Thanks to my Dad and the guys at the shop, I've been getting lots of great pictures of the progress being made on the truck this week.. I haven't been to the shop since Friday, so I'm having major truck withdrawals.. Here are some new pictures from today!
Passenger side front fender.. I love this shot.. Look at how smooth and curvy the fender is.. This is what made the 1958/1959 pickups stand apart from the 1955-1957.. the Dual Headlights.. They give the truck a lot more character.. I love the way it looks.
Here is the drivers side front fender next to the hood and truck cab..
Another great example of how amazing the curves are on this truck.. the hood has a great design to it, and the paint really brings out the definition and contours..
The back side of the truck looks pretty cool with the slat impressions in the lower portion of the cab.. Its too bad the bed will pretty much cover this entire section of the cab.
Thunderpigs first taste of sunlight in months! Bringing the truck out to check out the paint in the sun.. Great work guys!
Eric and Ryan checking out how the reflection from the sun on the truck really brings out the shine of the metalic flake in the new paint.
Joe inspecting the doors and panels.. I have to say it again.. "Wow.. I've been waiting so long to see the truck finally get painted!" All of the work up till this point has been totally worth it!
Eric and Dad preparing the hood for the rhino lining.. Eric is taping off some of the hood so that only the hood panel itself will have the rhino lining, the bars and cross strips will remain shiny to give it a clean appearance when the hood is open. Great attention to detail on that one!
Dad doing a little bit of last minute sanding before Eric sprays the hood with rhino lining.. Check it out.. Dad's magic hand is back! He's sanding so fast all you see is a blur! :)
Here is a close up of the hood (notice the tape around some of the metal? That lets Eric spray the hood with rhino lining while keeping the support hardware clean with a smooth finish coat on it)
Here the tape has been removed.. You may need to click on the image to see the clean finish of the support braces next to the hood which was rhino lined.
Here's Eric spraying the rhino lining on the under side of the front passenger side fender..
Close up shot of the front fender with the new rhino lining sprayed on the inside of the panel.. !!RUST.. BE GONE!!
And there you have it!! The fenders turned out great and they really shine in the sun!
