Mirrors are Ford F-Series manual mirror. Dorman part # 955-269. Got em off Amazon for $26 each. Found em from a thread on this forum on sport mirrors. No offense, but I don't really care for the look of the stock 68 mirrors that came on these trucks.

Thanks. Guy on you tube made it look real easy. I guess after you have done a hundred they get easier. Not to mention the cool rivet squishers he has.

Not much progress but at this point I will take any I can get. Been too busy trying to get my Chevelle ready to sell, but this week I took Homer down and had a bedliner sprayed in.

Saclandman · 11-08-2015, 06:13 PM

Haven't checked in here in a while. Homer looks awesome! Congrats on having a kick ass truck.

flashed · 11-08-2015, 07:50 PM

Bedliner looks great .

66-PMD-GMC · 11-08-2015, 08:00 PM

Very nice

deejaaa1 · 11-08-2015, 09:47 PM

**Advanced Design** · 11-08-2015, 10:51 PM

That looks good Wayne. What are you doing to the Chevelle?

Had to change out the GTO late model seats. Put in some new Pro-Car lower seats. The GTO seats had your head in the headliner. Too tall. Probably use them on my next build. Also installed some electronic exhaust cutouts. Really hear that nasty cam when they're open. Have finally come to the point of "being tired of working on it". Time to let it find a new home and me to move onto my 63 GMC for a hot rod to take to the shows.

**Advanced Design** · 11-09-2015, 02:34 PM

I've seen so pic's of your Chevelle here somewhere and the buyer will get a really nice car! I will tag along on the 63 whenever you get to it.

71Sleeper · 11-10-2015, 02:10 AM

The spray in liner really cleans Homer up, very nice touch. It just screams I'm a work horse now load me up with a ton of brick, rock, lumber, dirt or whatever needs to be hauled.

Thanks A.D. For a ragged a** old Chevy it's not too bad. Will make someone a nice hot rod.

Right On 71Sleeper. Need to mount some ties downs too in order to keep the stuff from slinging around. "Put me in Coach"?

cooperhw · 12-06-2015, 09:38 PM

Well. I have been super busy lately trying to tidy up some loose ends on my Chevelle getting it ready to possibly sell it next month. Have not been doing too much on old Homer for a while. Finally swapped out the distributor and had my painter friend come over for one last polish and overspray clean up before the front trim went back on. It cleaned up real nice. While the Chevelle was at the upholstery shop I cleaned old Homer up today and took him for a little cruise through the neighborhood. Took a couple pics to show he's been sidelined but not forgotten.
You know it was on the 22nd of December last year I drove over to San Diego and picked up Homer. Started this year long obsession. Not over yet, but well on the way and maybe over the hump. We'll see.

The truck looks great.
Should have stopped by for a visit if you were out for a cruise. .

It was a pretty nice day..

**Advanced Design** · 12-06-2015, 11:23 PM

It is amazing how much you did in a year!

Thanks Chris. You are right about the nice day. Couldn't take Homer out of the neighborhood yet as he has no taillights, license plates, or insurance. Need to get on those, but kinda waiting to send the Chevelle on to greener pastures. Soon.

A.D. Thanks Man, it is kinda surreal when I think back on it. Was a busy hot summer for sure. Getting too old for this. Gotta slow down soon.
