Looks amazing.

Wasnt my usual guy at all.
Interesting guy. IG famous. Does it out of his house. Has 53 cars there as of this week. Dirt cheap. Think midwestern boonies cheap. 50% cheaper than my 4 Tijuana ones. 95% cheaper than my usual guy.
recommendation?
If you want to flip on bat? no
DD on 405 which will last 5 years - yea

Appreciate the nice words! I think it turned out better than my expectations. Now goal is to put 10K miles on the truck this year
Wow and in your spare time????
In reply to AngryCorvair (Forum Supporter) :
Super common actually. Candy apple over black is the traditional form of a proper black cherry, bet you've seen it and never realized what it was. Candy blue over black works just as well, as do some of the candy greens out there.
Anyway, truck looks good. Make a nice little driver for sure.

Looks good. Any chance of getting some details on the painter?

Thanks, can't see the message though - should it show up on my dashboard?
In reply to Racingsnake :
It'll show up in the email account you registered with. At least unless you're using Yahoo mail.
Great truck!

Man, that's a gorgeous color. I had a small sad when you were talking about some shade of gray (I get it, you're trying to make money) so that red was a nice surprise.
Hopefully you got what you were hoping for price-wise. I bet the new owner is stoked.

Profit was $23K. Expectation was 15K. They had to have it due to color.
In reply to mr2s2000elise :
Ha, congrats! Sounds like you made a really good call on the red then.

Paint sold the truck. There is no doubt about it. I was iffy when I did it, but the greenbacks in the account say otherwise.
Time for another hunt.
