Mopar - D Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Dave nice start on your Paystar looking forward to see more progress.
BigBad Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Nice Detroit/IH V800!!! Kiddings aside, this is looking really good! I never thought light green, orange and red would look good together, but they do! Good project, I'll be watching this.

I never thought light green, orange and red would look good together, but they do! Good project, I'll be watching this. thanks...i didn't think so ether ..i had just planed on pumpkin orange for the frame & fenders,cherry red for the cab+hood,and red toned down with a matte clear coat for wheels,winch-tower and the bed ...the cherry red didn't look good at all with the orange..so i re shot it with the Alpine green (Detroit green)..i like the way it turned out also..
RyanSilva Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 I dont think Ive seen Daves tires/wheels on a Paystar before, what a good match! Awesome rig, I'll be watching
Scalper Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 I like the wheels are turning out nice with the paint.
Swamp Dog Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 well today i got some chrome on cab ,added screen to grill,put in motor and drive train..added tires and weathered out..
Mopar - D Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Dave your making great progress on the Paystar the colors look great. I look forward to seeing more

Swamp Dog Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 pretty cool...but Why the red wheels and bumper?...shouldnt they be orange?...or where they replacements out of there salvage operation?.. that would have been to much orange,i still got to build a bed and winch tower for it...Dave
