Have to think about that.
Hey DADS50, I am liking the color scheme on that truck. Hope mine turns out looking that good! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 95 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 95 | | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 544 | Have them scuff the orange, and shoot over it with all maroon! But that is the Aggie in me talking. Most any shade of orange is way to close to burnt and t.u. colors for my liking. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,001 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,001 | Interesting topic about team colors. I am painting my '52 the original Mariner blue which just happens to closely match half of my son's high school colors of blue and yellow. I will apply yellow pinstriping and that is as far as I am willing to go. Incidently, the truck is gettign restored for my HS Freshman to drive when he turns 16. I know, but it is the slowest "cool" vehicle I could think of at the time. Yes, seatbelts will be added along with AC which should really slow that 216 down. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 44 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 44 | The orange does look great! I think the two tone is going to look great too!

Do you? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 222 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 222 | You are right hd4unm, its got to be orange and maroon. The story behind this is that the VA Tech bookstore has a Hokiemobile contest every now and then. I want to win it next time. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 233 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 233 | Yeah, my dad let me buy a 40 Chevy when I was in HS. He would not let me pick it up which I thought was strange. Turns out he bent the throttle rod and it would only run half throttle. All he said when I exclaimed that I fixed the throttle was HUH!

I have a good friend down there that brings the lunch box RV to the football games. This is how I know. Maybe fab up a big tool box size lunch box for your bed. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | ...pic...
