Re: Project "Popeye"
Hey ya'll, hard to believe it's been 8 years since I started this build. Still checking off a small list and removing the little "bugs" one at a time. He doesn't get driven enough but I'm working on that. I "finished" the interior more or less with matching door panels, white wolf speed shop headliner and a '66 C10 steering wheel that fits the column much better. It's not the color scheme I originally planned, but it has really grown on me. I also mini-tubbed and raised the bed floor for wheel and pumpkin clearance.
Popeye got plenty of attention this weekend at the Hotrod Holiday in Springfield, MO. Mostly people are surprised at the engine and interior, they seem to expect like many rusty trucks that it's just thrown together. I'm happy when they realize it's not just a pile of junk parts. I wish they could see the chassis too.

Re: Project "Popeye"
thats awesome, I was just thinking of this truck the other day. From about 8 or so years ago when I joined the thread. Not too many of that crowd seem to be on the thread too much. Always loved this truck. Interior looks great. I totally agree with wishing people can really take in the hours and money that go into these. They about poop their pants when you tell them the parts alone are 15-20k as opposed to the 5-8k they think is. The 60's wheels do look good in these trucks also! congrats.
