Re: 69 Custom 30 wrecker restoration

Ok, it's been a few more days. I finished the reupholster of the seat and vinyl sprayed it. Looks great! I'm very happy with it. Gas tank is back in, floor mat in and the seat reinstalled. Now it’s starting to look like something!

I’m not happy with the repro floor mat fit. It doesn't seem wide enough as there is a 3/4 inch gap on both sides. (and that is without the padding, worse when I used that)

Originally this would have been “color keyed” maroon but I think I will just leave it black rather than wasting any more money on it to make it maroon. While I really like the mats in these trucks, I may have to switch over to carpet eventually. I have mats in my other trucks and found these start to dry rot and crack around the 2 year old mark. Cheap Chinese rubber! !@#!@ I'm not wasting any more money on these mats, I’ve bought my last one! It's a shame the quality of some repro parts.
