DaddyOh · 12-09-2015, 03:19 PM

How do you like the AC unit... as far as use and install? I spoke with them at SEMA but was wondering which unit you have and any changes you would do... after the fact. Thanks

dwcardfan · 12-09-2015, 06:27 PM

Very nice. That dash will be over the top when finished.

Ok back to work , finally finishing up the rough in metal work on the dash. The dash will all be padded with a thin foam and smoothed out. The amazing Clem scored me a junk dash that I cut the top off of to use as a removable dash cap. I finally fitted all the guage parts and made them to where they would still be removable and started the center console. Ordered another hide and a half of that amazing Relicate leather to cover it all in, I cant wait to see it all smoothed out and covered !

chevyrestoguy · 01-15-2016, 10:39 AM

Wow Mike, I love what you've done so far on the interior. I checked out this truck when it was at SEMA, and I loved it. I'm glad you're on the interior because at SEMA, I knew you were under a crunch to get it there and you weren't happy with it because it wasn't up to your high standards.

Love the headliner idea, the dash kicks ass, and I can't wait to see what you've got in mind for the door panels. As much as I love the '60-'66 bodystyle, the stock interiors were always a little too "truckish" and need a lot of help to look right. I have similar plans, but not at the extreme level you're shooting for.

Would have loved to BS'd with you at SEMA!

**67cheby** · 01-15-2016, 10:45 AM

BoostedBertha will be set up in the KICKER audio booth at LoneStar Throwdown so my next step is to get everything installed. I must admit I am by no means a wood worker (and you can tell)

Thank you man, sorry I missed you at SEMA it was a fast , furious few days !

aggie91 · 01-15-2016, 11:33 AM

Looking good. Hope to get to meet you at LST!

watahyahknow · 01-15-2016, 01:59 PM

you can hide a lot of woodworking misstakes with carpet , just make sure the box itself is airtight
like that huge flas dash , it shouldnt be too hard to hide a tft screen behind it and use a computer / smartphone app to get interactive gauges like all those high end performance cars like ferrari and mercedes uses

Bomp · 01-15-2016, 03:23 PM

Seeing pics of the work being done on Bertha is cool and all but MAN do I wish I could get another shot at getting to hang out and watch like a fly on the wall.

Come back anytime !

**67cheby** · 01-16-2016, 10:15 AM

Started on the passenger side last night with the box/amp rack, finishing it off with starting the trim panels

jlsanborn · 01-16-2016, 12:28 PM

Can't wait to see the finished product! Looking awesome so far man. Do you have a finish nailer? I find it easier to tack the pieces together with a nail gun, then go through and pre-drill / screw it all.

Thanks man, I just checked out your build Nice job !

**67cheby** · 01-18-2016, 10:25 AM

well I made a little more interior progress this weekend, a friend of mine Seth Curry made a top plate for my center console and I worked on getting the drivers side kick panelsmocked up and ready for fleece and fiberglass. I also worked on making more trim panels to go beside the seats and around the boxes.

**66ChevyMax** · 01-18-2016, 10:44 AM

I'm not sure Custom really describes this truck anymore, this thing will be unbelievable! Can't wait for more updates and very much looking forward to seeing the finished product, if such a thing exist

UKNOWME · 01-18-2016, 11:19 AM

Looking great! Better hurry up. You're delaying your 2017 Sema build. Lol

Grizz1963 · 01-18-2016, 05:57 PM

Just getting better and better Mike.

**oldman3** · 01-18-2016, 09:28 PM

Mike, that is some super interior stuff your building, nice job...Jim

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-18-2016, 09:59 PM

Man, the interior of this truck is just awesome! Is that console top he made, made out of wood? I really like the pieces going around and down the back of the seat. is that all steel? Great work here!

**clemdaddy** · 01-19-2016, 08:49 AM

man, you are logging the hours on the interior. looks real trick… can't wait for a ride.
