89 2wd Slow Build

[CGCWO]

Found a bargain at Orileys on a Herculiner 1 gallon kit. I know it doesn't get the best reviews but for $55 it was worth a try and the fact that I already had the bed prepped for painting made it a no brainer to try.

Looks awesome! DIG THAT COLOR!

Catching up on photos of the build as of now. Still have a few things to do, new tie-rod ends and clean up the under carriage along with some new undercoating.

Looking great!

Finally got around to putting on the new tie rod ends, re-mounting the aftermarket AM/FM/CD player and found one of the problems with the vent controls. Seems the last time I had the radio out and put it back in I pushed it against the electrical connection on the back of the controller and unplugged it. Sorry no pic's.  New ball joints will be in the near future.

Will be installing a set of these tomorrow, these were removed from a 79 El Camino. Not the original sets from the Camino, but they were recently recovered and are in excellent shape. Big plus is they fold forward, this will take a bit of work to build the brackets and narrow the sliders on these.

Bucket Seats are in.... a bit more work than expected, but they turned out really nice.

So here is where we are from the beginning to today.

I like the style of them aside from the lack of headrests.

[CGCWO]

Thanks "Dude" I wanted something a bit different and don't care for the headrest taking up the rear window.

Awesome! Great job

[TheDude]

Yeah, they do look really clean without headrests.

I only like headrests for safety reasons.
