Gas Saving Beatrice

slonlow2000 · 10-04-2008, 04:58 PM

Yeah thats what me and my dad were thinkin since they were painted, The bow tie looks awesome I was hittin it with some steel wool so I could repaint it then noticed it was blue underneath so I left it like that. Looks old now, and badass

coloRADo_S10 · 10-05-2008, 01:55 AM

YA? thats sick! I painted it blue from the original gold when i got in the wreck. Then black when i fixed the front.lol

I wanna get some billet chrome window cranks and get some good condition .50 cal shells and put them over the crank.

But we"ll see. I don't always go in the same direction i thought i would.

coloRADo_S10 · 10-06-2008, 02:07 AM

Started on the console. Before and after.

before

after

door installed with new 6.5 rockford fosgates

fdimeroller · 10-06-2008, 02:14 AM

that armrest deff looks much better on the center console.. i love that flat black on the door panels tho

coloRADo_S10 · 10-07-2008, 02:44 AM

Check it out mother ****ers!!!!!!!!!

and inside.........*gasp* amazing!!!!!!

fdimeroller · 10-07-2008, 03:09 AM

thats pretty cool

coloRADo_S10 · 10-07-2008, 03:12 AM

I call it the LUMBERJACK EDITION.lol

oh check it out! PAGE 3!

circa · 10-07-2008, 03:47 AM

as much as i dont like flanel/plaid
the look they create when people do it (in trucks) is amazing.

coloRADo_S10 · 10-07-2008, 10:38 PM

I have deff had mixed reviews on them,but i made them for me and i love how they came out. I didn't think they would look as good as it does. As i continue with the LUMBERJACK EDITION with the headliner and my drivers door panel and the seats. Im sure it will look awesome.

slonlow2000 · 10-08-2008, 01:29 AM

I wonder how some flannel inserts would look on a first gen bench seat...

coloRADo_S10 · 10-08-2008, 01:48 AM

bad ass!!!!!!!!! but you're asking the wrong guy.Im biased

coloRADo_S10 · 10-09-2008, 01:27 AM

I hope to get my drivers door panel done so i can start on my headliner. Also need to go get some black tweed for the visors and the seats. I hope i get the seats done. When i don't know. But i just hope to get them done. Lol id like to do them myself to save money but i dunno if im that talented. If anyone has any hints. LET ME KNOW

coloRADo_S10 · 10-09-2008, 12:37 PM

Awesome!!!!So i got an email this morning telling me that when i am done with my hammer, in my machining class that, the teacher is giving me 5 days to make whatever i want. Im thinking im gonna make some stainless steel window cranks. We'll see. its a couple weeks away and a couple projects ahead.

coloRADo_S10 · 10-09-2008, 01:27 PM

So i am contemplating whether or not to pinstripe the interior. This is what i wanted to put on my console. what do you think?

I am not good by any means. This is my first.

slonlow2000 · 10-11-2008, 01:12 AM

looks pretty damn good for a first try I would do it but I want stripes on my truck

99street10 · 10-11-2008, 01:35 AM

The stripping looks good for a first attempt. Just a little tip, it is ok to sketch out your design first, it helps when your learning

Maybe he means chalk the design onto whatever your painting, and paint over or beside the chalk marks?

coloRADo_S10 · 10-15-2008, 02:06 AM

Thats a good idea too. I will do it soon. I Just need to tweek the design. Obviously. lol

coloRADo_S10 · 10-15-2008, 02:52 AM

I also just bought these. So i will need to find a way to put these on. But i think they will look tits!

slonlow2000 · 10-15-2008, 12:51 PM

What are those off of, their badass!

coloRADo_S10 · 10-15-2008, 07:56 PM

60's impala!!!!!

dimeon15s · 10-16-2008, 01:09 AM

Sweet project, i wish i had a nice daily like this. The pinstripes look good too! I never draw mine out before i stripe tho.

coloRADo_S10 · 10-16-2008, 02:49 AM

so you think i should leave the imperfections in it. Or are you just really good?

slonlow2000 · 10-16-2008, 01:06 PM

He's not half bad, he's got some he did in his first thread. Yours is still pretty badass tho

GreaseMonkey74 · 10-16-2008, 01:31 PM

Truck looks great. You would happen to want to get rid of that old grill would you?

the_fabricator · 10-16-2008, 09:42 PM

what are your buckets out of?
i have the same console and it never fit
my buckets are out of a mid 80's camaro

coloRADo_S10 · 10-16-2008, 11:16 PM

Monkey i cut my grille up. Check a few pages back.

fabricator I got My buckets out of a 84 s10 blazer.

coloRADo_S10 · 10-24-2008, 08:14 PM

Today i was able to put my bravada bumper on and a front valance. Check out the pics.

Kiko · 10-24-2008, 11:42 PM

coloRADo_S10 · 10-25-2008, 01:05 AM
