The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Before & After pics of my 50

I posted new pics of the 50 in my yahoo photo link at the bottom of this thread.
It is finally finished and has about 1,300 trouble free miles on it. The bad part is that winter is setting in and it will have to be parked (well when the first snow flies) until spring.
What a feeling driving something that was built from scrap, most all the people that see it or drive past seem to like it, with a thumbs up or a wave.
It feels so good

Bill, very nice, you have ever right to be proud of the truck and your self.....wish I had talent..

regards,

Fred

Wilbur, I do like Your truck, and I commend You
on doing a fantastic job on a stovebolt...You earned
every thumbs up You get.....BB

Wilbur, you arn't that far from me, what ya want to paint my truck? Looks great.

Gazim, So many people ask me that, my answer is always no. Mainly because I can screw up my paint job and not worry about it, but if I screw up your paint job then I have to pay for it.
Get a good gun, read the tech sheets for ea. product and go for it.

Thanks for the offer but i'll have to pass. I'm going to stick with doing glass.

darn, that is one beautiful truck!

Beautiful truck, wilbur. You should be proud!

Wilbur,that is one fine truck.If mine turns out half as slick as yours,I'll be thrilled.

Joker you to could do it. Try it if it aint right do it over. Took me 12 years to learn to do it, but loved every second, now that I can drive it.(all orgional 53 3100)can't be happier. Good luck. Neal

Nice Job neighbor, Did you paint it in the garage? I don't see blue paint all over the froor and everything else! Been thinking about building a spray booth in the barn when I get ready with my '50, 3600.
You do glass? Got a website you can email me?

Denny,
Yep, did it in the garage. I wet the floor down then washed it out after I painted it. Everything else in the garage is blue but has since been cleaned. I also used an old bodyshop exhaust fan which really helped with the over spray.
I don't have a web site, sorry.

Wilbur

Very nice .Enjoy

That looks great. What did those seats come out of? how easy did they fit?

Looks good I like that color close to the color that I had on a 71 chevelle in high school it was 77 corvette firemist blue.

The seats are out of a 2001 Buick Park Ave.

They fit perfect but you need to fab up some mounts. I got the seats on e-bay for 199.00

The color is arrival blue it's a late model chevy truck color. code 5968
