Really liking the build Herb. Honestly did not like the look of the truck when I first saw FF was creating one but have seen their completed one in the beautiful blue and it’s really nice. Totally changed my mind and can’t wait to see more trucks built and know yours will be a beauty!

Everything is looking really nice. I admire your craftsmanship! You know, as nicely as the door card is turning out, you might consider selling something like that! HA...
You do nice work, and I am enjoying following your progress!
Door panel looks great Herb! Decide to move the power window switches?

I want to ask about you about those copper fuel lines. Are you concerned about metal fatigue? Won't the vibrations from the engine running loosen the fittings, if not the lines themselves?

hi Dave fuel line no because it is hard plumbed on both ends and I used K copper which is VERY flexible and strong, there are compression fitting should also be fine . the heater lines should be OK for the same reason and where there pass through the firewall I have installed rubber grommets. BUT I plan on keeping an eye on them, thanks for your concerns, Herb
OK well now lets get to the good parts. how do you like my Door Panels ??

Yes I did decide to move them ,I thought the pulls ( doo Handles ) looked out of place the other way . And I like the clean look od the panels, I plan on putting the switches in or on the center console > I love the clean look of the panels and dahs So I will most likely put all or most of the switches in the center console out of sight
FED EX called today bring a BIG pallet of backordered stuff tomorrow

got the seats on Ebay, there are from a company that does conversion vans for disabled people they are brand new leather , only cost $200 for the pair delivered !
I will dye them to match the rest of the leather, Herb
Herb that interior is absolutely stunning! I have not posted anything for a while now but I had to complement you on your build. My daughter just graduated from college so I've decided to start scrounging up my parts for a truck build as well. I've got a '98 silverado that will be giving up the engine and trasmission so mine will be a Chevy powered hotrod as well. My son just started college so it may be a year or two before I can order the kit but by then they will have all the bugs and kinks worked out. I had already planned on engine turning the firewall, as this was common way back in the day, and also on the dash and door panels. I'll be watching this build and can't wait to see how it comes out!
Herb what type of adhesive are you using with the trunk liner?
