Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

Still chipping away at the old truck, interior is put back together minus door sills and getting wrinkles out of the carpet. The new arm rests are way too bright blue, might try to dye them for a closer match to medium blue.

I put on the restored lower molding. I've had this trim done for years just waiting. It was pretty mangled when I took it off, straightened it the best I could and used satin black car wrap material instead of paint. I expect it to hold up pretty well but time will tell. To install the molding I used new plastic clips, removed the double sided tape the clips came with, and instead used 3M molding tape on the clips. This stuff has some serious adhesion.

Also mocked up white steelies and hub caps, gonna look great with new BFGs!
