Smile Progress pics from paint boothe

I just added some more pics to my gallery showing the new maroon pearl paint on my truck. I've taken the truck to "Streetrod Glass" for the installation of the windows. and in a perfect world when Carson gets done with the glass, Bob's Autobody will have the bed , rear fenders and running boards ready to re- install.

It seemed liked this last "phase" wasn't ever going to be finished! But now I have my enthusiasm back.

Wayne - You devil! That is a great color! The finish on it is awsome. I really need to see that truck in person. When you take it to Tuxie's (or ?) you gotta let me know so I can get an eyeful.

Congrats.

It is beautiful, you called it maroon pearl, is that the name of the color or is it really pearlized maroon? When I was in Ca recently, Randy and I saw a custom chopper real close to that color. Do you have any plans for graphics or striping etc? An awesome choice, it's also on my short list for color!

Tim, at one time I envisioned my truck with silver ghost flames, but I have to stop somewhere. I think the chrome accents will give it enough bling!

Randy, when I get it home again you are more than welcome to stop by anytime.
I don't recommend you drive your 56 though because I am on a dirt road.

Thanks for all your comments.

John, I,ve got the build sheets when ever your interested.

Greg, I couldn't use purple, You beat me to it! and I won,t have to worry about John blowing me in the weeds out here in Ca. And you seem to have things pretty well in hand with your B/B Ford in your neck of the woods.
Wayne
