Rebirth of Ty 649

[TurboTony]

I posted about this truck way back when I first bought it. After looking at it for almost a year I decided to do something with it other than call it garage art, that's what the sy is for :roll:

Looked like this last tuesday before it went out for paint

And I just picked up all the cladding on friday from the painter

Should have the truck back from paint this week, then reassembly begins.

Garnet?

Re: Rebirth of Ty 649

Garnet?

Yep, spent most of it's life in AZ, no rust at all, just really badly baked original paint.

I bought it from the fellow who imported it up here. He was on his way to get it inspected when a woman clipped the front end and damaged the bumper, hood and grille. He was going to part it out, I ended up buying it due to my soft spot for sytys and the colour.

It will be a very nice truck with a new coat of paint, problem is I'm going to want to keep it in spite of the fact I have no room for it

Re: Rebirth of Ty 649

The main reason I'm takin so many pics is in case I decide to sell it that the new owner will understand the reason for the paint. NO rust in this truck, at all.

That is a sweet color. I'd love to see a picture of a Garnett next to a Red, just to see the difference. Can't wait to watch the progress on this truck. :tup:

Re: Rebirth of Ty 649

I'm sure a photo op with Cams Red/red will present itself at some point this summer. I'll post pics for sure.

Be nice to have something other than a black syty here this year, lol.

Truck isn't really for sale at this point, I just know how I am with vehicles. Don't need it, kinda want to keep it, meh, we'll see.

If I do decide to sell it I'll let you know Ken.

Re: Rebirth of Ty 649

Was just cleaning up my e-mails and found the pics of the truck after the accident.

Really was a fender bender.

Just figured I'd share so everyone could see just how minor the damage was.
