No those aren't shoulder mounts...I don't think...They looked like some kind of nylon grommet. The seat that I'm using has an internal restraint system for the shoulder belt, so I didn't pay much attention to them.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
O.K. then. (LOL)
....So we finally shot the dash, and re-shot the back panel inside the cab. Photos aren't really that great, but the clear laid out like glass! I've been spending a lot of time going over everything with a fine-toothed comb, & repairing any imperfections. I've also had some small delays lately on getting things painted. It seems my painter has some other projects that pay a whole lot more than mine! Still moving forward, just not as fast.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Looks awesome! It ain't hard to shoot paint at all, start with some primer and you'll be rockin in no time! I thought you were a kid too, you're as bad as the rest of us coots! Great job, keep it Rollin!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
I hear ya man, I sprayed every bit of primer on this rig, and I can paint, but this is what my buddy does for a living!....I don't want to possibly screw it up at this point in the process, I am way more comfortable with his skills.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
mighty fine modges... the part i really like, is your unwillingness to accept anything less than the best that you can do. always doing it better each time.
congrats... you're building a mighty fine truck there youngster. |

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
We got a chance shoot some more color this weekend!
Things are really looking good, I'm almost afraid to touch them!!! It won't be long and all of the non-exterior surfaces on the cab will have color on them......Seems like this is taking forever! The next step is to shoot the door openings, & inner doors, then the cab will be ready for exterior color!...I can hardly wait. Here are a few more pics!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
sweeeetttt man that thing is going to be beautiful.... now quit grinning and get back to work seriously cant wait to see the cab finished, i bet someone is really getting anxious now.. lets see if i remember how this goes.. at least ten trips to the shop before bedtime..wife is telling about her day but all your hearing is the sound of the paint curing.. 3 hours after going to bed you will finally go to sleep only to dream all night about what your going to do next... ahhh precious memories, now seriously, get back to work

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Thanks all, for the comments!
And Flip, you are soooooo spot-on! You cannot believe how anxious that I am! my painter has got a few small crash projects that he needs to attend to, & then he will be back at it. ...I am getting impatient already.

Yeah, the photos were taken in my painter/buddies garage, and the trophies are from his son's motocross career which started in his childhood. For a number of years, I did all of the wrenching & maintenance on his race bikes (both Race & practice bikes). A lot of weekends were spent at the track. Now his kid is old enough to take care of his own stuff....but painting my truck is part of the payback!!!
