Okay, I am following Jon's directions to see if I can upload a pic. This is a picture of my truck as of yesterday.
Awesome Baby!!!! See? You should be a Kanzan! All you need now are some white to yellow flames and that beautiful KC Chiefs arrowhead on the side of your doors! Stick with me kid, I'll set you straight, see? Really, that looks great! Proud dad So, I saw the post that had how to post a picture, but I forgot where I saw it! Where ARE those directions? You're giving me hope Gater! Hey, can I touch the paint and see if it's dry yet?????
Instructions on posting picture Check Front leaf springs. It is a new thread. Jon was telling how in one of the posts. I used www.81x.com to store my photos. He used a different one. Let me know if you need help. Thanks for the comments on the truck. I feel like an expectant dad waiting for the birth.
UT Orange I wasn't quite ready to make that statement although several in East Tennessee have. I am, however, sending them quite a bit of money right now seeing as how I have a daughter who is a freshman there this year. The guy that is painting my truck says that he is closing up shop when he finishes mine. He says that he can't make enough money in E. Tenn. That before, when he had a shop in Fla., he could demand higher prices. He gave me a firm bid and now he is saying it wasn't enough. He hasn't asked for more, he is just saying it is different here. The way I see it is, if you make a firm bid you live with it. He is a heck of a painter, though.
ha! artists, huh? they're all the same, always wanting more. anyway, nice picture there! fairly painless process, eh?? jon
Resale Red ! WOW ! looking very good there . Too bad about your painter ~ it's a labor intensive job and most guys burn out after a few years & only want easy jobs or a king's ransom to do older work like this . I need a decent place to repair some rust in my old Mercedes here in La-La Land...
Another Photo Now that I learned how to post I will probably post too many. But things are moving well so here is one as of today. Windows go in tomorrow.
Come on Gater, white into yellow flames with the KC Arrowhead on the side of the door! Ya gotta'! They have a scale for the severity of tornadoes and hurricanes... If they had one for envy on a scale of 1-10, I'm at a 10! I'm pulling for you that you can get'r done and out of there without any additional$$$ The weather is supposed to be great here tomorrow, so you know I'll be painting too! I've got about half a side of my frame done, and have found the best way to remove rivets seems to be with DeWalt twist drill bits. They just cut into those like wood (They SUCK on wood) then take a punch and knock the other half out. Piece of cake! Post those pictures! I promise to try the same myself!
Thank's Zig, Right now we are trying to figure out how to put all the rubber in around the doors. Do you know of a diagram short of having an assembly manual?
Truck really is looking great. UT playing Vandy tommorrow. Gotta work so I can't watch the game . Gotta root for Vandy because my wife works there.
