So I just bought this truck-
I just bought this truck yesterday:
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...psnyoewuag.jpg The guy I got it from wants the front clip swapped over to his other truck, so it will be getting this front clip off my 69: http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...psncunceic.jpg It's hard to see in the pic, but the fenders are tan with the hood a grayish color, almost like a darkened wimbledon white. The real question now is who the hell leaked my build's color scheme to Gary Brookins? http://assets.amuniversal.com/ed2cdc...2f005056a9545d |
That's funny, have fun

Are you going to be using the new trucks cab for your build? That's a great comic I never seen that before.
|
I am using the cab and bed, dropping them on an 85 Supercab chassis and filling in the gap with more cab. It'll be sweet. Also will be running a 7.3 IDI with turbo and five speed.

I like the fact the he's using a paint brush and a gallon can of paint. I have seen people paint their cars with a roller before. But they didn't know which end of a screwdriver to use either.
|
I have seen acceptable roller paint jobs, you thin rustoleum 50-50 and use a solid foam roller, about ten coats and wet sand it for a smooth finish. Someone took a brush to my tractor, though, and it would have looked better in the stock Yanmar green.
|
The roller job that I'm talking about was with a 3/8" nap roller. I think the lunar surface is smoother.
|
There is a 76 F350 ex-uhaul truck in Kent that I worked on. It came in with an oddly orange peeled cream colored paint job. I popped the hood, checked it out (oil was six quarts low), and closed the hood. My hands were clean, but I left a giant print on the thing, it was painted with interior flat latex paint. It looked ok until it was touched, I'm sure it looks horrific now.
|
Holy Smokes! SIX qt low? I bet that was a hot running engine!! Driver must have had the radio up high to drown out that rattling and banging noise.
|
My ex (wife 5.0) bought a Chevy camero Berlinetta new (79 or 80) after I moved in (94), I decided to change the oil. Removed the plug and there was this tar so thick in the bottom of the pan that I used an awl to let the oil out. When I asked her "when did you get that oil changed last?" "Never" was the reply. The engine lasted 12 more days. I ordered another V-6 long block. When it was all done, I told her to bleach her hair and I moved out.
|
I really get a kick out of watching builds, but I'm really cooking up the popcorn for this one Jared. Your formula is so different I can't wait. :-X22 Like waiting for the next Time life WWII book to hit the mailbox.:D
