Re: My 68 swb build.
Love that seat! I think it'll really compliment the truck color. Powder coat on bezel looks good too, different. Keep it up!

Re: My 68 swb build.
Can't wait to see the cab in sunlight. Going to be killer. You got a great deal on the seat. I was quoted $500 just for my seat to get done. Looks like I will be shopping around a little more. Keep us posted with PICS!!

Re: My 68 swb build.
Maybe you already said? Is the blue a base coat for a candy pearl? What kind of paint you using? It looks super high$$$

Re: My 68 swb build.
If your talking about the blue on the cab, thats blue painters tape...hes getting ready to spray the inside with bedliner...and the paint was a bid dent in the pocket.. its all PPG Deltron. The pearl blue crystal is in a DBC 500 clear.. 389 a gal. plus the cost of pearl..75 parts to the gallon..i think it was supposed to come out to a little over 500 bucks for the gal. the clear is a DCU 2021. I was told it was the GOOD GOOD $h!t!!! i didnt go cheap on paint cause you get what you pay for...
