Well it's not bad for my first attempt at bodywork and painting. What say you?

OH man! N-I-C-E! I love the color, lol. I remember years ago seeing trucks like this still in the fleet when I started with the state, in that color, but yeah very nice way to go!

Interesting color

sure does look good and will stand out from other trucks on the road. I like your gage cluster too.

Keep on posting pics of your progress.

It's Go Mango/Vitamin C Orange. My first Mopar was a 70 RR done in that color. My neighbor nicknamed it "the Pumpkin". With the black interior I think it will look like a Halloween Special. Another neighbor said all it needs is a Bronco logo and then I might get free tickets.

Covered the door panels with 1/2" foam and marine black vinyl and am doing the same on the recessed headliner. Also thinking of making the same panels for the kick panels in front of the doors, under the dash. I'll post more pics over the weekend.

You GO MAN GO!

I like that color for your truck! Bright colors are so refreshing to look at considering all the bland and boring colors on cars today. Look around next time your on the road, all you see are silvers, grays, whites, blacks, taupe... eh... can you say, BORING!! Of course, you seen the occasional red cars usually with girls driving them. OR... you see red Jeeps (not necessarily girls driving those)

See the CD: 03 PHOTO HISTORY (with text) and then, folder #36 Headliner. I am not sure what he has in mind for his headliner, but just in case you missed it...

When you mentioned you were going to paint it Go Mango I thought it would be the modern version of it that looks more Bronze. It looks good either way.

Hey JimsRatRod

You need to hurry up and finish this and bring it to the Colorado Cruise.

Looks really nice...

Is it a Swepty or a Ute?

Nope, I had to put the project on hold due to funds. I just sold my Hemi Dart project so now I can concentrate on my truck.

Great job! And the color is eye catching to avoid someone from running into your rig.
