i think that skull is badass

 

You know what bro, I think your on to something! Ive seen some awesome airbrushing, but its really hard to bring out a 3D effect without tons of practice and/or $. From what I see you have helped give new life to exterior body mods without the fear of being a copycat or " bolt-on clone "! I give the idea direction and process 10 stars. Now lets see what you do with it . . .

 

that skull is sweet, wanted to do something that style on my front axle housing on my 4wd with metal.. that looks bad ass though..i like the placement being random, gives it more.. flare? or something.. i say do some good body work around it smooth and keep the skull and bed!

 

LETS!!!


Just a little more fine tuning and sanding after this coat of filler primer dries i think its done






And yes....he has a bad tooth.
I thought it added a little nasty to his nice smile...lol

 

LARRY Rocks . . .

. . . thats so fuc*kiN' badass, you rock, Larry turned out really well, surely a huge improvement from what you had! Whew ! Larry's ALIVE !

 

Well,looks like you guys will miss some pics.
Just broke the usb port on the camera...
Have to buy an xD card reader.... :X

 

just a thought

just a thought.. would be kick ass to have his chin a drag block or something..well behind the metal and a little lower so you don't mess it up, that thing definetly kicks ass..

 

Thats a cool thought for when im ready to take it there!

On a side note....Anyone have an extra xD mem card laying around to sell?

Can be any size...were use to the 64mb on cam mem anyway...lol

 

now that i must say is the first time i seen anything liek that. thats ****ing bad to the bone good idea!

 

thanks guys
Quick question!

When you lower a long bed 81 in the rear with blocks, do they have to be angled or straight?
about 3-4 inches.
Have to drop static for now...when i get the wifes van and my s-10 paid off next year ill look into air for it.

 

Any updates?

Are you just painting the light surrounds/grill black?

 

Waiting on a flash mem card reader for my camera i ordered.
Not sure about the grill at this point.
Probibly just going to paint them black to match.

Got the base coat shot on the cab this weekend. have to wet sand and shoot one more time.

 

just curious, why are you wetsanding the base? what color?

 

The more sanding you do, the smoother it finishes.

 

yea, on primer and clear.. it's seems to be a waste of the more expensive material if you sand base for that reason (and some others), block sand the primer lay some base and slick out the clear.. block sand the clear without burning through and slick it out again, block sand, and buff to a show quality shine if that's the purpose chosen for sanding it..

just wasn't sure if there were some problems with the base, and if there were i would offer some help/advice if it was wanted or needed.

 

Well, I'm forced to paint outside so i have to get rid of any paint-nibs/bugs there are.
And I'm shooting it with a self leveling marine paint.so ill just be polishing that and not shooting a clear.

The color is black.

 

i paint outside 5 days a week so i know the frustrations that bugs and trash will bring.. but it makes for a better learning experience, deal with that kind of stuff enough and you will be a better painter for it. i get so spoiled when i actually get to paint projects and stuff in a good booth... but i can't wait for you to resolve the digi. situation so we can see the progress

YAY walmart finaly got a card reader in stock so PICS SUNDAY!

 

You're out of luck on the phantom grill. No one makes anything for these trucks.

I know its not a phantom grille but figured I would throw this out there anyways. I bought this some while back supposedly for the earlier trucks but it wasn't correct, it fits the later 79-80, 81? with the round headlights, its a square tube chrome steel, brand new, it is missing one of the square black plastic end tube caps but might be able to find one easily. I paid 50 plus shipping so I'll go from there if anyones interested.

 

Full tack coat on the truck!

WOOHOO its finally all one color.






AND!








WAIT FOR IT!!












LARRY!!
