I'm just not a fan of the original color combo. I don't like the original Dark Blue at all. If I painted it a factory blue it would be the 507 Light Blue and White. My truck had a repaint at some time with what looks like a lighter blue then the original Dark Blue but you can see the Dark Blue coming through in a lot of spots.

Played around with the paint shop program a little more today, I love this thing :metal: probably not what I need with my inability to decide what I want is a thousand paint options :lol:

I think whatever you decide to paint it you can't go wrong. ANYTHING will look good laid out on billets

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Worked on the truck a little today, took my front clip apart so I could get the fenders stripped down to see what I really have. Looks like I have a little rust work to do but not as bad as I thought. I was thinking about taking them down to bare metal by blasting them and fixing the rust spots or I could just fix the couple of rust spots and clean up the surface rust and rock the Patina but with new trim and emblems. I would need to figure out how to get my doors to match since I completely reskinned them and they are no longer the original color.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

The colors look great man, I'm torn between the orange and blue on mine but either way I dont think we could go wrong. I'll probably go with orange, but my grille will be 2001~ish Z06 Corvette Speedway White. It's kinda more vanilla color but you almost have to see it beside pure white to even tell it's not really white. Solid hugger with a white grille section (no white top) is sharp too!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Thanks buddy, I'm like a kid playing with a new toy. Only this one lets me try out a million different color combos for my truck. Just what I needed right :lol: at least you have yours narrowed down to 2 colors, I'm stuck on like 5-6 different color combos.

Hey Bennett, does that paint program have an option for a cowl hood and different grilles?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

It does have the option for a cowl hood but doesn't quite look right to me. It is a single vehicle program so there wasn't an option that I could see with respect to changing the grill. For the 68 you can turn the grill trim on and off and also change the color of the trim.

Cool, thanks! I am really impressed with that program, I will be buying it to see what my ideas look like for my build soon!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Yeah for the price of the program I think it is worth it, especially if you are torn between different paint combos like I am. If you already know exactly what you want then it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
 

Well, my thing is, I know what I want, I just want to see if it is going to look as good in reality as it does in my head. Plus, I can try a few different combos, it looks like a lot of fun to play with!

Took advantage of the Boyd welding group buy and got myself a new gas tank. Very nice quality and love how its already set up for an in tank fuel pump in case I decide to go fuel injection in the future :devil: I'll post a pic when I'm able to resize it :lol:

Those fenders look pretty nice from where I'm sitting. Wish I would have had the extra cash for that group buy. Those tanks are really nice.
