Seriously! the Vents look new out of the box from 50 years ago.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Nice job as usual. Any updated pics on the body parts? i have been really trying to get my frame done but feel like I'm not getting anywhere. Can't wait to get into the body work and watch it take change. The more times I read through your build I want to ditch my chrome rear bumper do a roll pan and use my front bumper and paint to match instead of buying a new chrome front bumper.

I've been following your build since you started your thread. You do some great work. The vents came out great. Something I still need to tackle. Keep it up. I'm a fan.

I have to echo what pdxhall just said !!
Been with you since the start sir, and you never fail to produce !!
Nicely done. Mine were not in bad shape at all, so I did not tackle them.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Since my buddy/painter has been a bit busy with his own priorities, and I have been too overwhelmed at work lately to even think about it. I decided that in my spare-time, of which I have none, I would fab-up some items that I really didn't document very well the first time around.
I am not going to tell what they are, but as the process progresses, I am sure that you will figure it out.....
Here are some pics!
I will be posting more pics shortly!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

If you were running air bags, then control switches would be my guess. No matter what though, they will match your heater controls, and look cool as hell !!!

I AM gonna run air-bags!!!!
Now, I didn't even think about the controls for them! Nice one Murph!...Nah, I'm just making up some SPARES, as they could probably work pretty good as trading material.

I hear ya on that. I like being different. Not too different, not the same. Guess different with a twist would say it best,,,, with a serious amount of bling added.


However ya say it, You got it dude!!!
