2stacksuperdog Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Put some new "work boots" on the front. Put a new clutch and painted fan also. Hopefully putting radiator in this weekend and then the hood. 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/page/2/#findComment-173476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Looks good!You could probably use less rain to make some progress.Yeah it was snowing on and off all day and then we were putting the tires on it really started to come down. Stopped but got about 3/4 inch in about 1/2 hour, supposedly suppose to get hit hard Monday with snow want to get it back together before then.

2stacksuperdog Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Nice. Do you have a hood for it?Yeah we have 2 the one in the background came off our '78 and the one originally off it. We had the one in the background on it after we put the motor in and then some crack head(literally) backed into it so now both need to be fixed so were gonna put the original one on it since it is longer.

JumperAndSon Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Awesome! I love seeing projects like that. Not a perfect restoration or anything, just a neat old truck getting freshened up a little bit. Keep up the good work Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/page/2/#findComment-175189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 What color is the vizor going to be red or white 2stack.Idk if red it wont match cab because of fading, etc. but if white it will look like from another truck. Whats everybody else think? Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/page/2/#findComment-175436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Gold to match the lettering. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/page/2/#findComment-175438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 gold for the sun vizor? Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/page/2/#findComment-175440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yea pick up the colors from the lettering. Paint the hood red and white like you have it and do some striping or accents with gold and black to tie it in.

RFCDrum Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Or if you want to really tie it in paint the top of the hood gold with the visor. If you do white for the visor it will look like an unpainted visor unless you paint the roof white going straight across.
