Sorry about the drip rail! I remember you telling me you were thinking about doing it but I had not heard the horror stories! At least it won't be too bad to fix, especially since you were already planning on getting stuff repainted. Anyways, you're interior's looking sweet! I can't wait to see the seats all done.

Me too!!! Been a long time coming on this interior. I designed the seats myself and took the picture I had drawn to the upholstery guy. I hope they come out like what I put on paper. The door panels came out good so the seats should too. He is way less expensive than alot of quotes that I got from other places, and his product is pretty good.

Nope, no amount of buffin is gonna fix that! I already got the paint and everything I need to paint it. If the weather holds out it should be painted Friday or Saturday hopefully.

Wish I would have scanned the picture I drew of the seats before I gave it to the shop. Dang hind-sight. Guess we'll see how close they get it to the drawing on Friday or Saturday. I'm a little afraid.....

Seems like a big weekend coming up. Picking up my seats, painting the drip rail again and also painting the inside of the bed again. Friday isn't gonna work so we had to change the day. Lot of work to do before Saturday, got the bed half scuffed. My brother came over this past weekend and helped me do a few things, one was the firewall insulation. A small bit of advise to anyone installing the firewall insulation, do it while everything is still out!!!!

Here is a picture of the edge of the wood I owe ya. It's not a very good picture, it looks like it is at a angle but it's not. I can get some better one tommorow.

As soon as I break in the cam and make sure the brakes work I will get you a good burn out video! I love doin' big greasy burn outs.

Cool. That gives me a good idea of how to do mine. I am doing the hidden bolt style. I see that it has a diagonal cut to it also, did that help with fitment/clearance issues?

I am running Heddmann's ceramic coated for a 69 Camaro. Had very little clearance issues. I did put a spacer on my engine mounts on the crossmember about a 1/4 inch to lift the engine just a little.

Got the bed painted again so now it matches the rest of the truck. We got a few runs in the clear but nothing a little sanding won't take care of. It was a little cool outside but at least it's done.

He said the would be ready today, but I can't pick them up till Saturday since he is way North of me. He closes at 5:30 but that's when I get off work and it's a 70 mile drive for me from work.

I want to go with the lightest color wood that I can, preferrably oak but I am going to a lumber yard where an old freind works to get his opinion, what's your opinion???

I'll see if I can get some samples and take some pics after I polyurethane them. It may help you make up your mind too. Mine will be light to match the interior.

If you want a light wood I would go with maple. Hickory would look cool too...but man it adds up fast $$$$. I looked at Hickory at a local speciality lumber yard and it was like $6-7 a foot, so I went with oak. It will work for hauling the beer cooler.:lol:

Yea that'd be awesome! Just give me a call or send a message first if you can make it.
The bed looks nice, can't wait to see it with some wood!
