Sound deadener and carpet are smokin' hot..........
If I had the funds I'd hop a jet and be there in a sec to help toss on the hood.
Lookin' really good.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Top notch man!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

yeah bro, we're here...looking for the shrink wrap and a 8' pallet. haven't talked to upholstery guy yet but will get out there Friday... ahhhh TGIF... beer:metal:

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Thank you very much for the compliment!
It has been a lot of work, but sometimes I even look at it in awe!

I am pretty sure that I bought 100sq. ft. and there isn't much left, but I also did inside my door skins & door panels..

stockinteriors.com Nice stuff, but I am going to end up buying additional to do cab corners & higher on the firewall...

Thanks Greg! I still can't wait to see the seat!

Thanks a bunch!

You must not have checked the mail before posting this, but I had confirmation on the shrink-wrap I sent!
Cannot wait buddy! Thanks!

Hey guys!
I spent the last two weekends sanding & rubbing this thing!
What a huge amount of work!!!
I started off wet-sanding with #1500 grit and did a combo of wet-sanding by hand and using a D-A with #3000 grit.
The pictures don't really give any justice to how nice it really looks.
I am thoroughly pleased!!!
3M makes some nice products, but you get what you pay for...
Here's a few pics.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Love that color.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Relax man, LOL!
I was all ready to do it this weekend, but decided to spend some time on a friends boat instead...gotta have fun too!

Sincerely, thank you!
I am so scared just moving it around in the driveway...Keep thinking that I am gonna scratch it somehow...LOL!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

bottom...

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

That last reflection photo scares me......as it would be how I would love to see my truck.

Looking good.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

:metal::metal::metal:

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Wow!
Looks pretty sweet to me Clem!
How do you like it? Is it a keeper?

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

yeah, i like it just fine. he is almost through with the back, so when finished, i will post up another pic of the assembled seat.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Very nice. That thing is awesome!!!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

That finish is Mirror smooth. The reflection is really really crisp.
Great Job

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

I'm sure the computer screen ain't doing it justice. SUPER nice build man!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Ha!
Better get out the sandpaper & primer, and start block-sanding....for about a year!!!! soooooo much work, but starting to be rewarding!

Thanks yet again, Don!

Thank you, so much!

Thanks Greg, about 25 hrs of sanding & rubbing so far, and I haven't touched the hood & roof!...and I thought that it was flat to start with!

No justice at all!
Thank you man, I tried like hell to capture it with the camera, but I'm not Coulter! LOL!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

i think Scottybob did a great job. hope its what you wanted. i think its cool...

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

WOW!!!!!!!
All that I can say is F-ing WOW!
That is EXACTLY how I pictured it in my head!
I can hardly believe it!
I don't even know what to say, besides THANK YOU!!!
I am in awe!....Totally Badass!
Did I say WOW? LOL!
Sure as hell beats the milk-crate!!!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Clem,
Need a close-up shot of the material color/texture contrasts!
Did I say thanks sooooooo much????
THANKS!!!!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Wow! that is stellar!!! Makes me rethink putting a Yukon seat in mine.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Thanks Man!
I was originally all set to put Cadillac SRX buckets in mine, but decided that they just wouldn't look right...

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Nailed it!! That's going to look fantastic in there. Congrats!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

hey buddy,
heres a couple of closeups…
you are ready to go… call me with shipping info.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Omg that is one stunning seat! :phat:

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

WOW is right. I love that material too. :metal::metal::metal:

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!

Thanks, I really think that it will. I can't wait to see!

I really LIKE!
Thanks Clem!!! For Everything!!!!

Thanks Strodder! I wanted something that had vintage styling with a modern twist....

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Well guys,
I received my seat yesterday, and of course, needed to install it immediately to see how it looked!
It looks sooooo nice considering that all of this was done long-distance, with not much contact!!!!
I am truly appreciative of Clem's efforts to make this a monumental milestone!
Hats-off to Clem & Scottybob for making this happen!!!!
I really think that the seat makes the entire interior POP!

Excellent :metal:

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Yep, what he said!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

That is sweet. It does make the interior POP

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Frickin' Saweeeeet seat!

I call Shot Gun!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

beats the heck out of a milk crate. glad you like it… will tell scotty.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Can't come up with anything that would be even close to cooler than that dude. It's perfect. Toss that baggie on the air-ride dealio and let's roll!!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

I would feel self conscious putting my butt on that...puts my seat to shame.
(almost) LoL

:thumbs:

Please tell me you are going to make it down to Clems this year (not necessiarily in the truck) .....

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Thanks man!
I am overwhelmed with the look!

Thanks!!!

They almost looks like black & white pics, don't they?
Thanks!!!

Ya think???
Thanks Greg, but you would need to fight my girlfriend for it! LOL!

Dude, you out-did yourself!
Great thanks for all of your efforts on MY seat!
Everyone that looks at it asks me where I bought it...LOL!
It is soooo comfy too!..I made an excellent choice to pick you to help me out with this. Again, many thanks!


I read this 3 times before I realized what you were saying...Now I can't stop laughing!
I kept the baggy on it while there was no carpet, and it was getting thrown every which-way!...Baggy is now in the trash!

I want to say yes, but it is up in the air at the moment.
I am going thru some personal issues right now, but the way that the truck ran today on it's maiden voyage, makes me say that I could probably drive it anywhere!...but I only put 40 miles on it....LOL!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

This is outstanding.

Not just the how, but the what........

I think you could build a truck around just having that seat.

It just shows again, there is a place for true craftsmanship.

Well done all.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Top Quality All The WAY

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
 

Congrats on the ride! Any issues?
