go to photo bucket and load your pics there and go to your right to the last one and click on img code and copy and we love pics you will never make us bored

looks like my photobucket resize didn't stick...
I will work on this or delete it and follow the step by steps from those of you waaaay more puter literate than I
-
Dont resize in photo bucket. Let the forum size it for you.
-
gloss and depth on that door even at this resolution is amazing! cant wait to see a "real" pic of it!
-
I'll work on the pics when I get home tonight...
Thanks for the paint compliment...it's Dupont Chromabase...
The orig code was 72 red...when I sampled it in the Dupont it looked "purply" - not good...
sooo...we did a chromagraph dealywhopper on a buffed out spot and it's alot redder ( 24 years of fading...)...I get alot of oohs and ahhhs on the paint mix...
-
It looks awesome even with the little pix.
-
Sweet work man... Where is Arcadia from Tulsa?
-
78 miles SW ---right on old 66...borders Edmond on the East...
ever heard of "Pops" - the place on the highway with the big soda bottle out front...I live like 3 miles straight North of there...

Heck, you're only about an hour and a half or so from where I live... Ardmore.
-
another attempt...I hope it works...it is darn late!!!
-
more pics - after this go-round - I'll use the canon and the software it works with...
-
Hey old, what size tires are those(front and rear)?
-
thanks for not baggin on me for the duplicate post too... I will get it together someday!
anyway...
I had the wheels made by Stockton Wheel... the fronts are 15x6 and the backs are 15x12...Chevy C10 Rallyes
got reg old uniroyal city drivers P215 on the front and big Hoosier Pro Street Radials on the back...the tire height is 29 and some change - the width is??? ( really big?) - i forget...anyway - the rims appear stock - they sell em that way - I just had to mix up the paint and squirt em'...I can use my center caps and beauty rings...I am tryin to do an 80's version of a 50's version hot rod ( minus the wide whites...it just wouldn't work on this bodystyle)...that's how my warped sense works at least...
-
She is looking real good!!!
-
That'll look sharp! Looks like an early to mid-thirties 2door sedan in the background. Is that yours?
-
there are 8 cars in the room...the one you see is prob a friends 34 "pasture" find...
a few folks call that room "the candy store"....

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. What pipes/headers/mufflers are you using?
-
2 1/2" Flowmaster 40 series - equalizer tube - turndowns right before the rear axle...
She says it's too loud...that means its about right!!

This is my new desktop picture.... :o
Really nice truck.
-
Shweeeet!!!
-
I would go ahead and put some of that chrome stripping down the side. If not, some uh, person at wal-mart will just open their door into the side of it and, uh, make you very angry.
-
That thing is tight! Great job! I like it without the side trim, it suits the truck nicely.
-
thanks for all the compliments...it is rewarding to get them!
fyi... no side trim - that stuff fades - and wouldn't look good on her the way I got it now...
The truck WILL NOT GO TO WALMART EVER!!!!!...that solves that...
I have learned...you can park out in the back forty at Wal mart - nobody around for a hundred yards - go in for 5 minutes - come out - and some goobers will have surrounded you with their beat up minivans, old beat up tauruses and maybe a lawn mowing truck and trailer...they'll all be so tight around you that you have to go in thru the window... therefore...I will prevent from applying side moulding and the incident from ever happening by just taking my wife's car to Wally...she won't notice the dings anyway...
-
lol. Yeah that used to happen to me a lot when i had my mustang all fixed up. I eventually came to the conclusion that people want to look at the car, so they just go ahead and park next to it so they can get out and admire it for a minute. When they should have just drove all the way around it once, and went and parked somewhere else. Very annoying. You can kinda help it a little by taking up all 4 parking spots. Just park on the intersection of all 4 lines. But if i had my truck all done, with no door ding strip, yeah i probly wouldn't try it either. But really, wal-mart is just the main one. Anywhere you go it can happen, and i just don't like dents all in my new bodywork.
-
entered it in a show on Saturday - she got a class award trophy for trucks...very unexpected
-
NICE and well deserved!
-
got my plate a couple of weeks ago. It describes my personality as well as old red...

-
