Hood, new front bumper and brackets, and nicer headlight bezels all installed. Also ditched the points and added a pertronix and 1.5 Ohm coil.

Washed truck 3 times! Then I scrubbed the bed side. What a difference compared to the door, both are wet.

That looks awesome. What’s the difference between the cab and bed? What did you “scrub” the bed with?

The bed is darker than door. Haven’t scrubbed door yet. I use a couple different things the main thing is finesse. Less is more.

My doors & cowl are a grey primer from the factory and the hood, fenders & bed are black primer form the factory. So the doors look lighter.

Man that truck needs some clear coat once it’s all buffed out

Re: My 1968 C-20 vermillion metallic...1 in a VERmillion
still looking nice.. I was wondering if you had the seat material or did "mark" design your seat? I am looking for someone to do my bucket seats soon and your seat looks nice!!

thanks!

I picked out the material at a local upholstery place. I explained to mark what I wanted layout and pattern wise and he made it happen.

Re: My 1968 C-20 vermillion metallic...1 in a VERmillion
Can you tell me the tire sizes, I looked and it didnt look like it posted when you were asked earlier.

Also can you tell me what they charged to polish your rims. I really like that look and Im going to look in to it up here. Having a baseline price would be good ... Thanks!
