[Skools Out]

just spray paint from advance auto masked it off and painted
I first painted all white then masked off the whole area where the orig decal was then masked off and paint the 3" wide lite gold strip then masked off the gold i wanted to leave and painted the black. then taped off the hood and painted the red stripe and then cleared the whole hood with 3 coats then installed Johnson and 225 decals then cleared all with 2 more coats.

I haven't paint any of the rest of the motor yet that's next.

Great job, Skools...maskin' off all that fresh paint is where I run into problems...when I peel the tape off, the paint comes w/ it ...even happened once w/ the blue tape... ...

Do we still have that V-20 cash fund, so we can fly SKOOL around the states so he can work on all of our V's. Looking Good there SKOOL. Whats the due date on completion ?

wish I had a garage like that .... cant get my V in the 10x12 shed

 

[Skools Out]

Thanks Guys not sure yet hope to ask $9500 obo but that's due to the trailer i bought for her last week. i bought a Shoreland'r drive on trailer with brakes for the boat. plus now i've got to pay off my new Tahoe. Does anyone have a 99 Tahoe they tow with? i wonder how this one is going to do. i kept the diesel tahoe too though for little extra heavy towing. What ya think?

 

[macojoe]

Looks great!!

But I hate white!! Here in the NE the rust shows up fast!!

 

[Skools Out]

yeah i hate white too but when you can buy it over 5k under loan value you can't turn it down.

 

[willy]

Skools two questions, one when is the launch party ;D
Two are you going to use super model seating for that boat ???

I got a 1997 Tahoe with a 350 ci, and beefed up tranny, tows my Dads 6000lb Grady. Don't go over 50 mph though. I recently put helper springs in the rear to help with the soft suspension. Tows the V20 no problem though.

 

[macojoe]

I agree, I had to put 3/4 ton springs in my 1500 Silverado because it was to soft for my 30" camper

works great for the V20

 

[Skools Out]

yeah this one has helper springs and electric brakes  already installed. i hope it will tow the 250 boat's good. i've got to get under it and crank the front up to level it out. i hate an unlevel truck. i want to put some 285/75/16 tires on it too. that's what i have on the black tahoe but going to put 315/75/16 on it instead.

see here it is on it's current rubber
