My 54 panel is now 10 years past it's rebirth , It has 30,000 miles and has been used as a truck , so it is looking rode hard and put away wet . I hate taking it apart and redoing it but , It's time . As Truckstock is 7 months away . I need to get to work . The running gear is fine , but inside needs to be rethought , and paint is shot , Then a new set of wheels would be nice . So the trip begins . If you are out there Bob , send me so ideals for a 2 tone paint job .

 

What color combo are you thinking?
What style of wheels are you thinking about?
I wouldn't mind seeing the interior as well.

 

I wish mine looked as "rode hard and put away wet" as yours.

 

That's just what I was thinking!

 

The old & faded patina look is IN right now. Throw some painted steel wheels with white walls and your good..

 

Go for it DR. And good luck. I waited 17 years to redo mine.

 

Looking at mid-fifties panels with two tone paint, I think you have to be careful to avoid making the roof look awkward. IMO Dennis Carpenter nailed it, as far as the split and colors. Could do similar with red. A white roof really helps with keeping the big box cool, but a dark top compared to the bottom makes it look more balanced IMO. (DC's is the bottom one, blue over silver)

 

How about a woodie. Saw this at SuperNationals a couple of years ago.

 

Thanks for the pictures Ross , I have not decided on what I want to do for colors , I would like to keep the front part of the inside red as it is in good shape and I don't want to repaint it , as for the out side , red and white or red and grey ,silver , I have time as I need to remove the red and get back to primer , as I have paint blisters . I removed the interior and found two mice nest and lots of bird feed , after it is cleaned up and stripped , I need to get a plan together ,

 

The woody is a little over the top , But keep the two tone pictures coming , I need them to give me ideals

 

If my truck ever looked as good as yours does after 10 years of hard work. I would be a very happy camper. I can just imagine how good it will be in a few months!! Be sure to show us pics of your progress. have fun

 

I like the blue and silver one. With your's do red on top.

 

What about red and black?

 

black and red could work , this is the rear after carpet and side boxes removed , notice the left door latch , today I cut it out and made a new one

 

I like the green and white two tone, so yours would look great with the red with a white top....
