Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Working on the door panels. Don't have pic showing much detail, but the slats have been glued in place. Then the tweed material is glued down and stapled to the first panel.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Here the upper and lower panels cover with ultra leather, then glued and stapled to the first panel, for the finish panel, with arm rest installed.

Turned out really nice. I will admit that I have seen more bad roadster conversions than good so usually don't care for them. Yours has just the right amount of chop and great profile.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I went for about 5 years without doing the top interior. I had been working on a rebuild for a good friend (more on that later). Anyhow here is the build on the top interior.
Pic 1 I had about 80% of the interior thought out, except for the corner pieces (that's another reason for taking so long ![]() ![]() Pic 2 The other side. (both of these pieces are held in place with the Xmas tree type plastic clips)

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Again a general view. Since I already had the exterior top material on the top, it made it harder to work on this, and not mess up something

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Before the leather is pulled over the foam, you spray glue to both pieces, then let it tack up good, then work from center toward the outside edges, and press down. I use a bondo spreader for this. Then staple in place

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Here both front panels are done and the corner pieces, covered and installed. The corner pieces are held in with plastic xmas tree door panel clips.
