Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
oldnslow, Looks great. I love the look of the dash. Great job on the kick panels. I am going to do the same thing on my panel. Also want to do the door panels some how with an arm rest and add some dimension to them when ever I get some time. Keep up the great work.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
Got the audio equipment mounted under the seat, sounds great and the only visible parts are the kick panel speakers. The seat frame and skirts are painted and the steering wheel is two toned. Gotta polish the shift knob and brake pedal and the interior is finished.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
looks great, how much you have invested in the interior if you don't mind me asking?

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
I was very fortunate to find a talented upholstery guy, Gary Dunow, in Yorkville, Illinois. The cost for my interior was $2500.00, I provided the ABS plastic headliner. Gary upholstered the seats, the area behind the seats and sub woofer box, the kick panel speaker "pods", the 57 Buick arm rests, sun visors as well as making the door panels, shifter boot, and fitting and covering the headliner. He used loop carpeting with sewn edges and made matching carpet mats. The paint, 55 Chevy dash, gauges, steering wheel etc. all add up as well, but I am very happy with the finished product, Thanks.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
I haven't posted any updates for a while, we picked the truck up Sunday from the body shop where Jason Ohl straightened the front sheet metal and got the hood and fenders aligned properly. As it was a basket case when I purchased it so this is the first time that everything that is hinged (doors, tailgate, hood,) all function properly. Last night I started final assembly, (as primer will be this year's color), I'm getting pretty excited about making the maiden voyage.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
Chuck, the wheels are painted, I used Rust-Oleum Dark Pewter texture paint, lots of masking but the texture makes the wheels look more like castings than billet.

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
Got the back of the truck done, 46-48 Chevy tail lights, 54 bumper and modified splash apron and the 52 Chevy car license plate light. Running boards, fillers and the exhaust is on as is the re-chromed grill. With the front bumper, splash apron and headlights it should look like a truck!

Re: 48 5 Window air ride driver
I ground the front bumper brackets down to bare metal, primed and painted them before I trial fitted the bumper...... then I cut them apart to move the bumper a couple inches closer to the grill. No wonder it seems like I never do anything but work on the truck, it's usually the second or third time around before I'm happy with the way it's done. Here's a picture of the front end, mostly together. Damn, the older I get the faster the Summer goes by!
