The break lines, door handles and kick panels look great, along with everything else! your attention to detail is phenomenal.

Thanks for the compliments, Cam. I'm better than some, but there are a LOT better than me. There are home builders on here that just amaze me with their talent. Detail is one of those things that doesn't cost to much, but sure pays off in the end.

Pic 1 Because of console and interior design, must modify outlets for heat & air.

Pic 2 Closed off the bottom and will add two outlets on the side, using ABS cement.

Pic 3 Unit in place, still not right, will need to change again, in way of panel fitment.

[oldman3]

Pic 1 Removed piece, cut hole and will cover and attach pieces again, for pass. side.

Pic 2 Had to change angle to straight down.

Pic 3 Will clear panel now.

[oldman3]

Pic 1 New dash pad received, will cover with new leather.

Pic 2 New leather glued to pad.

[David67]

beautiful!! extremely nice work.

[oldman3]

Thanks, appreciate the kind words, your truck is coming along very nice been watching for a few weeks...Jim

At this point in the build I started working on the interior. Don't have a ton of pics, but I will try to give as much detail as I can. I don't do interiors for a living, I've learned a few things watching other people, reading articles, looking at tapes & dvd's, etc. Hope you enjoy.


Starting out making up the floor panels. Floor will also be covered in Ultraleather and not carpet. (My floors are done this way in my 50 AD). This is drivers side under seat panel. I use 1/8" lauan panels, than I buy from local lumber yard. Pieces have been cut, and I have fiberglassed them together for the shape I need. Most panels are two layers of 1/8" which give a total thickness of 1/4".

[oldman3]

Here I've jumped to the pass. side so you can see a completed panel and how it turned out. Seat will be placed on top of this panel and bolted thru floor where the two bolts are now.

[oldman3]

I'm now working on center part on pass. side, lauan has been cut for shape. Narrow strips were cut and laid to form a bend to match floor. Then I put fiberglass mat to hold shape. This panel has a small lip that goes under the side console panel to hold it down, plus the chrome strips at door (later you will see what I mean in pic). This will also have a second layer on this.

Top notch work as usual, couple questions...

What are those little switches next to the shifter? i probably missed it, Power windows?

And i might be jumping the gun with this one but what steering will did you go with?

Thanks, yes switches are for power windows. Went with a Lecarra wheel four spoke I thing it was a MK9 from Yogi's, we matched the leather to his ultraleather.....Jim

The first pic in #423 is impressive. All those measuring tools I see lying around have been of great assistance, I bet. Fine work as always, Mr. Jim.
