The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Got "Mo'Tater" Painted!!

Hey Big Bolters! Just got back from my Summer vacation! More work,but FUN!! 2-weeks ago,I got my headers and dual exhaust stacks installed, and drove my '55 6500 on her first road trip to my favorite campground! On the way there,she was "loading-up,and had no power on the hills. When I got to the camp-site,I removed the air-breather,to find the choke 3/4 closed!! No wonder she was under-powered!! Left camp Memorial Day,and commenced on the body-work. just got her painted today(Friday,June 1st.) Now she runs GREAT!! Now I named her "Mo'Tater" Pictures on http://s1181.photobucket.com/albums/x440/willybickey/#!cpZZ3QQtppZZ16,then to see the rest of the photos, please go to "all albums". For some reason, most of the finished pictures are under the heading "sub-albums",and single pictures. Sorry for the hassle.

Sorry,but this photobucket link isn't working for some reason. I'll up-date A.S.A.P. Thanks.

>Your link< It's a formatting issue, delete that first colon.

Thanks,Vern! I'll give that a try.I also have a bunch of different pics on another link (photobucket) (sorry about the '48 Studebaker 2-ton-friend's project) http://s1181.photobucket.com/albums/x440/willybickey/#!cpZZ3QQtppZZ16

wetwilly The truck is looking good. I like the color. Is that original?

Thanks for the compliment! No,The color is my own mix. I used "Van Sickle" brand premium industrial "Case-International" red,as well as their premium primer. Then I added about a 1/2 quart of the same type premium gloss black,to achieve that dark shade of red. It looks GOOD,when contrasted with a white,or beige grill and headlight rings!
