Boyd Coddington and Chip Foose ain't got nothing on us, except...

...talent, a budget that includes money, knowledge of cars, air tools (well, at least a little more than two screwdrivers and a pipe wrench), a paint booth, a paint gun, really good paint guys...(did we mention TALENT?)
We just have a paint chick. She has no prior experience, unless you count those bird cages she repainted back in high school...the birds weren't nearly as picky as John is... Nevertheless, with all John's hard work being exposed to the elements daily (you know, the usual oxygen, Arizona humidity, and don't forget those spiders), we decided that a few layers of primer protection were warranted inside the cab.
The dash is starting to shape up. If nothing else, a little gray primer sure cleans things up a bit.
Maybe it's just us, but we see a huge difference in the truck compared to 2 1/2 weeks ago. The front grill is driving Tracy crazy, though, so if anyone has any grand ideas, we're taking suggestions...
Ah...those famous white wall tires.... John is so in love with them that he wants them in every picture of the truck. We may have only worked on the inside of the cab today, but John still had Tracy roll the tire on out so we could see how it looked in this light. Wow, doesn't it make that primer pop? Oh, I guess he could have opened the door if he wanted to see the real difference. Or we could have just rolled out the tire and taken its picture on its own...

Mang i mean chickida ess truck she ess staring to look ok jess.

Or in 1950s lingo, farm out man thats cool alligator. Now ya need to shvae, slam,french, deck, louver, scallop and lead that bad boy up.

And of course ya need to cook the bricks with your seatcover. Down to the Artic circle and chomp on a bag of skinny tates.

Or you coukld just give JS a broom stick and have him roll the tire around the block.

Oh yeah a pair of Appletons would be awesome. (send john to the computor for that one)

Say cookettes can ya lend me your comb. (you'll have to go too the granny crowd for that one)

The grill needs to be chrome. Shiny shiny chrome.
