i dont know if anyone would be willing to try this one out in photoshop, but this is the link from my myspace of my truck. i was looking for a black top tone on the body line of my truck and up if its possible. also lowering it maybe 2 in the front and 3 in the rear just to maybe show what it looks like...its a hard angle so if nobody goes for it, hey no problem man haha...here it is...remeber its the top body line and up i want it all black, so the hood would be black, the top of the bed would be black, and all straight accross from the body line up, all black...thanks ahead of time guys...if anyone attempts this can you send me a pm so i can check it out...lata

now i feel like s**t, because thats not how i tried explaining it...the black line would start above the door handles...from THAT body line and above...if its not too much, either hyperbuzzin or someone else, could u make the black a little darker with some gloss?...im sorry beggers cant be choosers, but if that was what i was looking for that would definetly give me the right idea...thanks again guys...remember the top body line and up...like the very top of the bed, all the way accross, and above, including the very top of the front quarter panels, the entire hood, surrounding the windows, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Opps, I think the moon was inline with Neptune when I posted that link.

 

Try THIS one.

 

(Actually, I tried linking right to the pic, instead of the album :confused: )

I see what ya mean. :crackup: Sorry, didn't mean to make ya feel like that. That's what's difficult about forums, several people could have several different ideas about the same thing.

I'll try it again. But I got to say, I certainly don't claim to be good at this stuff.

I just mess around with it, and hope things look right.

 

One thing I do have trouble with (as you noticed) is changing colors and keeping the glossy look, as well as body lines. If I made it any more black, all the body lines were gonzo.

 

There was a decent job done to the truck in THIS thread (look at post #2), by someone at fullsizechevy.com

Maybe give a shout over there too. And feel free to link to the above pic to let then know that's NOT how ya want it done. Just don't tell them that some weirdo web freak who thought he was all that and then some did a crappy chop job on your truck. Tell then I did it that way so they know what not to do :crazy: LOL

OK, so check out this one.....HERE

 

After I made it, I had a feeling you wanted JUST from the line of the edge of the hood, back.

I went a little bit below the hood line. Hope it's a little closer to what you were looking for.

 

Oh yeah, it does have a drop too.

hahah thats awesome man thanks a ton...im just trying to get an idea...theres a show called world of wheels held in boston every year and in 2005 i saw a tahoe with my color truck with a black top tone, and now that i see it a little more, i am definetly going with it...it looks amazing with some gloss you should see it! thanks again hyper your the man, i appreciate all your efforts!

 

ps if anyone else wants to take a stab at it by all means go for it. the one disadvantage of this picture is the mirrors and door handles have been replaced with cal-vu's and escalades so its hard to look at it correctly

We have the World of Wheels show here in Pittsburgh too. Some awesome vehicles there.

The bad thing about the one here, it's usually scheduled when the weather can end up being not so nice. At least that's how it's been the last couple years. For those that are trailer queens, if they don't have an enclosed trailer, they can expect to spend alot of time cleaning before the show starts !!

 

Glad that pic is a bit more what you were looking for.

I did try to add some 'gloss' to it, but it ended up looking more like someone attacked it with a nearly empty can of spraypaint :crackup:

And again, when I got it 'black' as in black, all the bodylines under it disappeared.

 

I would think there's got to be someone else here that can do a better job than I did.

 

So there's the challenge,

I don't think anyone else here can do a better job !!!!

So prove me wrong and fix this truck up right !!

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.

      Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.

      If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!

      Scan Equipment for 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas

      By davester · Posted

      I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
