there Valspar Low Gloss Black is JD Blitz Black

Exaclty what I'm going to use on my 65' Continental. I've got pretty much the same idea you have, bag it, and drop it to the ground.

Looking good! You've got some serious work into that.

Glad to see you made it over here and brought the build thread with you. Love where you are going with the truck, and I must admit its a small detail but the biggest part I am looking forward to seeing finished is the loadstar dash. I know its a long ways off but any idea on what else you will be doing to the interior? Maybe continuing with the loadstar theme?


Also just thought of it, but any chance you might be able to have the truck all together to bring to Englishtown in September? I would love to get a chance to see the truck in person.

Should I keep the hope alive? I know you will be at rre anyways... But it would be more fun to see that thing go down the track

It was a thought but ive always told my self that trucks u build don't get trailered to events... So I'll deal with not having it there and wishing it was running the entire time
