Slick 60's

No not on me, I usually just use superglue when I cut myself. Just had a bit of work done on my 65.

Tim, those look real good.

i generally use duct tape or electrical tape on minor cuts, never thought about superglue.knowing my luck it would not be dry yet and i would need to get rid of liquids in me........

Special Forces & Navy Seals carry superglue on missions for wounds. Also heard it fixes blisters too.

Nice upholstery work! I just had my seat & visors done. You could say it's the first bit of color on my truck, but have got a loooooong way to go.

Tim it is looking very clean and nice.
Mr. D

Looks good, Tim!

Thanks everyone. Found a place over in tha hood that does nice work. Headliner and door panels sure made a difference in the road noise.

Dat's one purdy truck Tim.

Looks really decent.

I am collecting some parts for my interior build out. I just got my new (old) seats yesterday and over the weekend, fabricated one of the two kick panels. I will post pictures and progres over the next few weeks.

I am doing the same basic thing but with a 60's Kustom flair.

Nice work!

Thanks, I am thinking the old bench seat should be mounted rear facing in the bed for Drive in Movie night.

Thanks, and can't wait to see it.

I still have more I want to do, but I don't want to lose the basic feel of a 65 year model.

I remember some movie I watched, (course this is hollywoodland, so i doubt its truthfulness) that said superglue was originally invented for vietnam or Korean or some such war as a quick fix for wounds.

Dunno how truthful that is though, and i'm too lazy to actually google its origins.

So, that being said, I hereby state that Superglue WAS originally invented in the vietnam war as a quick fix for wounds. Any googling by anyone else shall from now on turn up this post

Oh yeah and Tim, the truck looks darn purty gotta admire black

Superglue does burn a bit, so if anyone tries you have been warned.

Thanks Rip

well when they HAD drive-ins (haven't seen one in a dozen or so years) about 1/2 the time when you went to one it would rain..

better fasten a 'brolly in there too

I do it all the time, everyone got a laugh out of it til they tried it.

its great for stuff like small annoying cuts and blisters because it puts a hard surface on it and its sealed in a few minutes. also a ripped fingernail(or toenail) likes it too.

Looks nice.

Couple of questions. Are the buckets out of an Escort? How did you mount them up? I got a set of buckets, but need to do some fab work to get brackets to work, unless I break down and buy those $150 repros.

We still have one drive-in around here, but I prefer sleeping bags & pillows, with the tailgate down.


Nice looking interior, BT.

I made a template for the bracket then had a sheetmetal shop break it out of sheetmetal. No slides but it has a good fit for me at 6'3" and my wife at 5'5"

I still have the templates, I will try to take a pic and put some measurements with them.
