Mopar - D Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Wow! This is going to be one really sharp looking rig when you get it all together. It already looks better than the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Impressive work all around, but kudos on your masking and paintwork on the cab. Beautiful work! David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Thanks, guys. Making a start on the interior now, I'm going with beige and brown. I've done the dash and seat inserts in beige and the interior tub in brown but I might invert the colour combo cos I'm thinking the dash and seat inserts should be darker? I don't know, I'll see how it looks when I fit it together, if I don't like it I'll switch it around. Here's a bit of a sneak peek of the cab on the chassis to give an idea of how it will look completed. I'm glad I went with the blue frame, I'm liking it!

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I really like this paint job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Interior tub is all done. Not much in there to detail really other than the dash so I didn't go wild in there, though I did choose a very fetching shade of green for the bed blanket, well it is the 70's and avocado green is in!

doorsovdoon Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 ..and she's done! I'll post better pics in underglass tomorrow. Looks almost identical to the picture, I'm pretty chuffed with how this one turned out, just needs a trailer now, which will be my next build:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Looks great mate, very brave on the masking for paint on the cab, I just can't summon up the courage (or the patience) to jump in and mask stuff off, too scared of ruining a job. This turned out fantastic. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This turned out fantastic. Well done! Cheers mate. Yeah, it's always nerve wracking when you have to mask your own lines. I find silver foil ducting tape and Tamiya tape are the best things to use for masking as they don't bleed the paint or absorb it like normal masking tape.
