Re: '69 C10 - Black on Black

Hope everyone had a nice Easter.

I thought Saturday was going to be the day where the cab got painted, thus marking a milestone and enabling us to set it on the frame for the first time since we took it apart. But I messed up and over-reduced the sealer and got runs all over the place. I tried salvaging it by letting it dry for a couple hours and wet sanding a few spots carefully, but I was getting holograms in the base so I decided to cut my losses and resand everything next weekend so I can try again another weekend. It was disappointing, but we managed to get the seat done and saw a lot of family on Sunday so it was a good weekend overall.

This seat frame is out of my 68, so it's a folding seat and the back is mostly springs. This is a 69-72 cover with new 67-68 foam top and bottom and we got it to work just fine. I didn't take a picture, but I found the correct clips for the bottom that pinch the cover to the frame and we used hog rings on the back. It came out pretty nice - I almost wish it was in my truck.
