55/58 Chevy truck build

Nice job painting the bed. Did you have to crawl inside to spray the inside?

Thanks man. Yeah I had to crawl under the front panel and paint the inside. I also had to roll around on a wet floor on a creeper to paint the underside hard to reach places. Now doing that six times (3 coats basecoats and 3 coats of clear coat), no wonder I'm sore today.lol

That looks beautiful!

Thanks man I really appreciate that

Your pickup is turning out beautiful. That's one thing I would like to change in mine sometime, put in a column shifter and a front console.

Thanks man. About the column shift and the console "its nothing to it but to do it".lol

Great work! I really like the console. I'm going to do something similar on my 40. I just need to do what you just said. Get out there and do it. I just need to find that spare time stuff. :LOL:

Thanks man, and yeah I know a little bit about spare time. But with the way things are lately I have more now than ever, but yet it still gets filled up.lol

For those that are interested here is a video of my makeshift paint booth setup after I painted bed.

Thanks man. Yeah I did not want the gas filler in the center of the bed so I had to think of something different. Its good to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel finally.

Thanks alot man, much appreciated.

That's the same thing I have my Camaro parked in. Now it can double as a paint booth. Great idea Bam. That bed looks great!

This is an incredible build BAM - you should be VERY proud of all the work you have done to get to this point. The truck is absolutely beautiful. Hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy driving it this summer as you certainly deserve some relax time!! Be prepared for a lot of thumbs up and complements.

That's an understatement.
I agree with every word he said; but it's still an understatement.
