hi guys, just want some feedback, we have a 48 panel truck, that a customer wants restored at our shop and i've been throwing videas at the owner about some custom graphics for his truck. the truck is gonna be mercedes silver and candy brandy wine, here are some pics,








jams are painted the candy brandy wine

 

here are some of the designs, one i just changed the color on someones design....









the owner likes the last idea, but wants a lil extra, or something with tribal designs, any suggestions or pics, someone can lend, also what do you guys think about the truck?

 

The last design is pretty nice, just don't mess with the grill like in the second design. Just my opinion. Truck overall looks great, what is the running gear?

 

sigh so nice to have extra money layin aroung to get someone else to fix your truck...to shiny for me and i dont like tribal sorry,,,its a nice lil panel tho...

 

idk whats the running gear...damn i feel like a noob with that one lol

tell me about, it sucks seeing these resto jobs come in, i want a 1970 road runner that i want to restore

the truck is finally a 100% primered as of today and is now ready for paint!!!

any other suggestions as far as a design?

 

Looks a little out of balance to me. Need to get some of the candy brandy wine into the top half. Maybe something on the roof.

My son says it looks like a zit, red on the bottom and white on top........LOL

 

I'll be interested with what you come up with as I'm trying to decide how to devide the upper and lower of my 56 panel. I was thinking a flame design myself that wasn't too wild. I prefer the darker colour on top. I'm in the same boat as far as trying to find a design, if you find a source please let me know. If I don't find something I like I'll stick to a solid colour. Nice work to the body on that panel by the way and welcome to the site as it looks by the skills you have you'd be able to help alot of us folks on here regarding body work.

 

I don't care for the two tone look on the panels. Like it on the pickups. I would paint it all Brandy Wine with light color pin striping. Aft of the side windows, in the flat area, I would do some multi colored art work based on customers ideas. chuck

 

what i've been doing is google searching tribal designs, tattoos and seeing what the customer likes, pm if you have some ideas you would like to see

he has a the same year f150 hes thinking about bringing to us as well, not sure what he wants to try with it


lol at zit, i'm not too fond of the silver, but hey, i'm not paying for it lol

 

I like the second to the last one!

It's hard to tell because they all look great when they are done!

 

No Flathead - No design

 

I like the brandy wine color. The smoke grey look's better with brandy wine color. To me a real light color on top half seems to make it look top heavy looking. I like the pick up truck design one.

 

Here's a shot of Kripfink's panel truck. Maybe figure out a way to incorporate that into the earlier body style?

BTW, strangely enough, my mother was crocheting a blanket using the two colors you mentioned along with a Washington blue variation. I though it would look good transferred to a vehicle, I just haven't figured which one yet, lol.

 

Nice work... Keep us up on what you come up with...

 

thanks guys, it seems the owner is really feeling the last design, but i want see what i can come up with the hood and rear doors
