well I was able to slip down to the bodyshop to snap some pics today before my sons double header ball game ..

pics dont really do it justice , but I will say , it's looking real good so far , and the time I spent makin' sure things were "right" , are paying off I think .
little bit of and issue with the drip rail area , as when I welded and did the "prep" work , I squared it off , instead of rounding the edges .. and when we looked at is in the body shop , I asked him to "round" them , so it would match the rest of the truck .. well when he did , he ended up grinding threw some of the welds creating pin holes , so then he had to weld them up and continue from there .. all and all ... I'm STOKED !!!







and now just a "scuff" on the inners .. and some color .. I made him promice me , done by TUESDAY ...


and on the way home from ball ...
a little 2 point buck in velvet "picking" in the front yard gardens .. my boy and I followed it all the way up the block ..

Corey, is that a white or cream color? Looking like a nice paint job so far.

Healthy-lookin' critter there.

it's a light GREY , hi-build primer .. it "blocks" down to 320 real nice , and ready for a "wet on wet" [color:"red"] INFERNO RED [/color]

Did you tell him there are people spread all across N America waiting to see this finished? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I did , but hes just small business guy like me .. and I know just how it is .. I really hate to pressure him .. so i'll wait .

so I stopped in today and he has them now all "scuffed" .. and suggested color either today or tomorrow .. I guess we'll see





.

So it may be painted by friday is what you're saying (lol)...
I can't wait to see it.. should be great... i really wanted to shave the drain rails when i did mine but no time for it... i swear if you have yours done before mine... LOL.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

so my customer showed up , and I "wrote up" his truck for the work he had booked .. after his truck was in , I drove him to the bus depo. for his ride home .. I decided to stop into the bodyshop as it's real close to the bus depo and lookie what I saw

I caught my painter in the booth shooting some color ...





he was just finishing up the color , and came out .. we chatted for a bit and hes asked if i wanted a better shot of the color .. NO clear in these pics , cuz he was just doing it ... and I couldnt wait




It'll be cleared now , inners all done and ready for me to pick up ...
