I'm still here viewing the forum when I can as we still have not figured out why I can not post from my mobile as I use to be able to.
I post from the Library when I have time to go there but have to do it during the day and been real busy building this Chevy Avalanche
http://www.airbrushtech.info/AIRBRUSH/forum/showthread.php?18190-Kustom-Painting-Chevy-Avalanche
my phone was off for about a week and just got it back on thanks to the owner of the Avalanche,so that is why you hadn't seen me logged on lately.I won't be posting much or if at all till I get this truck done as the deadline is past due cause of extra work that needed to be corrected from previous bodywork and stuff that was just done unprofessionally or Hacked as I call it so seen a few where asking where I have been so that is the story.
Gotta jet, very busy and had to run in town for supplies so made a quik stop to library to post on the forum since ilyes texted me to see what was going on with me.
Thanks for caring everyone and wish I had internet at home so I could post at night before bed

Certainly looks like you've been busy Jeff. Nice job with the body work. Hate it's on a be donky donk but it's work none the less. Should certainly get some attention and draw in some more business.

Jeff, I was just getting worried about not hearing from you. I have more Mopar pics that I took at the museum. They are on my phone so it will be a little bit to get them to my computer. Dang, Those are some ugly rims.

Maybe the rims could have an "accident" and go away? I am certainly not a fan of Avalanches, but those make it worse.

sorry I have not been able to post lately but still can't post from my mobile and neck deep in the project above.It is now painted but sanding the clearcoat down on the exterior and reclearing it as I had a fishey problem and not sure if I have enough clear to sand them out and buff so I am reclearing the whole truck.
I have been working 16 or mor hrs a day on this truck trying to finish it but it's fighting me and giving me headaches.
When it's done i'll get the photos up of the new paintjob as it looks kewl but it's stin the garage and only sunlight does it justice.

For now I am on here reading what is going on but unable to make replies which sucks

Nice paint job and I like the details. Smooth fade - not all blotchy like most do. Cannot get past those awful wheels, though. Swap those and the truck will look sweet!

yah I know how to do a fade correctly as most try to fade one color on top the other and that is when they get the blotchy look.
Takes both colors to do a proper fade,one going up and the other going down to get a smooth fade transition and with a candy I had to do it twice as the base clors had to be faded then the candy colors
