OMG, can I go parts shopping at your place? Think I just got my new paint scheme idea for the 78 off that blue/white with race track chrome and white spoke rims.
I really like the look's of that one!! Is any of your gold mine for sale?

naw with 4 upcoming boys they have to have something to drive
... you want to know the story behind the blue white one... that is the first ever truck I painted.. so instead of wasting mucho money on top notch paint, and knowing this was a work truck I painted with tractor paint the blue is blue ford tractor paint the white is actually ford tractor grey,but when I sprayed it over the blue it got lighter... there is no runs in the paint at all all I forgot to do was add the hardner to the paint (which helps it from fading) now when Ipainted the interior I used the hardner and wow what a difference its super shiny and smooth
I want to repaint it with real car paint so it will shine better but for a truck that may get beat to crap haulling wood and scrap it looks good it was a crappy brown and tan then it got a solid black bed.... it looked ruff
hopefully it will be running in the next couple of weeks..
