You could do a badass looking red baron snoopy. The skull is looking good though!

 

Thanks Guys for all the ideas, Im running out of time so Im not to sure how much airbrushing I will be able to do. I wanted to do a lot more but I want to get this thing painted before the bugs start flying around so that means Im painting it this weekend.
I just finished up cutting these stencils. I have a few more to go.

 

Took all day Sunday and some of Monday Morning until 5 am, its a done deal happy to start moving on.

Here are a couple quick pictures, I plan on getting alot more pictures but I will wait until I cut and buff it.

 

Yesss! I'm happy to see paint on this! Looks great, keep up the good work

 

Thanks Chevyriders,, me too... I got to cut and buff some today.

 

looks good, we are paddling the same boat as far as the frame off work is concerned, i like the way you did the frame treatment.
i did the old fashioned wire brush and pressure wash, it would appear we dont have the rust problem you do.
i am putting my 97 4x4 jimmy chassis under a 54 dodge panel truck, odd i know, but i couldnt resist the mater look.
looking forward to seeing your progress pix

i need to upload pix with engine and xmsn
separation, hillbilly style
air brakes holding nicely

 

Hi boudreaux55
Thanks for sharing... I think that's actually a good idea, will be cool once its all done. Was the Dodge Panel Truck originally 4x4? Your frame looks to be in really good condition.

 

I run into a couple problems tonight. Its got me stumped on how to fix it. If I open the rear drivers side door while the front drivers side is closed it wants to rub. Check the picture. I think this was a problem before I painted it and I wish I would have paid closer attention to the area but I didn't and now I'm pretty sure it will rub the paint off. Far as I know there is no way to adjust the doors



and holy cow, for the life of me I cant get the front exterior door handles hooked up. I cant fit my hand up inside the door and if I attach the linkage and lock cylinder from the outside I cant get the handle in the hole.

 

Its pretty much done. I still need to get new wheels, but other than that the exterior is done. I still need to do some interior work, fix driver's seat, new radio, I need the plastic trim piece for the tailgate, and a couple more interior trim pieces but Im ready to drive it. This week I will get plates, insurance, and an alignment.

 

It looks great, I like that color a lot.
