    Chad, not sure you saw my question in the interior thread, but I was wondering where you found the two tone seat covers you have in your truck. Looks awesome!

    We really don't have a deadline other than getting it finished so I can clear the shop out for a huge project I have for a restaurant. :)

    Sorry Buzz, I didn't see your question... we just took a pic to our local Upholstery guy and he did what we wanted, we matched the blue vinyl to the baby blue rustoleum we used on the dash and he used white/silver zodiac on the pleated insert.

    Just found your build tread. The initial condition of the truck didn't deter you guys at all. That is going to be one sweet ride. Your buddie's wife is going to love this truck, me thinks.

    We are actually leaving the body as is (primer). We are going to paint the wife's company logo on the doors an call it done. She wanted something really nice on the inside, but something she wouldn't have to worry about in Dallas parking lots.

    Its funny, last week I was just thinking about doing my gmc grille, bezels and bumper a white/vanilla color instead of chrome. Looking at yours, i really like it. I think it would work well with the deep maroonish color i wanna run. Truck looks amazing btw. Keep it up

    Oh yeah, vanilla would look really cool with a deep maroon!




    Thanks, I think Chad and I are really ready to finish this out and get to work finishing his T-coup.

    I like the vanilla, it gives it a nice classy look. It definitely has come a long way since you started. I really have enjoyed watching this build.

    I think it has a slight green tight to it, and the top has the dark green fade. It was a cheap windshield Jeff got from Deep Ellum Glass for $150.

    The mirrors are some I scored off here a while back, they are just the basic hotrod mirrors, stainless.

    Thanks GG!

    damn! that red oxide with cream makes me wish I would have stuck to my original plan and gone with those colors. It looks GREAT together. A time less look.

    Thanks Dubie! It does look pretty cool, especially after Jeff gets the lowering spindles it'll set just right then!!!
