New Seat Cover and Door Cards

I think it turned out nicely. I'm thinking of doing a Maaco respray (don't judge me...) and putting cypress wood in the bed. Any comments or thoughts? This really is just a pat on the back thread.

And yes, the door cards are from 67-68 and this is a 70 SWB Steppie.

How's this for a pat on the back?

It looks really good. I like the classic look of it, very clean and sharp.

RenoKene: That looks great. I wonder how it would do sitting in the sun?

The heartwood of cypress contains a natural preservative oil which makes it one of the most durable woods for use in exterior applications.

This is from a website I found...I'll post up a link for you.

Re: New Seat Cover and Door Cards

Reno is right about the durability of cypress outdoors. Its first choice in wooden vintage windmills for that and the strength to weight ratio. Heres a pic of it used in this manner on one of mine. The dark rims (ribs) are redwood but that would be too soft for a truck bed. The cypress is harder but probably not as hard as pine.
