Love the stripes!

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Super cool. I have the same seat in the same color in my truck.

Love it all the way around.

Took the truck out last night and tried out some new photo ideas I have in my head... some of them turned out ok... lol Some did not... I will go into that on my next post... but for now... here's these.

The burnout photos didn't go so well... haha.

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Ouch!!!!

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Started in on the vintage air install today... I mounted up the Kwik compressor mounts and the compressor and it just didn't go with the theme.. so i threw a little black spray paint on it all.. much better now!! i just love this thing... but i hope this AC install doesn't kick my tail....

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

I love this truck! I gotta get remotivated on Walter. Almost your trucks twin..

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Finished up the vintage air install... went great.. no issues... highly recommend thier kit!!

Moved on to this little upgrade... NRG quick release steering wheel hub... I used a forever sharp steering wheel (amazon) and it worked great!! I did have to drill and tap the NRG hub for the steering wheel bolt pattern but it was not hard at all!!! Here's a quick video of it, post installation.

Here's a quick video of the QD steering wheel hub as well.

I went with the forever sharp steering wheel, the NRG short hub and the NRG quick release.

Could not be more happy with how it turned out!! I did have to drill and tap the NRG QR for the steering wheel bolt pattern but it was not hard at all... i think it turned out great!! it might not be the best for theft deterrent, but hey, i think it looks wayyy COOL!!!

Here's the links to what I purchased and a quick video showing how it works!

Looking good!

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Nice truck!

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

How well did the seat fit, and what did you have to do to get it mounted?

Truck looks great :thumbs:

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

seat fit like it was made to go in there... no mods to the seat... the front two holes lined up and I had to drill two holes for the back mounting bolts.

***Update****

I've made the hard decision that most of us have to make at some point... She's gone. Sold to a cool cat in Stuart Florida. Maybe she will spend the rest of her days cruising the beaches and sipping that cool ocean air.

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Bummer dude, it is/was a cool truck.

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

We have all been there. Congrats on the sell and best of luck with your future builds.

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Congrats. Was the new owner a board member? Will we see it again?

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

I don't think so... he was a big VW guy before this, i think this is his first truck... he upgraded big time..

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
 

Truck turned out great glad it went to a good home..
