What's wrong with a 40K paint job on a 50K truck?

HA! I wasn't going to -- but thought it would help out The Roadster Shop.... LOL

nice pick up....I know someones gonna say it....don't just clear it. That thing deserves paint.

Just about everything... :smiley_smack:

a faux patina paint job would be ok.....and a faded A**holes garage door sign.

I think I'll let Gwen call the paint on this one.... that will give her some ownership in the project. So will wait until she sees it @ Pinkee's in September on our trip... and let Eric toss out some ideas etc. She saw a couple '40's at LA Roadster show she really liked and that worked for me too... so we'll see. I'm trying not to turn this into another hot rod --- I want to toss steel in the back - dogs - Costco runs... ski's.... and that would allow me to ditch the super boring F-150. I envision this as a real life every day work truck that gets used. Thus nothing fancy and hard to clean. Wash it with a hose. Done. Steelies and dog dish... bigs and littles... work truck with an attitude... and something more fun than a new car.

I learn something new about you every day.
If they still have this in 2016 I'm going, no bs. Can I leave my car at Weld's Shed? I'll have to order a taller set of gears and put on some Michelin PS2's.

Oh hell yeah!!


Stay at the Weld compound too! Or in other words, a cot in the shed.

They told me this year Bugatti will have 16 Veyron's there. The event itself - is sold out.

I can't think fast enough - or react fast enough - or drive good enough for Auto X.... and I'm not interested at all in driving for 60 seconds.

On a road course - I get to warm up - run the same turns multiple times - mess around with entry turn in - braking zones - gears - and spend 20 minutes on track - at which time I'm worn out and need 40 minutes of rest. :>)

A Roush motor'd, RS chassis'd grocery getter. Nuttin' fancy.

I freakin' LOVE it! Just don't take forever to build it, lol.
