Looks good, like the wheels. I really like the bed on the truck, I just happen to need one those. lol
 
Pretty damn fine work....

You guys amaze me, you sound like a TV Chef, a pinch of this and a few drops of that and Voila, the perfect cake, errr color.
 
That car makes you appreciate how good a clean first gen can look.
 
Now all you need to do is tint your windows as dark as your old white 97, add some chrome 10 spokes and that will be the sexiest mark in florida.
 
lol neither can i, specially since the white is no where near the base color of the mark, but the mixture of silver base and royal violet pearl i put in the clear made it look so close, my buddy jake watched me mix the clear, he said is that what you are supposed to do, i said no lol, but its what i am trying, and it worked lmao!!

i will get the windows tinted, i did some work for a guys boat locally, and he owns a tint shop, he owed me a whole tint job on my 99 silverado, but i sold it, so now i'll tell him to do the mark instead. hey tommy, answer my pm, he said he hates chrome 10 spokes, i told him i'll trade him my silver ones, they are in amazing shape.

if you like the bed on my truck rooster i'll sell you the bed for $3,500 and you get the rest of the truck for free!!!

the car on the trailer is i believe a 72 volkswagen square back. belongs to my partners girlfriend, she wants to get it driveable again, its been in a garage for 7 years, last trip it ever made was from cali to florida and was parked.
 
I just saw one of those VW's being driven yesterday... thing had some terminal cancer... they don't do so hot up here...
 
Looks great mang! I always prefered the satin 10 spokes over the chrome.
I see you have the same tires as me, took about 30K to kill them with half of that going very fast on country road corners. :D
 
Wow... did you even wash it first?

I've been wanting to pick up this awesome three stage wash system, helps almost 100% eliminate the need for clay... I HATE claying...
 
it was washed less than a week before i clayed it but its just been sitting inside the shop. it needed it, it felt like sand paper.
