Project Stance: 1965 Chevy C10

[softg]

^ that's what I'm saying. I'm really digging the door panels, knuckles, opener, and the copper panels but the grenade is killing it for me. I think if you'd bring back the copper thing with the shifter you'd be jazzed about it. the only other thing that gets me is the major differentiation with the copper paneling and it's patina, it can be insanely difficult to match that effect. you may think about not clearing them and letting them color as you interact with them. although I dig the patina as it fits with the age of the c10, I think a brushed finish on those panels, and the knob if you decide to go that road, would be the business. not too mention the copper may be an accent that you'd like to carry over into the rest of the truck and it contrasts incredibly with the flat black you're planning. making copper paint look as if it's brushed is easy as well. also, how are you planning on putting the bed surface together? really digging this build man

I've been thinking the same, it's a bit too heavy too. I will see how it does while driving. I love the knob but I'm wondering if it's too much, I have the bottle opener, and brass knuckles, and the copper panels. I don't want it to be over done.

Thanks man, did you see the vid above, there is some audio. I love that the camera shakes when i tap the gas. But yes, rolling vids in full paint and the 3" white walls will be dope!

I did indeed, I was meaning that, when this bad muthafucka is done, the videos of it rolling and making rumble rumble will be insane. keep up the great work, although I'm not a fan of the grenade shifter, needs something a bit different in my opinion. custom lathed copper rod?

I've wanted a c10 seance i was little and this just makes me want one even more. It looks amazing!

[yusoslo]

Lots of little things. I welded and filled the holes in the bed. Fixed the binding universal joints that where binding on the steering rack. Finished all little odds and ends, added more grounds. Reprimed the truck. I forgot to take out the port-0-walls to install.



Brass knuckles mounted. Old radio template is being welded in tomorrow.


Fiances door panel is installed

this thing is going to be a beast once I put my spintech on it and install the crossover pipe, I'm too low for an X pipe.
