Re: Better kickpods in 60-66 Trucks

Here is the driver's side kickpanel ready for vinyl. I will use vinyl top adhesive and brush it on versus using a pot sprayer. Bushing it on will eliminate the bumps. Do not use a spray can adhesive as it will not hold...

For vinyl, I highly encourage the use of Katzkin vinyl. I have used this for years and on one of my CES cars back in 2002, I used Katzkin and almost 15 years later the vinyl still looks great.

When I am stretching vinyl, I use a space heater and a heat gun to keep the vinyl very, very warm. Starting from the deepest part of the panel...in this case, below the mid-bass driver, I slowing work the vinyl across until there are no stretch marks. You will notice, that there are no relief cuts either and this from a guy who is a novice at stretching vinyl. You can find Katzkin on-line and get it in about 30 colors...
