Ok! Ok! Ok! Check back tomorrow night as they are putting the finishing touch on it (final buffing, cleaning all crevices and applying a finish hand applied glaze). Will have pictures out in the sunlight of the outside and inside.
Patience! Patience! (I am excited also

Looks great, can't wait to see more pics of it.

ChevLoRay · 06-27-2004, 10:28 AM

My '69 was black when it was new. It has both upper and lower side trim. I want to remove the upper, and just leave the lower. So, seeing your truck is very good in helping me to make my decision.

Looks very nice. Congratulations are ordered.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-27-2004, 10:46 AM

Very nice looking truck... Are those light cover's custom made or did you order them from somewhere...

**HOTFUN** · 06-27-2004, 11:31 AM

Those are a "bored in the winter" project. I made them out of alum. road sign(sshhh). Made patterns out of cardboard after finding the right size bowties.Rough cut with jigsaw then hand filed to final shape. Sanded smooth with power sander then handed sanded 600 grit. Polished with red rouge then white rouge. To install I took a cardboard pattern the shape of the piece and taped it to each lens and then sprayed with flat black to keep light from showing around edges. Very "labor" intensity project. Was going to use on my truck but my brother-in-law begged so much I gave them to him. Anyone wanting to make their owm I will be glad to make a pattern off each and send them to you. (whew,my "finger" is tired from typing)
