Re: First Day Out

I am in the process of building a 72 myself, 4 eyes look great and those head lamp covers you installed answered question on should I use them or not, thanks. The Florida edition are killer, the truck looks expensive. Waiting for the finale pictures with baited breathe, use the right bait you may Great JOB>

Thanks, lots of NOS goodies. She's at the paint shop now for final touch-up (and windshield re-install).

Re: First Day Out

You just restored my faith in Sea Mist Green. Awesome!
I have a coworker that had his 87 SWB painted Sea Mist Green by a world famous painter but it doesn't look half as good as yours. The painter was someone called Earl Schieb.
I also really like your back drop.

Re: First Day Out

Reno,... would you care to share how much money you have in your truck?

I hate it when people see a truck for sale and say, "It's nice,... but it's not worth that much!"
Alot of people don't realize the costs involved in building a truck to this caliber.

In my mind,... your truck is perfect.
I wouldn't change anything.
(and I don't say that very often. Ha)

Re: First Day Out

Thanks Keith, I don't mind disclosing the cost as she won't be for sale any time soon. I'm right at 30K and I did most of the work myself, I did farm out the body and paint for 8K as I wanted it perfect (and that was cheap for the job they did).
You are right....people don't realize how much work it takes to do a full off resto. I would guess if I had consigned this build out it would have cost about 40-45K or more.
Here is a shot of the engine bay....original 402.

I think the design of these trucks are beautiful, that's where I got "The American Beauty" from. And Rose came from the cover of the Grateful Dead "American Beauty" album.

What a great stepper Reno! I just picked up a 72 recently myself and I'm starting the journey. Hope it turns out half as nice as yours.
