I'd take you up on that 2 minutes in a heartbeat...I going to try to have some color on mine before fall. My plan is get all the panels ready for final blocking before I start shooting the color. I really don't want to have a mismatch in color. Reds can be a little tricky even out of the same can. I just got the doors ready for high build primer, next fenders, then bed, gate, hood etc.....

Keep up the good work on yours, and yeah I go back and look at my 2009 pics. I have came a long way too, just not as dedicated as you guys that are wrapping your builds up.

Life is busy....

How's Jezebel doing?

[sgaylord]

She's doing fine. I have to admit I have not payed her as much attention lately as I should have. Been doing college visits with my daughter who is graduating high school this year. I have also been camping and offshore fishing, so not much time to work on her. Ill get back to work on her when life slows down a bit.

Thanks for following up!

You deserve a break from all your hard work on Jezebel. Looks like you got the hardest parts done. I'm excited to see the finished product.

Update Steve?

[sgaylord]

Wow, it's been 4 months since an update. Sorry about that folks. I bought a new boat and have been spending lots of time offshore this year. Also had to get my daughter off to college.

Not much progress. Built a sub enclosure behind the seat and some fiberglass kick panels (I know, I know, you want pics. I will get some on here soon.. lol ). Ive been kinda stuck on a design for a console that works well with my bench seat. I'll be dedicating some time to working on that soon when it cools down a bit here in Florida. Need to get it ready for the Turkey Run in November.

Ive also been throwing around the idea of selling my burb since we are not using it. When Jezebel is done I could use the garage space so I can get my 67 Chevelle in the shop in order to get started on it.

[sduckworth13]

How's Jezebel coming along Steve? Bump for one of the best builds I've been following .

[sgaylord]

Thanks Scott. Now that it's cooling down a bit I have been doing a few things. I have a skeleton built for my console. Now I need to wrap it in fleece and apply the resin. I plan to paint it and the kick panels body color. It's not much to look at now though. I have a month to get it finished so I'm back on it to get if finally finished.

Steve

[sduckworth13]

Good to hear your still at it.

[sgaylord]

It wont be long now! Finished the console and the kick panels. I have the stereo, amp and sub installed. Door glass is installed. Should have the interior installed this week. Ill post some pics when it's all in. Then I just need to take it on a shakedown run to see what gremlins are waiting for me....

She will make her debut at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona on the Thanksgiving weekend. Anyone attending come by and say hello, I always enjoy meeting other 67-72 truck guys. Ill be in the infield of turn 4. Hopefully I didnt just jinx myself... :-)

No pictures means it didn't happen

Lol. Does this help? Ill take some overall pics when I get the interior complete.

First lets start with the sub/amp/fuse block enclosure. I installed a 900w Alpine 4 channel amp with a 10" Alpine Type "R" shallow mount sub, and Type R components. The head unit is a Clarion.



Next is the center console and dash. Built the console using wood skeleton wrapped in fleece. Covered that with resin and after that dried I reenforced that with chopped fiberglass on the inside. Then smoothed it out with bodyfiler, primed and painted.



Here is the headliner.



Lastly this is how it sets now. I need to add the outside mirrors and finally the door panels.



Now I need to do some serious cleanup and check for gremlins. I know they are there I just need to find them. lol

This looks fantastic! Freakin' love the console and the tan leather seat/accents, etc.

[sduckworth13]

Nice work Steve, looks great.

[mcbassin]

That looks absolutely amazing Steve! Serious skills you have there.

[knomadd]

That looks REALLY nice! Great job!

[woodwright]

Steve, where'd you get the stainless cups for your cup holders?

[sgaylord]

Thanks guys for the comments. I should have had this done a long time ago but I'm continuously pulled between my many hobbies, lol.

I don't think Jezebel will be completely done for a little while but I will have it where I can drive it very soon. (are they ever really done?)

Those are marine cup holders with blue led's. I got them off ebay.

[Mr Chevorlet]

That truck is beautiful, you have done an amazing job. Love the color.

[sourkraut]

Awesome job!

[sgaylord]

Thanks for the kind comments.

[sgaylord]

Here's another small update.

Finally have the interior done. FYI that's a cover on my steering wheel to protect it from my dirty hands.



Here is a closeup of my glove box emblem.



Finally my 57 Chevy emblem 3rd brake light.



What do you guys think?

[knomadd]

That interior looks nice! Cool custom glove box emblem too. How'd you make that?

Very cool

Seriously I love all the custom touches. Nothing like separating yourself from the pack. That glovebox emblem might be my favorite.
