Seats look AWESOME>

Check out the new issue of Rod & Custom. They have a tech article on shrinking metal with a scrunching disc. It has a Black & White 57 Chevy on the cover.

**chevy_man5** · 12-29-2011, 10:10 PM

Those seats look great!!! Good choice!!

**pdxhall** · 12-29-2011, 10:10 PM

I love the seats, Alan. The tweed in the insert kinda gives them the period look. They should look killer in the truck.

Woogeroo · 12-29-2011, 10:21 PM

Those seats are going to look really good with that orange paint!

Nice.

Man I am throughly impressed with those seats !!
They turned out so nice!

I envy your ability to envision this stuff in your head well enough to get stuff like that done. I on the other hand have to draw it out to make sure that I like on paper what my brain cells are telling me is cool....

Soooo how does one get their truck in a magazine?
I ask because when yours makes it, I want to get a copy so I can tell people I watched it get built, and point out the things on my truck I stole, or learned, from you!!

1enick72 · 12-30-2011, 01:00 AM

Your seats came out great, very nice.

Alan, was at the local watering hole yesterday and what to my wondering eye did appear but a 66 GMC on bags , orange, and howlstooth inserts in his seats simular to yours.. That is 3 vehicles I'm seen in the last year with the same inserts, the other 2 were camaros which were pace cars for the 500 in the 60's with that same fabric in the interior.. I bought a plain jane camaro 327, 4 speed that was sitting right next to one on the show room floor at Blossom Chevy in 67. My how things come back around.

well if you haven't learned anything, stole something, or seen something new in this thread you've been asleep for way to long. LOL

65Custom · 12-30-2011, 02:44 PM

Seats turned out nice, I like the orange thread it really sets the seats apart from the rest

56taskforce · 12-30-2011, 02:59 PM

Wow seat looks awesome!!! Great choice of materials rich looking leather and a period correct hounds tooth center it makes that modern seat look like it came in the truck. I can sum it up in one word CLASS. Great job Alan!!!!

C@rnut001 · 12-31-2011, 02:11 AM

I have to say that I have not posted on your build thread yet, as it took a while to read it all. You have an awesome truck and I hope to see it in a magazine someday. All of the hard work and pain and sweat that you put into it will be all worth it when you cruise it for the first time! I have loved reading all of your build and watching your truck come together. Good luck on finishing it the rest of the way... you have a lot to well earned praise coming your way and I hope that your truck brings you a lot of work once it is finished! Happy New Year and God bless you and your family!

Keep in mind I've had 4.5 years to think about the seats. Your right it is all in my mind.

I would also like to know how to get in a magazine. I guess I will find out this next year.

They really do go well with the truck. I'm very happy with the design and final product.

Thanks for taking the time to read the story so far, stay tuned it's getting close. Sometimes I feel that I post a bunch of stuff that didn't need posting. Then again it's fun to go back from time to time and remember where I've been.

I hope it is a good business card as well. I have learned a lot of what not to do.

We have a nice weather day today so I was able to paint the driveshaft and install it for the last time I hope. I also touched up the front bumper bracket where I had to cut it for clearance around the PS pump.

I was also able to run the power wires to the seats and with Shannon's help we were able to tighten all the seat mounts that I made. After that we set the seats in place and got the driver side and center console bolted down.

Happy New Year!!

VA72C10 · 01-01-2012, 12:09 AM

The seats look excellent in the truck!!!!

likaroc13 · 01-01-2012, 12:47 AM

XtechX · 01-01-2012, 03:57 AM

Wow those seats look awsome!!! They should work just fine for me...I'll be over to pick them up on Monday....lol

57truckguy · 01-01-2012, 04:14 AM

OH My, I am so jealous.. Great build... You never post to many pics.. There are thoes of us that are living out our dream in your truck build. we need the encouragement we see in your build to keep us going. I do believe a lot of us here could do a better job if things were different.. thier not so we live out our dream through you and your build. We bow to your expertise and skill...

Strodder · 01-01-2012, 12:50 PM

Love the seats, but with ME sitting on them in my truck

All kidding aside, will you upholster the door panels with some hounds tooth inserts?

Bardahl · 01-01-2012, 01:38 PM

WOW !!! I just read (most of the story), what perseverance ! Great work Alan, thanks for sharing. I cannot wait to hear/see you driving your truck to a show !!

65Custom · 01-01-2012, 03:49 PM

Those seats really do look great mounted in their new home. Who is that puppy in the window with that great big smile?

flips72 · 01-02-2012, 12:28 AM

57truckguy · 01-02-2012, 02:07 AM

aggie91 · 01-03-2012, 11:29 AM

Those seats turned out great. Great material choice!

**66ChevyMax** · 01-03-2012, 04:54 PM

Love the seats, nice job!

awbrown · 01-07-2012, 12:02 AM

Getting it in a magazine is no problem.. I have a friend that did an article on an engine I built ,he gets published all the time .. When its done give me a shout and I will hook you up.....

McMurphy · 01-07-2012, 12:13 AM

Dude !!
When I got to the pic of you sitting in the truck my first thought was...
"What the heck is he doing?? Hes gonna get finger prints all over his work!!"

All kidding aside.... the most important question about your seats.

Are they comfy?
