My Driver Restore Thread
Figured I should start one of these so I can put my pics in one place. I bought this truck to be my driver so it won't be a frame-off restore but more like a driving-restore! As I get something done I'll post before and after pics.
I was only going to install the VintageAir system in the truck but I kept thinking since I got it tore down this far.......well you can see what I mean.

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
I always liked the 65 Impala Silver-blue so that's the color I chose to go with. Eventually the truck will be that color but for now just the interior. I'm going to satin black the outside as I get things done.

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
Man, I wish my driver was half that nice! I havn't driven my truck in 2 months, so I guess you can't call it a "driver"

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
It always seems to happen that way. You start to do one thing and realize you need to do this to match that and it just keeps going and going. Keep up the good work and I will be watching.

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
I really like the glovebox and are those the qlogic kick panels or custom made ones? I really like them and would definitely pay for some.

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
I got the kick panels from classicparts.com The glovebox and ashtray inserts are actually woodgrain vinyl that I sprayed black with vinyl spray.

I'm not sure the brand of steering wheel. It was in the truck when I bought it. Thanks for the props!
