Re: A '54 named Busty
then I went shopping for the carpet material covering favrick ... in my garage
I recalled when I bought my 5.3L LS engine it came with a roll of black carpet I still don't know why or how I got it but it's all we had so we will give it a shot |

Re: A '54 named Busty
we cut the carpet slightly larger than the hardboard and glueinated them together
here we show you the C clamp we used to hold them together with, over night till the glue dried Last edited by Gregski; 05-26-2021 at 10:38 AM. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
after the glue dried over night we trimmed the edges and punched some holes with the electric hole punch

Re: A '54 named Busty
then it was time to get a handle on things, the junk yard door pulls were too long at 9 1/2" inches and had to be shortened to 6"

Re: A '54 named Busty
had a tough go with my other truck today so had to do something fun on this one
don't just look at it, Look at it, and tell me it aint sick ! everybody digs spikes, and for the record the holes were already there might just rename her Spike, how many of you recall those awesome cartoons unlike the modern 30 minute toy commercials?

Re: A '54 named Busty
went fishing yesterday and caught two 24 inchers, Gray Vinyl Bass, they may be a bit too big to keep, but I wasn't gonna catch and release if you know what I mean
with a little elbow grease and eye brow sweat they should clean up real nice Fun Fact: even vehicales with black interiors still have light gray or baige headliners and therefor visors, sucks |

Re: A '54 named Busty
Sounds like a fish story.
Where is the vanity mirror, I thought everyone needed one "out there".

Re: A '54 named Busty
I need to go out to the garage and look at a truck to see how those will fit.
