Looks good...Jim

lower50's · 02-28-2017, 01:02 AM

Oh I love colours that look a bit different in different light. Is there any pearl in it?

J48chevy · 02-28-2017, 08:27 AM

No pearl in it just think the lights make it look that way.

Better pic of color.

J48chevy · 03-07-2017, 09:15 PM

Had to set a gauge in also. Making small strides.

drivea55 · 03-07-2017, 10:50 PM

oh my... that is one clean and classy dash.

lower50's · 03-08-2017, 06:34 PM

I like a lot!!

J48chevy · 03-08-2017, 07:55 PM

Seats installed today. They fit great and have power and heat. Came out of a 2008 Impala SS. Getting closer to doing interior sound deadner and carpet.

J48chevy · 03-08-2017, 07:56 PM

Front view.

**youngrodder** · 03-08-2017, 10:16 PM

I like those seats. They have a nice shape to them (power and heat isn't bad either)..

Marc

J48chevy · 04-24-2017, 08:08 PM

Making a little more progress. Sound deadner tomorrow then time to work on center console. Will have to paint the radio delete to match the dash, but will leave the speaker grill and glove box stock. I think it goes well with my interior.

J48chevy · 04-24-2017, 08:08 PM

Another pic.

J48chevy · 04-24-2017, 08:09 PM

One more.

lower50's · 04-25-2017, 07:49 AM

It's turning out very nice. What sound deadner are you going with?

99 to Life · 04-25-2017, 10:29 AM

looking good

Flysocal · 04-25-2017, 10:35 AM

Me likey

Erics51chevy · 04-25-2017, 10:58 PM

great progress. The body work looks great and love the color.

J48chevy · 04-26-2017, 10:47 AM

I am trying a product called G-Matt. Covering as much as I can on roof, behind the seat, and anywhere else I can put it. Haha

Making some more progress. Not the fastest build ever but having fun.

J48chevy · 07-04-2017, 05:00 PM

One more. Going to work on getting entire front sheet metal bolted on for mock up next week. Getting closer to being on the road someday. Haha

**Advanced Design** · 07-04-2017, 06:10 PM

Looking very good!

**mongocanfly** · 07-04-2017, 06:37 PM

Looks great...what size tire and wheel you got..they look good on the truck..

Flysocal · 07-04-2017, 07:29 PM

Truck looks fantastic. Similar firewall and engine setup to mine. Radiator and fan might be tight like mine was.

Yes that is what I was wondering. Figured I may have to run a pusher fan.
