I had a lot of trouble with these gaps. Worked a day and a half on them and it still never looked right. Thes guys had it in a couple of hours.
-

-
DANG! That is quite a transformation!! I bet you are STOKED!! I LOVE IT!
-
Looks GREAT!
-
I was supposed to take it home today, but they broke my windshield. I pick it up Friday. WooHoo!
Dusty, your truck color was what I was going after... My uncle had one just like this when I was growing up. He's going to pass a brick when he sees it :D
-
Dang, that is a bummer! I can't wait to see it in person.
-
WOW Fantastic Color Combo!! :o Looks like the Bonzai Blue that would really Love to have on my truck..... Wifey isn't much of a Blue Fan, but she did agree that it can go back to the Original Hawaiian Blue, so long as it has decent amount of Flakes to it ;D Although I'm still torn between painting it Flat Black with a Kustom Flame Job.... :-X

Idea !! buy the wife a truck of her own and let her pick the color for IT. ;D ;)
Everybodys happy !
-
I love that shade of blue. It makes me jealous. I wish I could have picked my paint job.
-
Very nice, I had a '76 Longbed 2 wheel drive that same color combo. Got the driver side fender, door and hood all painted from a previous owners altercation with a ditch and then came "The Deer", wiped out everything I had done to it and then some, lost interest and sold it. Wish I had it back now.
-
Wow, just wow!
Turned out awesome
-
It had a couple of flaws, so they're fixing them now. At the same time they're fixing a screw-up of mine during window install, I put a nice 2in slash in the paint installing the driver's side window... made me sick to my stomach. Taped it and everything, just couldn't be on 2 sides of the door at the same time. :(
-
that sux about the scratch,i like the paint sceme.mines bahama blue but i want the blue on the kawasaki zx 1400.nice truck

Ahhhh Very True Mark, ofcourse she would still have a say in my truck, as she was the one who bought it for me as a present(atleast that's what she tells me) :-X
She has seen Blue Metallic trucks like mine, and she has said that I can paint it a Metallic Blue, but My Favorite Electric/Bonzai Blue isn't heavily Flaked like she likes..... Lately she has been talking about getting her Denali/Escalade, so that might sidetrack her enough, but I'm not going to turn myself "Blue" waiting(Not Gunna Hold My Breath) :o.....
Any New pics yet ccz145a???
-
well I start out trying to give you a little elbow in the ribs and end up envious
my wife NEVER bought me a truck :(
good luck with it whatever color you decide ;D

LOL Yeah I bout fell over while I was behind the wheel when she told me.... Her Father had it for a few months, and I would drool on it everytime I saw it...... Never expected it would be mine, then BAM she hit me over the head with it , but I still think it's a Dream at times:o Yeah I'm still wondering when the medication she must be taking will wear off, and she'll wake up :-\
Thanks, and I'm Kinda back and forth between all Black and some hints of Red Metallic, or Black with hints of Blue Metallic (I like Ol' Skool Kustoms, but it may be awhile before I will own one of those, so why not Fuse my Auto Style Passions)....
-
No. No new pics. They said it will be ready Friday. BTW, these are the 73-80 fenders The Capt. sells here.
-
Looks awesome man! Nothing like the thrill of getting it back from the body shop all new and shiney eh?
Dragon, metallic black rocks. I had my 81 2wd Jimmy painted metallic black back in 93. It looked so beautiful. The top I had done in GM Slate and the metallic black was some combo the paint shop made it up. It had all kinds of color metallic in it. Looked dark charcoal in the sun and then black anytime else. A really nice OEM metallic black I like is Chrysler Brilliant Black. Lots of metallic for an OEM paint.
-
Well, they said I could come get it today! They got bowed up last week on some ins. business.
More later...
-
Holy crap! That looks positively awesome! Can't wait to see what you do with the interior. I'm probably going to paint my '73 in the next year or two and I'm really liking the Hawaiian blue and white combo for it.
More pics! More pics!
-

-
Thanks for the kind words. I just driving it around for the time being, work has stopped to replenish the funds ;D
-
ya work on my truck (which ive named old blue ;D) has stoped for now as well because ive been layed off cuz of cold weather not to many people wanna pour concrete in 20 degree weather ??? (im the concrete truck driver) and because the grage im using is my future wifes parents garage and they dont have heat in it so i stoped till work starts up afainand its a lil warmer ;D so now i just surf the web for parts and ideas till i can get back on it if you go to the body catogory and find pics of my cab youll see my new cab and a lil futher down what the truck looked liked before i took it apart i hope mine turns out as nice as yours 8)
-
I found some pics I took right before it got painted figured I would add them here...
-
Thanks!

sweet 454 long bed
-
Thanks Dan. I just been driving it around. Still need to put in some carpet and side mouldings. I am having to move to Houston, so my time is now being spent on my house that I neglected for the 2 years it took me to build the truck.
The good thing is, the truck is together and looking presentable. I'd hate to try to sell the house with 2 c10's exploded apart in the back yard.
-
oh i know how it is moving projects, i got kicked out of my driveway/garage at home so i had to rent a unit a few towns over, not a big move, but its hard to set everything back up/know where everything is/getting back into things
-
Awesome job on the truck! Good luck with the move. :D
-
the truck looks great
