well, im new here, but not new to FORD's (im a diehard LINCOLN man!) and my fammily has always owned ford trucks, well I picked up this 97 lariat for cheap in great shape (second owner now) and the one thing I detest is gold......its ugly on anything, so I tored it down to spray it up! Please keep the "I should do this", type comments to yourselfs, Ive been doing custom paint for 15 years and have owned 2 shops and done 1000's of vehicles so here ya go!

 

here is a pic of a 92 ford I did for a freind of mine

averything shaved, dropped and super slick!

 

Too bad you are not in Cali, I would hire you in a second to paint mine. Sweet looking trucks.

 

MAN... I wish I had taken that chance years ago to move out west.. I didnt and have been kickin myself in the but ever since!

 

Ok you're in South Ga. and so am I, in SW Ga. Where you at? That is some nice work. Do you still have a shop? Lets see some more of your Pics. Oh and by the way, Welcome to the site.

 

I live south of ADEL out in BFE! lol, all I have now for a shop is my little shop behind my house, that I do alittle side work in. I used to own SOUTH GEORGIA CUSTOMS in Valdosta, but sold it years ago, I still do my work under that name. As for pics look at my yahoo 360 page http://360.yahoo.com/my_profile-VjQm...FjHnEBQ--?cq=1
custom painting is my love, I can do it day in and day out, but I havnt worked on my own stuf in years so thats what Im trying to do now.

 

Stuff looks good! I have no real wisdom since I spraypainted mine

 

BUAHAHHAHA!! well to each there own is what I say!

 

here are some updated pics, alittle progress, I have been workign on the suspension lately, Im still waiting on the custom colors to arrive and have to prep/sand the truck again for custom graphics!

 

Wow doesnt even look like the same truck. I am getting ready to paint my 78. I have some rust to fix an I am shaving off the drip rails. I had to due to rust behind the pass. side drip rail. No body makes replacement ones so off they go. I actually like the line with out the drip rail. I may have to add a peice of metal dowh the back side of the door to fill part of the gap it leaves but otherwise it is just going to take a little molding in to smooth it out. This is my first attempt at painting anything so any painting prayers will be greatly appreciated.

 

I Know exactly where Adel is I'm in Pelham about an hour or so from you. Keep up the good work the truck is looking awesome. I helped build the Sanderson Farms Hatchery.

 

almost done!

Awesome, just awesome!

 

Yowza! Shine-E!
