Hot Rods Let's finish the 50 Chevy pickup

It's getting there! I'm gonna get it out and shake it a little Monday. Still gonna completely finish the interior. Little bites lol

 

My memory aint all that but I seem to recall a chick back there that was just starting out doing upholstery. Name escapes me.

 

That flake wheel is crazy cool.....the short vid was great too...

 

I’m surprised you did not go all flakey on the dash to match the wheel. There’s a girl in Kentucky who’s just starting out in upholstery who could knock out that interior for you. Probably pretty cheap too.

 

Tough crowd, looks like great progress brother.

 

Really? Well I taught her. I used to own half of S&S Upholstery almost 30 years ago. And I got the upholstery shop in the divorce.

 

Lol **** you idiot

 

Thanks man

 

No man I'm good. Gotta cut gl*** and figure out what I'm gonna do with the seat. Not a bunch of bench seats floating around, so I might end up widening this one, like I did on my El Camino. Thinking I might do a simple black pleated interior with blue s***ching and welt.

 

Think I'll block you over that stupid *** remark.

 

Too soon, I’m sorry.

 

Yeah.

 

The **** you looking at Popeye?

 

Isn't my shifter a beautiful thing?

 

You do realize I only have one eye ,right ***hole?

 

Yes I am an ***hole, you're right about that part scotty said you have a brown eye?

 

3 of em only 2 functional

 

The good news is I'm half blind and completely ugly but chicks still dig me

 

I keep hearing that

 

What's up with two keys in dash?

 

Well the good news is that being half blind is better than being half nuts. An accusation that way too many people throw out when we talk about our cars.

 

It takes 2 synchronized starters to crank the big small block Chevy. And also I can't seem to get the original switch out lol...

 

Tap handle shift knobs are traditional! Coming together well, you've been a busy man. The Chevelle bench I have is probably too wide and pretty far away.

 

Everything in finding is no wider than what I have! I've got some guys at the s**** yard watching for me

 

Lol thanks Steve I don't know how wide a chevelle bench is, but I never thought I'd see the day that old bench seats would become obsolete lol. I have the buckets and console out of a K-5 blazer, but I'd rather have a bench in this truck.

 

The K5 Blazer stuff is probably worth enough to pay for something that fits!

 

Yeah it's worth a few bucks, I bought all three pieces for $200. Console is worth that. Plan was to recover the seats and resale. We'll see
