19-2011, 04:03 PM

Kabwe · 07-21-2011, 01:26 PM

OrrigG,

My buddy that owns this car purchased it for 25 dollars in 1965. He was 17 and it was his first car. Its went through many changes throughout the years. He told me when he was in Nam he use to have the car moved to different family members houses to make sure no one got tired of it and sold it.lol Imagine being in war and worried about a car.lol He has a lot of rods, but this one he will never sale. That car is not going anywhere it survived Nam, and a marriage and its still here.lol He is my Tri5 guru and is a very talented builder. He should be, he's had the car for 45 years.

bajabob · 07-22-2011, 08:43 PM

Bam
could it be that we are twins separated at birth ??? love the 55-56 bel airs... but not a big fan of the 57 (except maybe that project X popular hot rodding did a bunch of years ago)..
your buddies 56 is killia... just the way mine would go except for maybe red and white... I know r&w is lameo and been done but I dig it.. both sit just right too....

my plan is to make all the mistakes building my truck and then get it right on the car ???

STEVE60 · 07-22-2011, 08:46 PM

Hey Bam, I thought about you Wednesday evening. I was coming from my parents home in western North Carolina back to South Carolina and a Blazer passed me with a license plate that said "MRS BAM". I know its a long way from you and had a NC plate.
You don't have a secret life in NC, if you do you can come down and work on my truck.
Steve
