That finish is Mirror smooth. The reflection is really really crisp.
Great Job

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Well guys,
I received my seat yesterday, and of course, needed to install it immediately to see how it looked!
It looks sooooo nice considering that all of this was done long-distance, with not much contact!!!!
I am truly appreciative of Clem's efforts to make this a monumental milestone!
Hats-off to Clem & Scottybob for making this happen!!!!
I really think that the seat makes the entire interior POP!

Dude, you out-did yourself!
Great thanks for all of your efforts on MY seat!
Everyone that looks at it asks me where I bought it...LOL!
It is soooo comfy too!..I made an excellent choice to pick you to help me out with this. Again, many thanks!

I read this 3 times before I realized what you were saying...Now I can't stop laughing!
I kept the baggy on it while there was no carpet, and it was getting thrown every which-way!...Baggy is now in the trash!

I want to say yes, but it is up in the air at the moment.
I am going thru some personal issues right now, but the way that the truck ran today on it's maiden voyage, makes me say that I could probably drive it anywhere!...but I only put 40 miles on it....LOL!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!



This is outstanding.

Not just the how, but the what........

I think you could build a truck around just having that seat.

It just shows again, there is a place for true craftsmanship.

Well done all.
