Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
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. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/iEKciG.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/d618Qw.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...911/waMAvp.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/oarEI1.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/BQ0Cbi.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/urx9TN.jpg I still need to rub the hood & front fender extensions, but I am getting there!!! |
Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

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

Very nice. That thing is awesome!!!

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

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! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/3SLmpO.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/hW7I0i.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/PsMzMz.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/wYMUow.jpg |
Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
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) ..... |

Thanks!!! Quote:
Thanks Greg, but you would need to fight my girlfriend for it! LOL! Quote:
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! Quote:
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! Quote:
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! |

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/3SLmpO.jpg
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?
