Folks are going to think you took a pretty blue truck and gave it a red/black paint job... and think you are too lazy to cut in the jambs, haha.

 

[Swims350]

LOL no doubt!!!!!!!!!

that's pretty good, never thought of that one.

I dids me a redneck dolla stooe paint job, red/black fade. Oh that blue? yea it used to be that color and I didn't like it, I want mine customized fully, mullet style.

everybody around here must think it's a big pile I'm sure. Everytime they turn around I got something took off or working on something on it.

Is that rattle can paint or spray gun?

I don't think that and this is one of my favorite threads to follow and think you are doing a great job bro.

10-4. So it's really not rattle can paint, but it is rattle can.

 

[Swims350]

yea it aint cheapo crap, just reg. spray gun stuff but mixed in a spray can.

I want it to last and hold up. I would have done it all spray gun but my nosy neighbors won't let me paint. they called EPA on me painting the old mans truck.

So I have to move my truck to my father in laws to paint it. That's a half hour away and with high gas prices I can't get over much to work on it. I did what I could here.

 

[HotRodPC]

I know the feeling. 3 of my squares now are at my dads, over an hour away. It's just over $40 in fuel for the round trip. I'd love to go out there today and spend the night and work on them, but I'm afraid with this heat, I woudln't make much progress.

 

[Swims350]

most definately, triple digits here yesterday and today, high humidity, no progress.

I attempted to reinstall the weatherstrip and door boot/grommets and got tired or trying it and it hot, so I just painted my mirrors. that's all I got done today, may try and install them tonight if it cools down some.

you can easily see the one twisted/broke line, the other two are broke loose from the sending unit, not to mention at the end my gas hand woul dbouce and drop lower then it should and stay and such, so hope a new sending unit fixes all of that.

[Swims350]
