Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Man, You have some awesome stuff going on there! I have one complaint.... for how many NOS parts, factory buckets would just complete it! Those seats just aren't doing it for me.
http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/2676718148.html You need these!! |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Good to see you on here Dennis. Silver is looking good. The Camaro looks good also. Glad you finally posted pics of it . The pic in the text you sent had me curious. Post some details for us Camaro guys. I bought a 65 Chevelle because I needed a classic car also. Tried to buy a 69 SS Camaro last weekend but the deal fell through. I like the Z10 style paint on yours.

Thanks for the update Dennis. That is a great stash of new old stock parts. The interior looks awesome. Love the new Camaro too.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
^^^ nice! There's always gotta be atleast 1 intelligent smart ass in every crowd. Don't think mcboom said anything about a pontoon boat ya dip ****! Lol! If the seats look (in anyway) outta place they will be dealt with. I do appreciate constructive criticism.... To a point. Notice I didn't say anything in your build about your seatbelt setup or how it looks like you ran outta coin on the interior
i have another round of pics coming up from the last couple days of work. She's looking amazing and the pics just don't do her justice.Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Ah Dennis, step back and relax...I don't think 73gmc454 meant to rip on your truck, but rather give a little feedback in a fun way.
I am sure the interior will all turn out fine once it is all in place. The seats aren't my cup of tea, but it isn't my truck either. Do what makes you happy, and enjoy building it and driving it. The paint looks great, and I am super excited to see it all finished. I still think you should send me the slots
