Black is always an awesome color.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Wow!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Looking great. This truck will be very sick when it is finished. Keep up the great work

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

what are the specs on narrowing the rear end? and do you know how much of the bed floor will have to be modified?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

I love the build. Do you have any specs on the brakes that you are using

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

I'm sorry Ishould have asked a minute ago with my other post what is the fuel tank you are useing?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Will do & Thanks !!
Without going in the shop and measuring, i can't remember the actual width of the housing. I just bought the wheels i wanted , with the most backspacing available, and narrowed the housing to fit. Bed floor has been raised 3 inches.
These brakes are Ford Motorsports M2300's Basically, the same system that Currie, Strange and others sell. Also used on 96-02 Explorers. Requires a 2.50" brake offset.
Fuel tank is from Tank's inc. It's a poly unit and holds 14 gallons. It's also set up for an electric in tank pump for future plans.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

A little more progress to speak of. Mounted the remote tilt release to underside of the seat. Installed carpet and sill plates. Still tossing around ideas as to how i'm going to hide all the wiring. Any thoughts or suggestions, please post away !

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Can we see a better pic of those seats?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Here ya go. Tea's Design did the seat. It's a Newstalgia style bench covered in black ultra leather. Tom and Charlie Ashton are great people to do business with.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Those are nice!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Not only does it look good, I can vouch for the fact that his seat is EXTREMELY comfortable too!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Yea thats nice.Was considering the glide split bench myself [little cheaper] but I cant make my mind up.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

looks really nice!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Wow, I missed this one. Very nice! I'm going to put a pair of Tea's buckets in my 55 one day.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Amazing build and attention to detail. That brake light is killer as well. How are you going to run your tank filler? I think it would be awesome if you did a roll pan with a license plate bracket that flips up revealing your filler behind the plate. Just an idea, not sure if you already had one planned out for the filler.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

An amazing build, beautiful work!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

That seat is Killer! not too sure how to hide the wiring though? maybe under the carpet?good luck with that

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Very sweet build! I love the creativity and the attention to detail! Great job!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

sweet build, (no better color than black)

I would love to see pics of the bed mocked up with both sized rear MT's if you have.
I bought the 29"x15"x20" last year but have not been able to see them in the wheel wells since it took 9 months for my wheels to get here.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

We need pics ;)

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Hey guys, progress has been pretty slow the last month. Color sanding on the cab and doors is pretty much done. I also installed the cab divider molding. It polished out pretty nicely, as you can see a "before and after" in the pic. :chevy:
