Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Got a package in today that I have been waiting for a long time but was well worth the wait. I ordered these buddy covers from Tim at Truckseats and I have to say they are awesome. Tim was great with keeping me updated as Truckworld took a while to make them. I've been wanting the Black/White Houndstooth covers since the first time I seen them. After I picked up my buddy's it was the perfect time to get them. Don't mind the picture, I'm pretty sure I mixed up the tops and bottoms but you guys get the picture.

Oh and I'm excited about the buddy covers, even my wife really liked them when she saw them in person. She wasn't a fan previously.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Love those new seat covers
![]() Don't worry about changing your mind, we all do it. I want to drive mine this summer too, and mine is already painted. I worry at my snails pace it may be this fall. I had no clue how long it takes to do one of these restorations, not to mention the pile of cash.... Keep your head up and plow forward. |

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Yeah don't rush it. Kind of wished I hadn't tried so hard to drive mine this year.
I really like those seat covers. I'm stuck between the black/white or red houndstooth for mine. The black/white is by far my favorite but the truck would've had all red interior being its a '67.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Don't feel bad Keith, mine has been painted and almost all together for a couple months and I still probably won't get to drive it this summer. When I start adding up all the little items I need it's still a lot of coins......

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Yes I have and that's why I'm considering it. I was dead set on the black/white until I saw it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
My wife's shoulder is doing a lot better this weekend so I was able to do some more painting. I sanded down my fenders with 180 to remove the runs and sprayed another coat of epoxy on. Now I'm ready for some Slick Sand. Hopefully will be spraying that on Tuesday. I changed the wires in my tent over to the conduit pipe like aggie91 suggested and it worked much better.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I then decided that I wanted to spray a test piece and see how it would come out with the Torch Red and clear. Yesterday I sprayed some white epoxy over the bare metal. It laid down really smooth so only needed very light sanding today before shooting the base.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Tom, it will probably be another month or two before I shoot anymore Red. I need to get the cab off the frame and finish the bodywork on it and the rest of the front clip. Then I will shoot the cab and front clip at the same time. A pic of the radiator cover under the garage lights. It has some dust nibs in it but I'm not worried about it.
