Default Finally got the 53 PU painted
Well I finally got my 53 PU painted. The color is Midnight Blue. Also installed a new engine - 1951 Mercury bored .080 over, new pistons,
valves, adjustable lifters, 3/4 Isky cam, electronic ignition and red's headers. Runs great. What do you think ?

Great looking truck. Maybe some steel wheels with small caps in the future? They would look great.
