Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Hey guys!
I have been slackin on updates so here are a few... I received the material samples for my seat, so I matched them to carpet samples that I had already acquired, and ordered my carpet...(I can't wait to see the seat) My carpet arrived, so I started the install...(did I mention that I can't wait to see the seat?) I will be ordering some additional carpet & floor-mats to finish-up all of the visible areas, but this is what it looks like so far.    Did I say that I can't wait to see the seat????...Clem? Are you there? LOL!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Hey guys!
I spent the last two weekends sanding & rubbing this thing! What a huge amount of work!!! I started off wet-sanding with #1500 grit and did a combo of wet-sanding by hand and using a D-A with #3000 grit. The pictures don't really give any justice to how nice it really looks. I am thoroughly pleased!!! 3M makes some nice products, but you get what you pay for... Here's a few pics.       I still need to rub the hood & front fender extensions, but I am getting there!!!
