Don't let Andy get to you. Orange is the most awesome color you could have painted your ride. I love the tan interior. I went with gray because I would have gotten tan dirty to easily.

Andy is just jealous your ride is painted and his are not.

I really like it. Nice work!

Quick question...are those the airplane style latches? Where did you get the belts? I've been looking at Autoloc(Hoffman group) as they have them in several different colors. Thinking that I will go blue with similar light tan interior on mine.

I got them at Dan's CLassics in Portland Oregon...They have a website, but I went down there to get a good look at the colors. They have a ton of colors and they all come with chrome latches. You can get retractable or just normal.

Aaron!

Top notch looking interior you have congrats!

I too do not want my soon to be painted truck to have that Halloween feel about it and looking into Saddle Tan color dyes.

Awesome. You did a great job. I never thought of bondo-ing the scroll work in the door panels. I hate the scrolls, too. Will the bondo flex with the panel? Just wondering if it could possibly pop off at all. I also want to paint my gauge cluster cause I think it should match the glove box door and the rest of the dash. I was thinking of removing the grain in the gauge cluster by using high solids filler primer until smooth and then painting it. I was going to leave the inside edge the round gauge pods black though for depth.

I think it's pretty flexible and it bonded really well to the panels...I've had to take them off a handful of times and there has been no cracking or flaking at all. I think the gauge cluster is a good idea...it might take a while to get it right though...Good idea. I just had a design drawn out today to maybe have the door panels pin striped where I filled the scrolls...Im thinking something more modern and simple though...
