Nice build really like the dash you are doing looking forward to seeing it done. Oh and yes I did subscribe:)

Re: 1985 Super Sierra
 

Dash and Jambs are done. I really dig the matte clearcoat it gives the metal a soft look. Started installing the Vintage air kit and all the electrical. Its fun trying to figure out how to make the Painless harness work with the A/C harness, 8.1 Vortec ecm harness, and the Dakota Digital gauge harness. Lots of unused wires. Also considering using this 59 GMC emblem in my billet grille[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]Attachment 1564479[/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

built my own 3" exhaust with Hooker Aerochamber mufflers.

Ididnt like the kink in my fuel fill line so I ran some hard line. Which makes it much easier to remove.

Really like the 32" Lokar nostalgia shifter. Now I have to find the perfect knob for it.

I think I will make my own emblem to resemble this one. Its pointing down to much being on a flat grille.

Got a spare stepside bed and some rough fenders so I believe I will build me a bar like this one for my shop.

Re: 1985 Super Sierra
 

Had a couple other little projects going between paychecks. I decided to make the back wall of my shop look like fake store fronts.

I payed homage to my first hot rod with a sketch of my 1970 Chevy panel truck.

If you have one of those awful reproduction tailgates that dont fit for s*** consider making good use of it. I took mine to two of my friends from instagram, @jeremykempart for some kicka** pinstriping and @handyhinch built the bench out of rough cut cedar. Almost too pretty to sit on.

Re: 1985 Super Sierra
 

I have to give some artistic credit to @C10Crew for the killer coloring book that helped me do my panel truck sketch on the wall. I assure you there will be many more of the C10s from this book getting drawn on my walls.

One more bench from @handyhinch and @jeremykempart made from an old tailgate that was just taking up space at my shop. I cant get enough of these guys work.

Re: 1985 Super Sierra
 

Got a sweet set of seats from a junkyard this week. I couldn't believe how good of shape they are in. Got the new brackets fabricated, now just need to remove the headrests and have the reupholstered. Going with a dark charcoal with the blue plaid inserts.

Re: 1985 Super Sierra
 

Too dang cold and snowy to get much done on the truck today so i decided to play with photshop. I did a little interior design, forgive my ametuer photoshopping. The plaid pattern will be much smaller in real life. I think the third panel is my favorite. Tell me what yall think?

First attempt

Re: 1985 Super Sierra
 

I like your ideas on the interior. I would try to balance out the amount of the plaid on the door panels to be more inline with how much is on the seats. You don't want the doors to over power the interior in my opinion.

Thanks for the suggestion aggie91 I am trying to find the right balance. My wife suggested the full plaid door panel. I was a little iffy on it as well.

I also picked up a new daily driver. 93 K2500 with a 454/4l80e. I put some new rims and tires on it and a 3in bodylift. Also been helping a friend with his sick new suburban and yes it does have a Blazer top on the back.

Playing around with some grill ideas. I like the 68 style but I believe the 60 grill is the winner. Im going to pick one up tomorrow to see if it will work to my satisfaction.
