87 Chevy Stepside 2wd ***New pics paints done pg 3***

GLS · March 02, 2011, 04:23:25 AM

Well didn't get to do much while I was home this time, family time comes first. Got some body work done and picked up a few things.

Well it's finally getting paint.

I will be home later this week and taking it in. The color is narrowed down to 2 choices. What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards the Firemist Orange.

It's gone getting the paint, woohoo. I pick it up when I come home at the end of the month. Just in time to cruise it a little before the weather hit.

The front clip is ready for primer. The rear fenders got some new metal. The rest of the new sheet metal got there today. Cab is gutted and getting work. I can't wait to drive it...
I just wish I was doing the work, but atleast it's finally getting done. It would never get done with as little as I'm home. I'll update with pictures as I get them. He is taking pictures as he goes. Here are a few.

Cab and front clip done. I got some pictures last night. He said the color I picked looks awesome, it has 3 different metalics in it. It probably won't be complete when I come home next week, but can't wait to go check it out.

Like that Orange alot. One more reason I keep wanting to do my CJ in an Orange.

I just see one thing that could be an issue for you.
The fenders. If they were painted laying down like that the color could be off from the doors. The heavy Metallic paint sometime will do that if the panels is painted laying down vs it being in the normal position on the vehicle.

I'm guessing it was done right, since this what he does for a living.

Can i ask what you payed for it in the first place?

The truck or the paint job? I truck I traded a Jeep for and the paint job I traded a 4wd truck
for.

Oh, well the reason i ask is im looking at a 85 chevy, no rust couple dents. and was looking to compare.
