Some of you know from my other posts, that i've been replacing the cab on my DD 70 chevy. Well Paul's been coming over and helping me out. Big help too. Thanks man!
Anyway, this weekends project was assembling the front half of the truck so that there would be room to bring the bed in to start on the paint work. Here's a couple progress pics. Lots of assembly yet to do, but just needed it together enough to move.

Looks great B, I wasn't sure about the color when you first told me, but those pictures look hot.

Sprayed some more blue last night. Looks like I ordered the right amount of paint.. only have a pint left!
Not perfect. Theres one major color run in what I did last night. And theres a couple on the front half as well. But its a daily I guess. |

Runs are to be expected with the given factors. Weather, wrong reducer, etc.
Should go back together pretty soon then eh?! |

Ya.. will start putting together pretty quick. It actually sprayed a whole lot easier last night then before. The only reason theres a color run in it at all is I screwed up lol. Was spraying the vertical edge at the front, so I had the fan turned horizontal on the gun.... then of course accidentally sprayed the side while moving the gun horizontal as well.. applys a bit more paint in one strip then it needed.  |
