Here's the before pic of the seat and tracks. I have blasted, and re-painted the tracks, and I have the seat covered and complete, but I haven't taken pictures yet. I can say wow! Wait till you guys see the seat!

I will show some here in TN. if I can get it finished. I do not know the dates of the other shows you mentioned, I'd like too! The bed is taking alot of time, and I need an exhaust heat riser! That thing has really got me held up! I have the fenders done, working on the 3rd hood, ugh! Cowl is almost finished. I still have a long way to go....

The Super Chevy Show is April 17th so I'm guessing you won't be ready by then ;) Are you looking for the heat riser still?

You are right, I won't make the Super Chevy Show, but I will be close to the Southeast Show by then.

WOW Thank You ! I hope you are right! Someone made the comment to me that this truck would roll over their camera's someday. It could happen....

You are a sick SOB and I love it! I will I had the time and money to satisfy my OCD. Your build is what I have been doing in my head for years. Thank you for the pictures. I thought I was stupid for thinking of painting bolts after they were installed. Some day I will do a build to make me happy but until then I can watch yours.

LOLOL! Heck I even clear coated every piece that is exposed metal, park cable ends, all steel lines, even the rubber brake line ends. Yeah, I got it bad! But I want it to stay this way for years to come, without surface rust on the little parts. It's just what it takes to do it right!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 
right on...i'm really diggin that headliner too...looks really nice! i can't believe you found all these original parts...i'm pretty sure you made a lot of guys jealous with this build.

roadracer9 04-06-2010 10:50 AM

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 
The cover is from the same guy I got the parts from.

The truck build is pretty popular around my small town. And you guys have made a pretty good fuss about it as well! And I truly Thank You All!
