1977 F250 New Paint

Just finished painting my truck and thought I would share. In my gallery are the pictures of start to finish, well it's never finished.

Thanks, I bought this truck from a guy who was going to scrap it. Paid him $100 bucks and towed it home. I started this in July. Every free min I had was put into it. I almost got burned out and the wife wasn't to happy with me. Glad I held in there.

I know how it feels to be "burned out" I almost gave up on my 250 1/2 way thru.

You might check out Ford's new color "Lime Squeeze Metallic" not being used on trucks, but I've been thinking it would make a sweet color for a dentside.

Great job...it's a real encouragement as I look at my own truck and think through all the work I want to do.

Your truck looks terrific!
