Clyde...Your truck looks great.....What color did you paint the interior? My truck is original white so Im going back with the same color but wanted a different interior color.

**pdxhall** · 02-09-2019, 12:36 PM

It's great to see the rebuild. Nice work.

Thank You Johns66!

I tried ( yeah I know) to match the grey of the 60/61 but it came out much darker than I expected and the painter expected. It’s a medium charcoal kind of color.

I thought about fawn but I didn’t think it would go with my silver rally’s and seats...now I’m thinking of going with a bright blue ( like a 65 Impala)for the carpet, seats and kick panels.

Clyde.....I like the darker/medium charcoal...looks really good with the white.....I am thinking of either chrome wheels or a gunmetal/charcoal wheel/

Yours is looking really good.

Thanks Johns66, if I could get a weekend that is about 50 and dry, I could probably get this thing done by summer!

I have to decide on the interior( seats and carpet) I bought a light grey rubber matt from ACC and am thinking a silver or light grey.
Folks tell me bright blue like a 65 Impala....

**Clyde65** · 02-13-2019, 09:46 PM

Grill parts powder coated, new trim rings and headlight doors. New lights, mine were 20 years old, went with some HID bulbs and will use the relay harness.

**Clyde65** · 03-24-2019, 05:43 PM

So today I got some Clyde time and it wasn’t raining!!

Big clean up and put the rebuilt grill on with the painted letters and new headlights. Oh, and bumper guards!!

**Clyde65** · 03-24-2019, 08:24 PM

Thanks John! I am whipped now, not as young as I was last year!

**Clyde65** · 03-30-2019, 09:26 AM

One step closer to legal for old Clyde, got him inspected and drove around for a couple hours. Needs an alignment.
Also ordered these from Brothers, very nice even though they are from overseas.

Indian113 · 03-30-2019, 11:38 AM

Clyde will be Rolling around Dallas with his head held High! Sure looking Good.

Johns 66 · 03-30-2019, 06:23 PM

Looking Sweet.....Do you have any detail pictures of where you painted the black on the grille support? Thanks, John

**The Rocknrod** · 03-31-2019, 05:46 PM

That front end is looking sweet. Thanks for the pics.

**Clyde65** · 03-31-2019, 07:58 PM

Thanks for the encouragement guys! Makes the work worth every cut and bruise! Especially from y’all that I look up to on these trucks!

Johns66,
This is the best picture I have. It is basically the inside of the grill surround. Hope that helps. I can get a closer one if you need.

**Clyde65** · 04-20-2019, 06:55 PM

Finally getting around to the interior. Going with what I have, just don’t have the $ for Buddy Buckets!

2005 40/20/40 power seats. ACC rear cab cover, ACC grey rubber mat, then hand made kick panel covers.

Johns 66 · 04-21-2019, 12:26 AM

Gonna look great. Its a never ending process and unless you have an unlimited budget, which most don't, then we all have to do what our money will allow.

**The Rocknrod** · 04-21-2019, 12:06 PM

ACC rear cab cover - How does that attach? Looks good. Does it go all the way to the door edge on each side?

**Clyde65** · 04-21-2019, 12:45 PM

Johns66, you are correct sir, most don’t have $ to burn. I have thrown good $ after bad tho, that’s how we learn.

Yep...Live and learn. I have learned lately that is just best to take the time to learn what you are wanting done....People nowadays are doing shotty work

**Clyde65** · 04-21-2019, 12:48 PM

Rocknrod, it attaches wit Velcro, I’m not real keen on that but before I make any changes, I’ll see how it goes with the Texas heat.

Yes it goes right up to door edge, I’ll get a better pix.

Thanks guys for the encouragement!

kdad · 04-24-2019, 09:33 AM

Interior is really looking good and coming along nicely..

**Clyde65** · 04-24-2019, 12:10 PM
