Here's a quick one we did, a 59 Apache colour change from burgundy to blue. We also painted the interior two tone blue and silver, I'll get pics of that later.

Here it is just getting stripped apart.

We took the box into Toronto to get chemically stripped at Techno-Strip,

Image


We had to dig out a lot of bondo and weld in a few patches to the lower front fenders,

Image


The last guys had painted everything inside the cab but the gauges red, we fixed all that,

Image


The box was in surprisingly good shape after the dipping,

Image


I'm still using a buddies booth until I get mine up and running,

The box and fenders got painted after the cab,

Notice the fleetside inner fenders to get the required space for the drag radials lol. We also sprayed a bed liner in it,

All done and re-assembled,
