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

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

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!

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

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!

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) .....

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!

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.
