Hey guys!
I have been slackin on updates so here are a few...
I received the material samples for my seat, so I matched them to carpet samples that I had already acquired, and ordered my carpet...(I can't wait to see the seat)
My carpet arrived, so I started the install...(did I mention that I can't wait to see the seat?)
I will be ordering some additional carpet & floor-mats to finish-up all of the visible areas, but this is what it looks like so far.

Very cool. I truly appreciate a show truck. It takes so much dedication to complete a build to the level you have. Congratulations! :clap:

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

How many sq feet of sound deadner did you use?

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

Where did you source the carpet from? Looks awesome!

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

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.
