I was thinking of recovering my dash pad and door panels with tweed and finding a later model grey bench seat for my 68. Has anyone else used tweed? What do you think of it? Pics please

Tweed was very "in" several years ago. It seems to date vehicles as to when they were built. I personaly don't care for it............but if it floats your boat, that's all that matters.

That looks great, did you just glue the material to the ceiling of the cab?

My 84 has tweed interior in it & I like it just fine, the only problem was that the PO left it in the sun without a visor thingy & it deteriorated the tweed on the dash

Wondering how you did the dash panel and did you do the sun visors also.
