*LB*Intimidator06 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Looking good man. Can't wait to see her all back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Don't want to get my hopes up without reason but I'm almost thinking I'll have my truck back by early next month. This guy is really kicking ass so I haven't bugged him one bit or asked for any kind of schedule. In the past I've had a truck and a bike in paint jail for what seemed like forever, and I've worked places where people's projects end up having birthdays at the shop...so I've seen the bad side of the business for sure.

Richard Your line about projects having birthdays in the shop made me laugh. I work in a boat shop and we have projects that have multiple birthdays before finally leaving. Makes me wonder how the owners put up with it. I'm enjoying your updates. Keep them coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Bed and rear bumper cover painted, he says everything is painted now, just sanding/buffing and reassembly left! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 That is freaking awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eberhama Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 he says everything is painted now, What about the giant dale sr. mural across the hood? Great big #3s on the doors? anything? you cant just use the puny little intimadator badges. That wont intimidate anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Lol...yeah no, no Dale mural or any of that stuff. Not ashamed to say it, I'm not a Dale fan, hell I'm not even into NASCAR. The path that led me to this truck was that I wanted a Silverado SS and I dig the Intimidator wing, so, there ya have it! Earlier I debated while having it repainted just going back with SS badges and no Intimidator scripts, but I figured after kicking it around that it was best to leave it factory so I cashed up for all the new badging to replace the old stuff.

1FASTBRICK Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 No one say's you have to put all the badges back on. Infact you might want to hang on to them just in case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think they are a bit gaudy, but I would want them on my truck if it were an ISS. They don't look terrible and they do set it apart. That bed looks slick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someotherguy Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 !!! A little ironic that the worst side, the crunched passenger bedside, came out crummy in the pic thanks to cloudy skies. Oh well! Truck came out GREAT! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
