Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
View looking into cab. Here the lower panel is also installed. All the floor panels are covered in ultra-leather. I use a home made mat when driving. Its some soft material sewn around some doorboard, nothing special.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
oldman3, very very nice. I love the interior, with the under dash panel and the console. A great looking truck.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
oldman3, No, nothing new be back in the garage this week end. Finished building another bed box and had done a 1939 chevy deck lid (frenched license plate box, rust repair, body work and primer). So back onto the 1954 this weekend. So pictures this weekend.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
What did you use to build the interior out of? Looks like wood?

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Yes it is wood, called lauan, I always use birch but it comes in different types. It is about 1/8" thick. A lot of upholstery shops use it instead of door board.
