Those will look great in there!

Thanks!! My door panels will have an insert to match the diamond stich on the seats. I'm also gonna put diamond stich in the center of my bench seat on my 68 C10. I'd say go for it if you want my opinion.

Excellent! That will look great! My interior man also wants to do some diamond on the door panels as well. I think it will be headed in for it in about a week or 2.

Ok guys I have been off of here for way to long. As to an update on the truck it went to the upholstery shop last Thursday. I have the bed wood in, rear bumper and tailgate on, all the glass in, wheels polished. I'm shooting to have it finished for the weekend of July 11th for the Columbus Goodguys. Supposed to get the grille back this week and the push will be on. The shop is shooting to get it finished up early next week in time to get the grille in and do a final buff and shine. It's almost there! I can't wait!!

widewhite70 · 06-30-2014, 09:19 PM

First official drive down the street to the trailer to load up for upholstery. Still no color photos yet though lol

widewhite70 · 06-30-2014, 09:21 PM

Here's a shot of the finished curly maple bed wood.

widewhite70 · 06-30-2014, 09:22 PM

The new steering wheel.

WOW!!!! You got a beautiful truck with some great work. You got talent!

Looking forward to see it finished!

jtp67-72 · 06-30-2014, 11:55 PM

Is it the pic or are the two center boards the same as others...that by the way is what gm should have done! The narrow center boards have always irqued my anal side!.....lol...jim

scotts72heavyhalf · 07-01-2014, 03:23 PM

Here is my guess for the color

LOL yes actually all of the boards are the same width. When we widened the wheel wells we decided to go that route so they were all symmetrical.

Got the grille back from the chrome shop!

VA72C10 · 07-03-2014, 08:14 PM

Gorgeous! What I've always wanted to do...I can't stand how quick anodized grills look dull.

I plan in the future when I build my blazer roadster to chrome factory steel hoops and headlight bezels...

Thanks! We must have been writing on each other's post at the same time lol.
But yes I have to agree with you, the chrome really makes it pop!

jtp67-72 · 07-03-2014, 10:12 PM

That's nice.....worth ever penny!!..........jim

smbrouss70 · 07-03-2014, 11:33 PM

Looks Fantastic! Local chrome shop or did you send it out?

Are you going to re-paint the black? If so, what do you have to do to get paint to stick to chrome?

67ctener · 07-05-2014, 01:25 PM

That grill looks insane. I'm gonna guess a deep maroon/red with that steering wheel cover

It was somewhat close, about 100 miles away so we dropped it off.
I wanted to get it black again, classic parts sells some vinyl stickers for the lettering but there is no good way to paint the chrome to make it stick that I'm aware of.

Thank you! and the clock is ticking on the color! lol

smbrouss70 · 07-08-2014, 04:57 PM

I would think a little detailed sanding and some adhesion promoter would have to work for the black paint, but I've never tried it. I'll call my painter and see if he has any ideas.

widewhite70 · 07-11-2014, 06:56 AM

Ok guys we are loaded up and headed to Columbus,Ohio Goodguys. If anyone is going let me know!

1stchevy · 07-11-2014, 04:59 PM

Just saw your pictures on Facebook and your truck is absolutely gorgeous!

smbrouss70 · 07-11-2014, 05:30 PM

OK, we need a link to his facebook page. I really want to see it in color!

1stchevy · 07-11-2014, 10:25 PM

I'm not sure how to post a link from the Facebook app but this truck is a jaw dropper
