Thanks guys. If he could talk to me he'd be telling me to get my *** to work on that car.

So, thats what i'm going to do.

 

[northerndave]

Thanks guys.
These are phone pics so they are low quality but I snapped these last night as well.

Funeral is this week, my uncle will be buried close to his son, who was my best friend, we lost him in 07.

I will visit both of them with my brown plymouth.

Sorry to hear about your uncle Dave. I remember a big smile on his face next to his yellow truck after you painted it for him.
Nice progress on the RR.

So sorry to hear about your uncle. You and yours are in our prayers...............Now get to work and finish that car!

 

[northerndave]

Not a bad day. blocked and prepped doors and trunk lid for final surfacing prime, then shot the primer. Even found time to clean up the bike after sitting covered with dust all winter.

Damn Dave! You are a real craftsman when it comes to paint too, car is looking great, I would not care so much trying to get the right mixture, I was told that the paint could differ from day to day when they built the cars too, if you ever park next too a factory painted car that cars paint will be over 40 years old so no one could ever tell what color is the right one.
The color you have choose is looking great!

Hey Dave, sorry to read about the loss of your Uncle, man, life is what it is, cherish every moment! Camera phones and regular SLR cameras are on par these days, hard to fault 'em! Love the T7 too!

 

[Gpuller]

Oh I don't know, the color looks a little "off" to me. ha ha ha

 

[TBONE]

Looks great Dave, cant wait to see the whole car painted!

 

[Photon440]

Dave, sorry to hear about your uncle. I remember seeing the old truck a few pages back. An old conservation truck if I remember right. The new and original paint photos look pretty darn close.
