Welcome aboard Chief! Looking forward to your updates! For 20 years I dreamed of painting my Ochre 72 red and white. Once I got serious with my build, and started going to shows, I changed to blue. I think in my earlier years I really liked the idea of the boldness of the red, but as I've aged I don't like the attention as much as I used to, and blue feels a bit more laid back.

You are blessed to have a friend who is willing to undertake such a huge process! I will say this though, the second time you build one would be much more streamlined. If I decide to do another truck, I believe it would take a quarter of the time. Who knows, maybe the next one will be red!
