Fresh Resto X (hmsgoodhope)

[hmsgoodhope]

Looks Awesome Dave! Could not be happier!!!!!!! Eventually I will find a new tailgate but I can see you did as good job as could be done on that as well. Doors absolutely look GREAT!!!!! Antenna mounts look great as well - like torpedo blisters on old battlewagons . Will finish up seats and rails next week - they should really pop against OD paint. Many many thanks!!!!
One proud owner signing off!!!!

Thanks!

Yep, only thing it really needs is another tailgate. That one is Toast! I think they took turns beating it with a sledge hammer...but that's also the easiest to replace.

Awesome Dave!! Now I know how you got my near impossible roof dents out!!

Are those treadwright tires?

I have a set and they are awesome.

Are those treadwright tires?

I have a set and they are awesome.

Brand/model wise, they are BFG All-Terrain T/As.

tires

Yep, they are BFG's TA's...the best IMHO.

I know Treadwright makes some VERY cost effective tires though.

Absolutely awesome work. That unit looks great.

Those stud guns remind me of the Indiana Jones movie where the pigmies are shooting their blowguns - hostile territory.

At least you know you are safe from pigmy attacks.

Great paint work as well along with your body work.

 

[linx310]

Yep, they are BFG's TA's...the best IMHO.

Yeap my Treadwrights are BFG TA sidewalls, that's why I thought they could be...

So far my treadwrights have been awesome.

Done!

Ok, this puppy is done. I am happy with the truck considering what kind of shape the body was in when I got it. It's a nice truck and should provide the owner many years enjoyment.

Ok....who is next!

Hi Dave!!!!!

Looks fantastic!!!!!!!

Wish I could do the M1009 this year but budget won't permit - next year for sure.
I am still working on wood for seats and hope to get staining done by Wed.
Can't wait to pick "betsy" up and show her off. Will bring antennas with me
(for ride home) for "max cool factor" even without radios installed.

I will keep looking for a tailgate - too bad I was too slow (and cheap) on that catch on
EBay - should have bought - and then haggled on shipping.

Very Very pleased!!

Folks - if your in the VA, MD area - Dave is "the Boss" on tricking out your very own SS.

Many thanks till I see you in person.

Excellent work that truck looks great. I love black bumpers on these trucks
Wish i was closer but 7 hours isn't too bad lol.

Curious what your average cost is to refinish a truck?

What kind of black paint did you use and what size tires are on the truck? I really want to paint my truck like this.

 

[WARWAG]
