Interior is a really nice job, and provides inspiration for me..thanks (as does the whole truck).

They are cobra boomer seats
This is where you can get a pair for yourself.

Hey Everyone. I am posting here as well as the parts section... I wanted some spring special trim pieces to complete a tailgate trim piece.. I ended up having to buy a complete set from a guy and
I am only going to use the two U shape pieces and 1 of the long stainless pieces and 1 long metal piece. the set I have is complete and in good shape... I really hate to cut up a complete set so if anyone has just the pieces I need to do my project. PM me and well figure out how to trade things around so this complete set stays together..

This is what they should have done......spring special on tailgate to finish off the cool ass trim

You're Right, that looks GREAT Don! I've always loved that trim and the taillights look awesome as well.  

Nice looking truck. Like the front bumper, do you know what it came off of?

I believe it's off a 68 Camero. I like it but I am planning on modifying it during the paint this winter

I couldn't leave well enought alone........ I just stripped Winstin down and sent him to the body shop for a complete show quality paint...I'll upload pic's tomorrow

Also I am still willing to sent the exploded PDF in anyone wants a copy just pm me your email address...

PM on it's way!

To all those wanting pic and diagram I'll load them over this coming weekend...

these are photos of work being done now



Primer



custom made fiberglass tonneau cover... i made a mold for this as wells as the custom side panels and corner pieces..



these are the sides and corner pieces... mind you the are not painted yet but i am sure you all can vision my thoughts

That is brilliant man, love that cover!
Primer looks like epoxy, yeah?

I'm  pretty sure it is.. I thought the truck was strait to begin with.... Man was I wrong. Now it's a work of art. I shaved the bolts from the grill and it now bolts in from behind. The hot rod shop I'm using here is doing a great job. I am going to use  Frost Turquoise (Light Auqua) Color. That the color the interior was.   I'll be loading more pictures this weekend.. It should be in paint by next week then the fun begins again.... Puttin it all back together again! Third time alway the charm right? I started a thread about the tonneau cover I should and will be using it to let people know ther is a mold so if someone else wants one it's now available

Can't wait to see it complete. Looks Fantastic and Great Job with the tonneau cover! I'm sure you'll be getting lots of requests!

Yeah the semi gloss of the epoxy primer really shows little imperfections, dents, etc.
Great to do a coat and then fill in the dents etc and them epoxy again over top.

Hey all.. thought I would share some pictures of Winstin with all the stuff back on. I am in the middle of putting new interior in and should be done by the end of this weekend. I am never taking this truck apart AGAIN !!! I have learned a ton of new things like taking the ignition switch out takes about 5 minutes but putting it back takes an hour. Make sure you label ALL OF YOUR Wires not just the pretty colored ones...Black or green doesn't mean ground....be specific on the color you want( that's a big one). I have had a great time with this truck and look forward to finally just enjoy it.









Powder coating. I did the tailgate pins and the grill. I also modified the grill to remove the bolts from the front. It now bolts in from the back.

Wow man, that is stellar!

That is Gor-Jusssss! Love the wheels and the Chrome trim!!!

awesome looking paint job. Love the color. Congrats on getting her done.

Beautiful truck. I'll want to get one of those tonneau covers when I finally get an epup.

Really sweet!

very nice work going on there...

If we are putting in orders I want a tonneau cover too.

This is as far as I got this weekend on project in the interior. Fred Carello made the engine lid for me. The seats are from a 66 Mustang deluxe. headliner and sun visors were just recovered along with the back surrounds by myself.

I made a mold for the Tonneau cover and side panel. it is still at the paint shop and I will post when it's completed. I want to make sure it fits in perfectly so I don't suffer from foot in mouth disorder...

Can't beat Fred's work. Good stuff.
