XChris1632X Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) A lot of people know my truck but most havent seen it in quite some time. Due to some rot in a couple doors she got a face lift. Still have to put everything back together, install some new 20" Wheels with even bigger mud tires, put the big turbo back in, and then start on re-doing the suspension. I started stripping this truck in the summer of 07. I had the truck all down to bare metal and was days within being ready to spray but lost a compressor(We wore it out by sanding through all 3 coats of paint the truck already had.). By the time I got everything back in order I was due to getting deployed. I figured I should be spending time with family and friends rather than my truck so she got shoved in the barn. By the time I returned home I no longer had the place available to finish or paint the truck myself. I got in touch with a local custom painter this summer after returning and arranged to take the truck there. I knew working with him I could still have hands on and do as much to my own truck as possible. We just got it out of the booth on Friday and the last pic is just how it sits now, back at my house and waiting for me to finish assembly. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/100_0501.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/100_0504.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/100_0505.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/100_0506.jpg Edited January 20, 2010 by I Drive It...

XChris1632X Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 This is how it looked the day I brought it to the paint shop now trying to take off the primer I had to put on to store it while I was gone. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0660.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0664.jpg Cant really tell but the jambs are all sprayed and reassembly has started with all new doors on ready to seal, spray, and blend. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0665.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0666.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 All masked for sealer and color. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0667.jpghttp://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0671.jpg Sunset Copper Orange first http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0673.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0677.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Colors are House Of Kolor Orion Silver and PPG's Sunset Copper Orange. The tailgate, sport bumper and grill are not finished as the tailgate is still getting airbrushing. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0683.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0684.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0685.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0690.jpg http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk251/XChris1632X/IMG_0694.jpg So far I have $7,500 in materials and payment for the shops space and help. I really wish I could have done it 100% myself especially since I paid a lot of money to learn how to paint and it could have saved me a shitload. Pics dont do justice for the orange especially without the sun. Here you can see with a little light that when the sun hits it, it really starts to pop. Edited January 20, 2010 by I Drive It...

neonkiller Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah!!!!!!! Where the Skis? you set them outside WTF! Mother fucker has more toys than we can ride or use in one season. I think the Wakeboat should be the orange color in the truck for baller purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanton I do have another barn if you didnt remember. But only 1 ski is in there right now. I am still moving things around so they are out in the covered part of the barn. And I have to purchase the wakeboat first, but I think I got that covered. Whitney said if I get her boobs done then she will make the boat payments! Thats like a win-win for me. What size snail? Stock is on it now waiting for the rebuild on the sled puller 66 looks good when are you ditching the vp for a p pump Since this is my 4th vp, the next time it goes or the new motor, which ever comes first will be p pumped!
