My cheap interior update - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 12-17-2008, 05:01 PM

My door panels were faded and peeling, headliner was sagging and carpet was completely trashed and I HATAED all of the red I scavenged some door panels from a friends trashed burb, seats I got for $100, headliner I had from another project (which is why it's wrinkled), fiberlass for kickpanels I already had, and some carpet I got super cheap on ebay. I think it turned out ok, thanks to "Greenlee " I know how to fab some brackets to get the seats in which should be done in the next week or so.

Here is a before and a few after pics

cochino12 · 12-17-2008, 09:09 PM

Thanks everyone for the compliments, I wish the headliner wouldnt have been wrinkled but I didnt want to spend any more money on it.

I just separated and cut the chrome peice out of my old door inserts and epoxied it over the holes. I'll get some close ups in the morining if you would like

Man i want those seats.

Wish I had your old interior!
Did you repaint and reuse the headliner and pillar trim? Or did you find 'new' parts?

I robbed whatever trim parts I could use from the suburban and dyed the rest.
