Still working on body lines. Making great progress. Here's what it looks like after a little slicing and dicing and bfh persuading.

Took a side step and am focusing on the bed floor for a bit. Designing it in sketchup to work out any bugs.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Its time to get this thread back beating again. I hung all new sheet metal and aligned the panels for the most part. still have a bit of fitting left but for the most part they are fitted. Has anyone sent a rear diff to Moser for rebuild? Coming up next will be front and rear inner fenders, bed wood and the interior. i need some suggestions for vendors for the interior/ buddy buckets, door panels inner door mechanicals. I also am taking suggestions on bedwood. I really like the look of a clear or light maple.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Your body looks way better after you adjusted with the bfh.
I can't help you with the wood bed since I used all steel on mine. hang in there, someone will help you out. |
Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
I would use truckseats (member on the board) for your buddy buckets/door panels. I had him build mine and they turned out great. My door panels match my seats. As far as the wood be careful what you finish it with. I used poly urethane that a paint Store recommended and it ended up sealing the wood too well causing it to crack and split. I ran across another company at good guys that specializes in bed wood and they sell a great product according to them and they say it won't do the same thing. I will look them up when I get home.

I live about 15 miles from Moser engineering- I've never heard anything bad about them.

The problem is there are no "good" upholstery shops here. I live in the sticks!

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Let's talk 2.5" exhaust for a bit. I'm looking at mufflers and wow there's plenty of choices. Im running stock Camaro manifolds. Can I use a 90 after the manifold or should I use two 45's back to the pipes. Any suggestions on mufflers are appreciated. I'm looking for a nice drive able tone that's not too annoying.

It's best to look around and see what kind of reputation a shop has, then ask them for an estimate for the work. But budget a little higher, just in case. |
Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Awesome work! I'm in for updates.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Guys, either my pm's aren't coming through or the few vendors I've contracted are ignoring me. Anyone ever had this issue? Anyways I've sent a few pan's requesting prices in carpet, weather stripping, and seat foam. Not sure what's going on. Anyone have ideas where I can order these items online. Naturally I want the good stuff. Thanks for your input.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
