Nice. I'd do that anyway though (she picked the turquoise for the '65), if it was left up to me every vehicle I own would be flat black.

I might have you come over and give me your opinion on it someday. I have some ideas rolling around in the ol brain for some custom stuff.

protrash64 · 10-24-2010, 04:18 PM

Just read thru this........good job!!

The trucks are *****in' and wish I could keep myself in check and get 'er done like you have. I think you're due for a yellow or orange one next, huh??

ol_skool_chevy · 10-24-2010, 08:40 PM

D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y TAN and white ...

Just like the green one but in a darker TAN and white grill and bumper and top

irish1966 · 10-24-2010, 10:49 PM

Ya. I'm feelin the tan and white. Slammed maybe? Hard to say what we will come up with next. LOL. I'll try and keep the pics flowin.

ol_skool_chevy · 10-24-2010, 11:20 PM

Slam it ! Dam it !!!

Im sure the Tan will look GREAT...have I been wrong yet?

irish1966 · 10-25-2010, 08:05 PM

Damn it!! Friday won't come quick enough for me. Well MNF will make it go a bit quicker. Anyone wanna share some SWB pics of diff colour schemes to help me decide? I'm thinkin the tan and white will help with the stance I'm plannin for the 65. But I'm open to suggestions.

ol_skool_chevy · 10-25-2010, 09:46 PM

I like this But darker Tan

I have a PLAN for the darker one but I'll tell you later

irish1966 · 10-25-2010, 10:41 PM

love it!! Maybe a shade darker though. See the last pic is what we were talkin bout yesterday, except instead of black it would be white. I have an idea for the stitchin too. Pinstripe it and then get it stitched into it with the other colour. Oh yeah!!!!! Same wheels too. I have the door poppers and shave the handles. Maybe??

irish1966 · 10-25-2010, 10:44 PM

love the 2nd pic, but nooooooo chrome and where it's black needs to be white incl the bumper and roof.

ol_skool_chevy · 10-25-2010, 10:59 PM

I like the 2nd one but a lil darker.with no chrome...white grill and bumper and roof.

But then I love the darker one too with with pearl toner in satin clear and with white grill, bumper and roof and white pin striping

irish1966 · 10-26-2010, 11:39 PM

Well, I went over to see the SWB and the PO is a really cool guy and let us work on her a little bit before collecting her on Fri. It took a little carb tweaking, but after a couple of tries, she roared. And I mean roared. Man, the exhaust and the cam in the motor makes her nice and loud. Attached are some pics. I'm grinnin from ear to ear on this one. Just ask OL SKOOL.

irish1966 · 10-26-2010, 11:44 PM

couple more

fryer1979 · 10-26-2010, 11:44 PM

That's so cool! Wanna loan me a truck to drive

J/K. Can't wait to see how this one comes out, your color choices are very interesting.

ol_skool_chevy · 10-26-2010, 11:47 PM

Yes It's VERY nice...It has a little south of the boarder favor now ,but we will have it looking great in no time.
I'm excited to get started on it...

The P/O was delighted it was going to a good home. So technically I am the prod owner of all three years 64,65 and 66 trucks. LOL. I will post pics as soon as I can.

Well,
I made it halfway through your thread.
I'll pick up where I left off this weekend.

You obviously went gungho on your build.
I'm planning on tinkering with mine.
