Thanks everyone! Excited to get them done and on the truck.

McBassin- my truck fairy wears brown, and for the low-low price of $699, will bring you a set of your very own

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

I just finished up to this point on the build, and I love it. The weathered Patina look is awesome. And the wheels look great too. I can't wait to see them mounted! Keep up the great work!

Wheel looks great. Too bad you have to do all that work. I'm thinking of changing my wheels to 20s also. These might be in the running.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Thanks again everyone. The more I look at them, the more I like them. Yeah, I will have a bunch of work in these when I'm done, but I saved a little money, have something no one else does, and can say I did it myself

The sheen looks good to me. Will probably be less porous too. It is a bit darker than I thought it might but still looks good.

Truck Shop, but I now know they're all the same, so buy from the cheapest board vendor...

Wheels look great! I like them a little darker than lighter. More of a charcoal. Looks great!

Thanks, I hope they turn out. Finished another one tonight- got my technique down now and it's going a little faster. Maybe get some more time to finish them next week- trying to beat the winter cold before I'm unable to paint...

COLD WINTER,,,, Unless you moved a little closer to the North Pole, I doubt it gets cold enough not to let the paint dry..
