Mike,

Very, very nice, you did a super original restoration. What are your plans for using it? Any big trips planned in it.

Even better looking now, just over the top gorgeous.

TJ's Chevy · 06-27-2017, 11:23 AM

Very nicely done, I'd be afraid to drive it.

Great Job, Your build is a great inspiration!! I have a 66 custom camper. Where did you get the seat material and 19 inch wheels from?

Thanks Frank

**yelmer** · 06-27-2017, 06:40 PM

Thanks for the nice comments the seat material is from SMS Auto fabrics out of Oregon The 19.5 wheels i had to hunt for the are hard to find they made 2 types these are from 1962 to 1970 i call them the one Hump the other ones have two Humps They are prior 1962

Very nice work. May I ask what kind of wood did you use and from who. Also what did you use to paint it. Would it be durable enough to be used as a daily driver ,as that is what my truck is used as. Thank's in advance.

**yelmer** · 07-07-2017, 08:37 PM

the wood is southern yellow pine paint is oil base satin sherwin williams rolled on

Hey Mike, I'm sure you got tons of oohs and aahs over your fantastic restoration, but I'm curious if the 19.5 wheels caused a stir as well. Seems most folks (even truck guys) have never seen them before.

**yelmer** · 07-12-2017, 08:53 PM

yes many people think they are after market .
