That rig IS similar mine, I think thats Loomis' 60. My mates showed pics of every chopped 60 they found when I started mine. That is a nice rig:clap:


Amazing that 2 dudes can build a truck 600 miles apart and have the cabs nearly identical. I think thats cool:D

If I dont go with the silver, I will probably go pink, only for the wow (or that dude must be crazy, wierd, different) factor

For your consideration:

not quite pepto bismol pink,

but still pink

edit: the front valance was spray painted red


Here is another pic:

This yellow rig belongs to mudder BillyGHusk

You are right about that, I will get looked at funny, but at least i will be getting looked at. LOL. Lavender......................nah

yellow with pink wheels, hmmmm pity my wheels, tray, and barwork is blue, otherwise it might have got a run


Everyone will have to wait and see what colour it turns out................I still have no idea

Well, I am back out in the shed, Block sanding in preparation for some paint. I have decided it will be painted come hell or high water! Colour will not be revealed until photos are up. I will post some lead up pics tomorrow:cool:

Paul
 
hey mate would are you spraying your rig in your shed? just wondering if ya could help me paint mine some stage, i can pay by slabs of beer or money. just gotta finish fixing the electrical junk.

cant wait to see the finished product, actually cant wait to see it with my own 2 eyes.

good luck with the painting.

Yeah mate no worries, if you are not in a hurry anything can happen. My work is painfully slow and frightfully expensive in beer costs, But hey it will happen.

Dont loose faith mate, your electrical woes are nearly over, I can feel it
you will be :steer: shortly

:cheers:

Paul
 
Paint has been bought, It is in my 2 hands right now, there will be colour on my rig shortly. I am not going overboard with the body work but I am expecting good results.

I will post up some progress shots shortly, need to do some more rubbing first

Cheers

Paul
 
paint is on, at least on the body, I have paint all over me. Looks ok too, needs a couple of repairs but, I like it. Look for the finished product in ROTW. Hope secrets can be kept.

Well, I have my rig up as a ROTW so I guess I can post some pictures of it to this thread, so here goes

in the 2 months I mentioned earlier i managed to get all of the hanging panels (doors, guards, bonnet, and valance) in primer ready for paint

here is the final rub down ready for paint later that night
