Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I love the seats, Alan. The tweed in the insert kinda gives them the period look. They should look killer in the truck.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Man I am throughly impressed with those seats !!
They turned out so nice! I envy your ability to envision this stuff in your head well enough to get stuff like that done. I on the other hand have to draw it out to make sure that I like on paper what my brain cells are telling me is cool.... ![]() Soooo how does one get their truck in a magazine? I ask because when yours makes it, I want to get a copy so I can tell people I watched it get built, and point out the things on my truck I stole, or learned, from you!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, was at the local watering hole yesterday and what to my wondering eye did appear but a 66 GMC on bags , orange, and howlstooth inserts in his seats simular to yours.. That is 3 vehicles I'm seen in the last year with the same inserts, the other 2 were camaros which were pace cars for the 500 in the 60's with that same fabric in the interior.. I bought a plain jane camaro 327, 4 speed that was sitting right next to one on the show room floor at Blossom Chevy in 67. My how things come back around.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I have to say that I have not posted on your build thread yet, as it took a while to read it all. You have an awesome truck and I hope to see it in a magazine someday. All of the hard work and pain and sweat that you put into it will be all worth it when you cruise it for the first time! I have loved reading all of your build and watching your truck come together. Good luck on finishing it the rest of the way... you have a lot to well earned praise coming your way and I hope that your truck brings you a lot of work once it is finished! Happy New Year and God bless you and your family!

![]() We have a nice weather day today so I was able to paint the driveshaft and install it for the last time I hope. I also touched up the front bumper bracket where I had to cut it for clearance around the PS pump. I was also able to run the power wires to the seats and with Shannon's help we were able to tighten all the seat mounts that I made. After that we set the seats in place and got the driver side and center console bolted down. Happy New Year!!

Those seats really do look great mounted in their new home. Who is that puppy in the window with that great big smile?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Dude !!
When I got to the pic of you sitting in the truck my first thought was... "What the heck is he doing?? Hes gonna get finger prints all over his work!!" ![]() All kidding aside.... the most important question about your seats. Are they comfy?
