Yep, the rear wheel wells are free of rust 110%. ;Sweet
New paint down both sides and on the engine hood w/new pinstripe all the way around.
Once again my creem puff looks like it just left the show room...now only if diesel was .51 cents like it was 20 years ago when I bought it new.;Really

I still need to get those fuel senders in...at the BOOB rally ;Sweet :D:rotflmao
Still hoping to make it for a full Saturday and visit with the great group of people I meet back in 2003 :thumbsup:

Pictures please :popcorn

I'll take some new one tomorrow but...it looks like it just came from the showroom...the same truck in my avatar. My total repaint from 9 years ago still looked fresh however the two rear wheel wells started to rust and made me crazy. Now I get to be crazy about something else...anything else cookoo :D

Man, a lot of repaints going on lately LOL! I have my 93 and my 97, and I have decided to get my 97 completely repainted. The 93 can wait and it was a Southern truck, and it is also a project truck. My 97 is my baby, so I am dropping 10K on her for a full repaint (removing window glass, weatherstrip, etc.) so there will be no tape lines. Exspensive, yes, but a new beast is 50K and they suck!:D

This "new paint" thread isnt anywhere nearly as interesting as the other "new paint" thread. LOL

LOL...it looks just as good as always but no more rusty rear wheel arches. Both WHOLE sides were painted for color match. New pin stripe and the engine hood was painted too. Truck looks showroom.
