Custom homemade interiors

Thanks Mike! Compairing the pic to the real thing I can only assume the flash is making the candy appear brighter because it really is not quite that bright in person.

The seats are currently creme & black velvet. They have also been sold to another club member. The other set that I have will be a tan material to match the top - probably either a factory upholstery material or the micro fiber suede possibly with vinyl trim. I hope to get them done by spring time along with the door panels...... maybe

ah,very nice. It's still a bright as hell colour to begin with,lol.

Who does the upholstery for the seats? Do you do it or have someone do it for you?

I need someone to make me new seat covers,but since I used to build seats for a living,I can upholster them myself. I just can't sew or make seat covers,lol. And if I could,I would.

I do all my own upholstery work. Wife hates it when I hog her machine, but oh well Honestly, sewing up a new cover is not as hard as it seems. Most of the time I take the original cover off, split the seams with a $2.00 seam ripper until I get flat pieces. Use the pieces as a pattern and make new pieces. With some of the lighter weight materials I sprayglue some 1/4" foam to the back side to give it some extra body. Then the fun part - sewing. Adding the cording can be a pain, but is doable with a regular home based sewing maching. Remember, always use upholstery thread!

This what I have done. Smoothed my dash a painted it black colour match the trim and build a custom center console.

solow93: Interior looks pretty good - actually, looks very similar to my daughters build. Actuall, I like the 2 tone dash better that the mono tone, but whats done is done.

What do you have planned for the door panels?

Immortal1, I've carpeted the door panels too I just haven't got any pic's yet and my truck is put away for the winter. But I think I'm going to redo the door panels though I thinking of glassing them but I'm not to sure.
