farm truck update

ericlb · Jan 9, 2014

just a update on the old farm truck im refurbishing, i shot the paint yesterday it came out good considering its outside, still got some more to do but its begining to look like a truck again, to recap im doing this for a friend he bought this 1957 chevy brand new, and still owns it, back in the early 70's when pickups got to where they could haul a trailer faster than this old girl will run it was parked beside a barn, it never moved, untill i picked it up last year

should have added this is the original color it had when i removed the hood ordament there was a patch of perfectly preserved original paint under it, i took the hood off and went to town and had the original color matched

Looks good. How did you manage to get a day with no wind.

Up here in the frozen waste land if you tried to shoot paint outside you would have paint cubes ding the sheet metal. Still 58 degrees below comfort levels.

When I first saw the pic I thought it had snow and frost on the grill and windshield. Then I looked around and no snow on the ground.

I think I need to go visit and watch him paint while I thaw out.

I guess it was you somebody told me the other day I was close . Came East to west on 380 I am thinking. Went down to Alamogordo and out at Las Curces ..Just love that part of the country. Somebody on here was around Hundo valley. Think I may come back out before long.
