Mrs72shadetree · 12-28-2003, 11:07 PM

here is a pic of my door panels with all the new goodies. I did steal the nut things from shadetrees but I bought him some of those clips to replace them..

DanoDMano · 12-28-2003, 11:08 PM

Those are real nice!! What type of material did you use?? They look black in the photo, is that the color??

I would love to do that to mine!!

Mrs72shadetree · 12-28-2003, 11:09 PM

Mrs72shadetree · 12-28-2003, 11:11 PM

Mrs72shadetree · 12-28-2003, 11:13 PM

It is rare that someone will cut the dash but not the doors.
The dash cut is not that bad, I think if I would have had my choice of a mild dash cut or speaker holes in the doors. I would have chosen the dash.
Those door panels turned out great, what is next?
Maybe a new keychain :- 0

Mrs72shadetree · 12-29-2003, 12:18 AM

Hutch next is a new bench seat.... I am tired of not getting to drive my truck when we all want to go somewhere so that is definitly next . the hubby is driving it more than I am and I DON"T like that idea at allllll.

Another boardmember has a stock bench seat for sale that has been recovered. It looks very nice.
Here is a link with a pic.
Blue seat
His board name is Blue68

**old Rusty C10** · 12-29-2003, 01:16 AM

looks real good simple but elegant!

junkyardjohn · 12-29-2003, 01:34 AM

LOOKS GREAT.... I'VE DONE SEVERAL TRUCKS IN BLACK VINAL BUCKETS & BLACK VINAL DOOR PANELS IN ROLLED & PLEATED OR ROLLED & TUCKED STYLE. YOU'RE DASH DOESN'T LOOK HACKED TOO BAD. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE ONE OF THESE ALUMINUM BEZELS, LIKE THIS ONE. I BOUGHT THIS ONE OFF EBAY FOR $22. FOR A CURRANT PROJECT WITH A CUT DASH.

Mrs72shadetree · 12-29-2003, 02:46 AM

im wanting a newer model seat.thanks on the bezel will keep it in mind.....

the dash is not that bad but you need to see where some idiot wanted more light and didnt have a saw.took a drill and kept drilling holes together to make about a 2in square hole in between the visors to put another dome light...

thats right i have 2 dome lights and neither of them work because the idiot didnt know what he was doing.......

onelow69 · 12-29-2003, 03:58 AM

Hey junkyardjohn.
I tried looking for thoese aluminum bezels on ebay and could not find them. Could you send me the proper link.
Thanks onelow69

**Palf70Step** · 12-29-2003, 10:22 AM

Panels look great. Really sets things off well.

GMC69 · 12-29-2003, 12:47 PM

If you are looking for a newer model seat, I used the 40/20/40 bench seat out of a 96 dodge ram. It will need a bit of tweaking on the mounts to make it the right height cause it sites pretty high at the momment, but I paid 250$ for it about 5 years ago. By now there should be alot more of those seats on the marlet.

Nice to have that huge console/armrest in the middle that we can both use but then lift it up and have a 3rd person in it.

Yet another "boz-all" moment

BTW, I like the panels!

jamis · 12-29-2003, 01:38 PM

That dash is perfect, now just finish the cut to fit a DIN radio in.

The door panels look sweet, good job
