Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Cool project! May i ask who did your paint job?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Thanks, i'm enjoying bolting things on for the last time. Knowing that it's not just for fitment.

That makes two of us !!:lol:

Thanks ! I'm a sucker for details and getting things just right.

No problem ! If you need anymore, just holler !!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Ok, so I go back a page and scroll down for pics, the first thing i see is this black beast on a traile and the words that come out of my mouth ar HOLY F&** THAT THING IS SIC!!!!!! Nice job, keep it up.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

A little more progress made. Fed Ex dropped off my master cylinder yesterday, so i'll be able to finish up the brake system.

Also, i decided to color sand the door jambs before i installed the carpet and door weatherstriping. Clearcoat was already slick, i just wanted that extra 5 percent. ;)

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

WOW the door jams look freakin killer

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

:agree:

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Black is always an awesome color.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Wow!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Looking great. This truck will be very sick when it is finished. Keep up the great work

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

what are the specs on narrowing the rear end? and do you know how much of the bed floor will have to be modified?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

I love the build. Do you have any specs on the brakes that you are using

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

I'm sorry Ishould have asked a minute ago with my other post what is the fuel tank you are useing?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Will do & Thanks !!
Without going in the shop and measuring, i can't remember the actual width of the housing. I just bought the wheels i wanted , with the most backspacing available, and narrowed the housing to fit. Bed floor has been raised 3 inches.
These brakes are Ford Motorsports M2300's Basically, the same system that Currie, Strange and others sell. Also used on 96-02 Explorers. Requires a 2.50" brake offset.
Fuel tank is from Tank's inc. It's a poly unit and holds 14 gallons. It's also set up for an electric in tank pump for future plans.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

A little more progress to speak of. Mounted the remote tilt release to underside of the seat. Installed carpet and sill plates. Still tossing around ideas as to how i'm going to hide all the wiring. Any thoughts or suggestions, please post away !

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Can we see a better pic of those seats?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Here ya go. Tea's Design did the seat. It's a Newstalgia style bench covered in black ultra leather. Tom and Charlie Ashton are great people to do business with.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Those are nice!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Not only does it look good, I can vouch for the fact that his seat is EXTREMELY comfortable too!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Yea thats nice.Was considering the glide split bench myself [little cheaper] but I cant make my mind up.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

looks really nice!

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Wow, I missed this one. Very nice! I'm going to put a pair of Tea's buckets in my 55 one day.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

Amazing build and attention to detail. That brake light is killer as well. How are you going to run your tank filler? I think it would be awesome if you did a roll pan with a license plate bracket that flips up revealing your filler behind the plate. Just an idea, not sure if you already had one planned out for the filler.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
 

An amazing build, beautiful work!
