Was at SEMA too. Probably walked past each other, got pics of the same trucks you took photos of. Your truck is coming out nice , love that red on white , it's gonna be killer.

Re: Rods 57

I was able to get some more paint on it today. I need to do some clean up and fix a few runs but its coming along. Finally got to see what the two colors look like together. Chevy victory red and cooper mini beige.

Re: Rods 57

have not been happy with the paint, a bit to much orange peel. so I sanded it all down with 400 and i'm re-painting it. Wife thinks I am crazy but it would have taken to much to polish it out, if i could have.

Re: Rods 57

Rod, looking good. No harm in fixing it now. If you don't it will forever bug you. I plan to use the same color beige for my interior. The beige is Mini ghost pepper?

Re: Rods 57

Just finished reading the whole thread and that is going to be one awesome looking truck when its done. I love the custom touches that you've done and i'm looking for old valve covers as we speak

This site is great for keeping me motivated. I see trucks progressing and see the end results and that helps keep me going when the end is nowhere to be seen
