Had a few oz of paint left over from the fenders, dug some metal door panels out and sprayed them.


No more cardboard

Looks good. I just ended up painting my door panels white like the rest of the truck as well. Last weekend that is. The metal door panels have been growing on me. I must be just liking the simplicity.

Picked up a rear seat from a superduty, I have same one in my 68. They fit perfect and are a lot more comfortable than the old spring and burlap seats.

This is a pretty cool build. Nice job. I’ll have to put you on speed dial to walk me through welding on patch panels. Looks like you have quite the collection. Nice job.

My 68, use sliders off of original seat bolt them back in truck and mark holes in new seat. Drill 4 holes in new seat frame bolt original sliders on.
