My son and I mounted the cab tonight (with close adult supervision provided by Ken and Eno of KnK Kustoms)! Bringing her home Monday! This is gettin serious!! Tyler

 

Wow!!
That looks really good! That blue is stunning!

Congrats
Bobby

 

That really does look nice. I wasn't sure if I liked the white at first, but it certainly is growing on me.

 

That looks great and that blue is amazing! Care to share the color?

 

Agreed looks great and that is a very nice shade of blue. I am looking forward to being where you are in the build, I am a couple months behind you.

 

Hey Marauder, yeah the color is the standard current year F-150 (and several other Ford vehicles) dark blue. They call it dark blue pearl metallic. The code is DX.

That said, to me it looks darker and shinier than what I see on the road out there or even on a new car lot. The guys who did the painting said that it looks different because modern trucks have flatter panels, fenders etc. The F-1 is a curvier truck (and what guy doesn't like curves, right?!) so the light reflects differently off it than off a modern truck. The other thing I thought about was that maybe they used a different primer than what they use on the Ford line in Detroit.

Best, Tyler

 

Looks great the paint job is amazing

 

That is looking great. always enjoy getting to the point you are at now, for me that's where the fun part starts. Glad to see that SBF under the hood.

 

Under what hood?

 

Very nice colour!Can't go wrong with the 5.0 and a 5sp.

 

I'm visualizing the finished truck.

 

Ford uses primer??

 

Of course! The virtual hood... Looks great BTW.

 

Hey Tyler,
Oooooohhh that looks nice. I see a problem though - Your son doesn't drive stick.... I guess that nice truck will have to stay at your house when he goes off to college...

It's not a problem. They spent his college fund on paint.
