Blast From The Past Thread

Nope, terrible drivers and terrible prep work in some cases. Everyone told me that black is the hardest color to spray.

Black paint is a b*tch. Body work has to be perfect, sanding has to be perfect, spray can be just good, but then you better be a pro at cutting and buffing.

Did you upgrade from it? I regret mine but had no choice the motor was leaking like a sieve and wasn't worth the money to put into it at the time

I traded it to a friend for a K1500HD pickup. Basically was a half ton with a 14 bolt rear. The bed on it was rusted out and I made the mistake of being a cheap *ss and buying the cheapest rust-free bed I could find, which happened to be a step side. I later learned the hard way that I hate step sides. The bed space was ridiculously small, it was impossible to find a tonneau, cap or bedliner that fit it, and I though it looked ugly. I ended up selling the truck not long after. Here it is before I swapped the bed. Oh, and I did eventually replace that cab corner too.

I replaced the red truck with the '95 Ford F150 I own now, which was super rusty at the time I bought it. I drove it for a while, fell in love with it, and fixed it up so that it would be rock-solid and look good. I'm not getting rid of it anytime soon.

My first Gbody my 78' Grand Prix and later my 81' Regal that I had at the same time when I bought my Monte and I had to choose between one of them and sell the other, so we all know how that ended.

Sharp looking 150 you got there, my buddies kid is gonna be rebuilding one that his grandfather gave him but is all rust at the moment. We have a fresh bed sitting down the shop for whenever they actually get started on the project.

Thanks, I replaced the bed on my F150. The support rails were solid, but the floor was paper thin. I bought a solid used one from a guy who was in Clarion, and he delivered it to my shop for an extra $50.
