While the cab was in the body work booth getting final sanding and the bottom bed lined the back half of the truck was in the paint booth making the transition from busted up to BMW blue and beautiful. As usual Bob laid down some sweet hue which after curing will get buffed to a glass-like finish. To be continued...

Maaaaan....I love me some blue. Just about any shade of it too.

That is a killer shade of blue!

Awesome color!

Thanks fellas!

"Hey, hey we're jammin'" ... and sprayin' ...

Laying down the base coat on the cab and you can't help but think this blue shade even looks nice in satin too, right?

This going to be a killer driving truck . I like the color . Like flush mount glass. Also like the stance

Paint is all done. chassis is all powdercoated, next step is final assembly. we will have is all semi assembled in the next week or so and sitting on the wheels hopefully in 2 weeks this will look amazing at ride height!!
I am really excited to see this one.
A little back ground, the FIRST vehicle I purchased with my own money (I was washing cars at the local ford dealer for 2.25/hour) was a 53 F100, I started building a hot rod it has a 350 olds engine in it and i built some drop spindles i media blasted it and actually got it running and sitting on the wheels before i abandoned it. that was a couple years ago lol, so it will be really cool to see this one done.

My second "car" was a '56 F-100 == dark blue bottom - white top - 6 cylinder 3 speed column...... with Uniroyal Tiger Paws..... LOL


Was a great truck -- just add 2 or 3 quarts of oil daily.


I towed SEARCH LIGHTS with it -- 60" carbon arc lights -- and I think I made about $1.75 an hour at the time.

Great stories!

Initial mock up of body panels on the F100. Hmmm, maybe 2 tone isn't necessary after all?
