KDX Autopainting: redoing my dad's '71 gmc.

[Yaj Yak]

so my dad is getting his 1971 gmc 4x4 pickup repainted. he wanted just a "scuff and shoot" and it has gone a very tiny bit further than that...

a lot of you had seen the truck before and know the condition the body/truck was in- solid- but the truck having spent most of its life outside in wyoming- had dulled significanlty- truck became like a matte orange- i have no good pics really except for in the background of this one... from about 2-3 years ago.

and progress pics:

my little bro working on the cab corner/rocker

and getting close...

i love that color, my dad had a '71 when i was real young, green with white down the sides, 3 on the tree, was a real sharp truck

 

[Yaj Yak]

was it a chevy or a gmc? 2wd or 4wd? i love these things- especially with how many variations there are of them... you rarely see ones like this though- gmc first off and 4wd second...

your paint dude does good work

 

[Yaj Yak]

even when he isn't supposed to. my dad just wanted it shiny again... didn't really care about much more.

Our shop is the same way. We have a 63 Impala SS 409 car that was suppose to be a scuff and shoot. Well now it is like a full resto project.

We painted is fox body Mustang that is a 7 sec race car and now the dude wont race it because it is to nice. Its all carbon fiber body panels and crazy stuff.

Looks damn good! Can I ask cost? I have some parts off the 3000 that need to be refinished and I'm considering changing body guys.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i am honestly not sure- its a deal between he and my dad.
