Thanks.

The kit comes with an additional harness that's easy to install, and it includes 2 relays

Are we talking like the really glossy material used on some bar stools?

Yup, it's gonna be blue and black with the metal flake look in both colors.

I kind of took a chance ,having it covered like that but we'll see how it looks.

Thanks for all the compliments guys ,I'll post some pics of the seat as soon as I can.

Painter D · 01-18-2009, 05:25 PM

After I post the seat pics ,that might be the last of progress that I report for a while. I've been looking for another project (car) to fix up. Something that my wife and I can both drive and enjoy with a backseat. I found what I was looking for (1963 Riviera) and sent the guy a deposit to hold it for me ,so if I get it I'll probably be busy on it for a while.

Show us some pics on the buick also. Just because its not a truck doesn't mean that it can't be on here also. I've been watching this build closely and you are a great inspiration to us all. Maybe we need a non-truck section for builds? Keep up the awesome work!

Will do, as long as everything goes well and I actually get my hands on it. Thanks for the compliment.

Sweet looking seat!
That Riviera is beautiful.
Keep us up to date on the Riv project.

VA72C10 · 01-25-2009, 07:46 PM

The seat's different in a good way.

And that riviera will be awesome when it's bagged...heck, it's awesome now!

68 short step · 01-25-2009, 10:02 PM

Painter D · 01-25-2009, 11:24 PM

Thanks for the pics, I'll PM you on the price.

my67chevytruck · 01-26-2009, 03:05 PM

seat looks good. im digging the rivi...

Painter D · 03-14-2009, 04:52 PM

Haven't done much to the truck lately, other than drive it. Since it's been a little warmer lately. I'm planning on getting the bed liner sprayed soon, and maybe building a small sub enclosure for behind the seat (maybe). I'll post more pics when I get the liner sprayed.

Most of my time and money has been going to the Rivi lately. (FYI)

sson20s · 03-15-2009, 08:12 PM
