[QUOTE=Getter-Done;8587871]I hope this situation turns out good for you.
This seems like a deal that could go Sour. IMHO.
Can you pick your truck up Now???
I would __ ___ __???

The last few time I leaned on him he got work done. Only 3 steps left to finish.

1- paint the 2nd color
2- pin stripe it
3- clear Coat
should take a good week of work.

I like what you have done with this truck.

Well Just as I expected nothing happened with finishing the paint and today is the 20th. Wednesday Anthony said it would be in the spray booth by today. All I herd today is crickets.

DWilbur · 09-20-2019, 08:34 PM

Well I spoke to soon it did make it in the booth

**Getter-Done** · 09-21-2019, 08:05 AM

A step in the right direction.
Hope he can get it Painted for you.

Anthony said I can pick up my truck Next Friday paint will be done. Finger crossed at this point as I have not received any pictures sense last Friday.

DWilbur · 10-10-2019, 06:05 PM

With threat of power outages the last couple of days I decided to have Anthony hold off on completing the paint until PG&E stops the rolling black outs. so I won't be picking up my truck Friday.

For sure its been a long road getting the paint done. 1 year waiting for 2 other painters that never started anything and 2& half years for Anthony to finish painting. I happy the paint work is over now I can start putting her back together.

DWilbur · 10-27-2019, 04:09 PM

1 baby step forward installing the ID tag back on the door jamb and a huge step backward had to mover the engine, transmission and T-case forward 1" so the right side coil pack would clear the fire wall. This caused conflict with exhaust on the right side the transmission mount and the rear driveshaft support. the good thing is the front drive shaft slip yoke still has plenty of movement. I will have to build another trans mount adapter because I don't want to move the hole mount and drill more holes in the frame. Radiator hoses can be cut down. The right side header is now conflicting with the shackle and bolt so I will have some mods to the header as well.

First c10 · 10-27-2019, 05:18 PM

What rivets did you use to put the ID plate on??

Bummer on the motor issue. Can you relocate the coil packs and not touch the motor?

Rosette Rivets are what is original and they are about 15$ each on eBay. I was just wondering what DW used.

I used what I had laying around 5/32 rivets.

DWilbur · 10-28-2019, 09:40 PM

I did not get much done with the wind yesterday. I opened the garage and seams like half of the street leaves blew in my garage. Found the break and clutch peddle assembly, Parking break assembly, gas peddle and starter motor but for the life of me I cant find the nuts and bolts for everything.

Congrats on the paint, wow, very sharp!
