Re: show us your interior
Thanks guys. She's come a long way in the past year. Still a work in progress. Interior is pretty much done, just need to install the deluxe heater unit, which I'm in the process of restoring now. What a great old truck. I can't go anywhere without getting lots of thumbs up, smiles (and lots of questions!). I particularly love the interiors of the 55-59 pickups, and I have to say after all the hard work I'm happy with how this one came out. My buddy was trying to convince me to go with just red on the dash, but I'm glad I decided to go with the red and white two tone scheme.

Re: show us your interior
Yes, the two tone is outstanding. Is it automotive base coat/clear coat or rattle can stuff like mine will be for awhile?

Re: show us your interior
Ooh very nice Kid.
Hey Dan actually the dash was done with ppg global base/clear. Door panels and steering wheel too. Rest of the interior was done by the PO and appears to be a single stage enamel, like the exterior. Posted via Mobile Device |

IF I do it'd be with colors like yours. I might only make the white an off white. But the red would definitely be like yours. It just looks great. Congrats! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: show us your interior
Hey Dan yes Ive seen your thread regarding the rattle can dash and frankly thats what gave me the confidence to tackle my dash repairs and get it painted. I was fully intending to rattle can it but then told a buddy of mine who owns a body shop and he said he would help me with the base/clear. I do really love how yours came out and especially like the colors.
Yes I also would have preferred to use Cameo white like I have on my wheels, but at the time, my buddy had this brighter white laying around the shop so I just deferred to his judgement. Plus it was free! THere is something about this particular red that really pops. Its actually, if you can believe it, an Isuzu color. I prefer original colors but I do love this particular red on these old trucks. |

Re: show us your interior
Just start a Photobucket account. Once you do that you can simply copy your img code and paste it into the text you type here. When you then "post" the photo shows up full size.
