Been cranking away on the interior. Tach dash, radio delete, pretty much all of the rest of the interior parts are out of the 70’ parts truck.

I ordered parchment replacement covers for my Buddy Buckets. But It’s been 7 weeks and still no idea when they’ll be in.

So I bought some spray dye for vinyl/fabrics. And I am pleasantly surprised with the results, it’s only temporary but it’ll do.

Couldn’t put purple seats in a yellow truck! It’s not the 90’s

I remember.
Last I talked to him, he had already expected them to be here. So he had no idea when they’d show.

Doors refurbished with a combination of good originals and a few aftermarket parts.

Also vacuumed about 5lbs of crap out of each door.

Moved the truck over to the other side of the shop, had to snap a few pics while she was out in the sun.

I can’t wait to blend the rockers, add the rest of the trim and polish it, I think she’s really gonna pop.
