LQQKin' good Brick. I mighta' missed it earlier but, what color are ya' paintin' it?

Thanks ProZ, 2 tone blue both chrysler colors, "Intense Blue Pearlcoat" and "Atlantigue Blue." Maybe a silver and yellow (Or something) color stripe seperating the 2 colors. The painter has a few ideas there, man it's seems like it's been a long time coming guys.

I am a carpenter and if we could make them out of wood I would have both finished by now .

Been done! The body anyway.....

just felt like rambling, in a way isnt everybody currently building their car's? is one's "hot rod" or "deuce" or "dragger", "jalopy" "rat rod" or "gasser" ever done? i know every time i say im done with mine i find something else to do to it. i was bored and didnt have the money to do to the motor and drivetrain what i wanted to, i found a guy to make me some door panels ive been needing. even if its as simple as a new seat cover ,a pair of fuzzy dice or a sucicide knob, to the extremes of blowers turbos or even a simple set of heads or a new carb we are always working on our cars rain or shine cold or hot.......... but are any of our cars ever truly done?.......scooter

I usually consider mine as done when they're sold!!!!

I'm with ya on that Gassersrule, I think that this car has become a part of the fabric of my wife and my life so much that it will grow with us and probly be rewarded with upgrades all the time, but I enjoy working on it so what the heck. I just don't want to go over board and get too much crap on the car.

Here is the Gran Sport.....almost ready for paint. What you see is a tintable urethane primer. The windshield posts and rockers in this photo are actually painted, base and clear ready to go. I have everything ready to go, new top, rechromed bumpers, new tires, rubber, carpet, the works. It's going to be a nice driver.

Here is my truck as it sits today.. It has looked exactly like this for 10 years. But heck, I have owned it for 32 years so it has been done more than not done (I think).

I have a 65 Buick Gran Sport in the works that needs to get done so I can get back to my truck.

Welcome Martinsr, you've got two great projects going there. The truck has some attitude now! Nice, keep us posted.

Yeah, it will be lower in the back.

Great Day!!!! Got the '71 pick-em-up out of the warehouse and started the paint stuff. Got all the red parts for the interior painted and cleared, gonna do the white tomorrow and start putting things together. Hopefully I can get it in the paint booth for the exterior paint in a week or so.... Then it'll be for sale!!!!!

Are you going to air bag it Martin?

Dave, you can send them fords away but they always seem to come home when it's time to die, like elephants to the dying grounds.

I'm proud to say that this is the most read thread on this site, a tribute to you all. Your knowledge I believe has helped alot of people, way to go !

Nope, no bags for me, that costs money. It will be just like in the good old days, leaf springs, just lower.

Well yesterday I got the white parts of the inside of the cab painted, Maybe this afternoon I can do the cut and buff and maybe even put some of my shiny's in!!!!

As for the Fords coming home to day, they come here to be reincarnated!!!!!!!

How goes the body work on the chebbie, Brick??? Almost ready for paint yet????
