Re: 68 project

No real updates today, actually have not even touched the 68 in 3 months about time to start hitting it again though, I feel the urge to get some more progress on it, my mind just has not been into it tbh. it will be relaxing to play again though

Re: 68 project

Although I have not had anytime to work on my truck I am in the midst of moving her back to my house and all my good stuff. Tomorrow I should have my bench seat I have had Grumpy working on and will post pics of it as soon as it is in my presence

Re: 68 project

So Grumpy old man dropped off my benchseat yesterday, I have to say I am totally in awe of the craftsmanship he put into my interior. He went above and beyond my expectations. Yes this was the factory bench seat, integrated headrest and a flip down console with cup holders on the bottom.

Nice! Did you have anything else done? Like matching headliner/door panels, etc?

Yes, visors, dash pad, door panels and armrests are all covered in canvas also

Damn, that is nice! I like the cup holder idea. My kids are always bringing drinks in the truck and then they want me to hold them!

Yes I love the drink holder he did that on his own and did a wonderful job hiding them.

Re: 68 project

Working that canvas was TOUGH , Mounting the hidden cup holders down low helps prevent spills all over your interior ,There's a 12 volt outlet inside the consol to charge your cell phone and since it's a flip forward seat some mesh pockets on the back help with some storage space . I'm glad your happy with it .
