    Looks good!! Always like those shortbed Chevies. You'll post more of the finished pics, right? Was that the original factory color or did you just choose it?

    Nice work! As usual!! Maybe I should drive my '66 F100 back to OK one of these days and hire you to help me with a quick reshoot on it.....

    Actually, I'll be in OK 8/21-8/28 north of OKC. If I get any spare time maybe I can give you a shout and drive down and say hi. I have relatives in Duncan, too.

    Congrats on another quick sale!!

    Some red accents would work well, pinstripes maybe. Good job on the quick project, looks really, really nice.

    And what are you going to do when you retire, slow down, I doubt it somehow. On a complete different subject, does the rain water just run straight off the roof onto the ground ? Heck with gutters,you could fill tanks and resell to those thirsty people in California.
    The truck looks amazing and for those that didn't realise what a colour can do to an overall look of a vehicle, check out how short/ smaller the truck looks when it was matt black to now it looks now in the cream. Man that interior is the best too and the orage wheels are just enough. Perfect and sold to some lucky new owner.

    Check your garage, Dan. I'm guessing there's a cowl cover in there somewhere . . .

    I am retired, don't drink, chase women or play golf. So what else 2 do? = Build KQQL cars/trucks and sell em to supplement the retirement income.

    Must say I thought they were red in post#1, too, but clearly orange in the other pics....
