1950 Chevy Truck

[jbiird317]

that is one amazing truck, i really like the exterior design and paint scheme, gives it a modern look but maintains a lot of the original style.

can i assume that this dash painting is the begining of the interior overhaul? if so, how are you planning on doing it? custom or classic?

The current plan is to paint the top of the cab, bed rails and inside of the bed sides either white or silver with pearl.

The darker part of the truck will be done in laser blue. Then I have a friend that will do hand pinstriping in red paint to break up the two main colors.

IT will be a little old & a little new in style. Then it will be an american truck painted red, white & blue.

Edit:

The inside I haven't really decided on yet. I'm thinking about a tweed that matches the outside paint scheme.

that is such a hot truck! It has sooo much potential. You can basically do anything and it will still look insane.

It was a beautiful morning with clear skys and temps in the 60's. So I went down town and took some roof top pictures.

is the black some type of flat or is it glossy? Each picture is showing a different finish.

The black is just rattle can black primer. It was a cheap way to get ideas for a paint scheme. I need to start buying new fenders and a tail gate as these current pieces will take more work than they are worth.

Now that its fall and the leaves are all changing colors I may have to go out and do another mini photoshoot.

In the military we call that "attention to detail"...which is good...

Actually the bottom half of the truck will be laser blue and the top will be a metalic silver with silver pearl.
