Thanks for the warm welcome. I am not sure where the seat came from. I will check with the shop doing the build (Art Morrison chassis, Wilwood brakes, the whole nine yards). I did delete the cup holders from the center fold down.
Received a lot of advice on here to figure out how to install all of the interior panels! Seats and panels are done in Cuirtex - a hybrid leather/synthetic material that was really nice to work with.
The name embroidered above the seat is a signature pulled from the original owner's will - his grandchildren/great grandchildren have kept the car in the family and had it restored for an upcoming wedding.
looks great mike! Where did you get the stainless/aluminum trim for your doors. Also, Naseem I accidentally flagged his post trying to tag him. Can you correct this please?
Here’s my work. it’s almost embarrassing putting it up with all this work from others so much better. Customer wanted it all white and simpler. Little plain for me but that’s okay
The trim cones factory on then later model cst trucks and blazers I believe. I have done a couple trucks like this. You can find them here and there on eBay but I don’t think they make them as a reproduction part.
Here is an international scout dash I finished wrapping. I don’t do much wrapping so I’m happy with the results and learned along the way. 2 questions. What’s the best way to keep your seam straight then gluing? Also to avoid the ledge when the seam is glued down, should I have foam backed it, or trimmed it closer to the stitch and the stitch would have tricked the eye to not see the ledge?
I trim it close to the stitch and just apply glue to the seam and dash where I want the seam first and carefully put it down first also if you can use foam that will help I’m sure Fred or some of the guys on here can explane it better I’m self taught so mine may not be the best way but it works for me
I've been cutting close to the stitch, gluing the seam and laying that down, letting it dry then leaving a 5mm or so gap where theres no glue before fixing the rest down.I'm trying to get a skiving machine to work properly to reduce the ridge even more.
I'm still trying to work out how to get the seams nice and straight though.
New custom bow headliner created for a chopped 1948 Ford pick up. The sun visor had to be cut down to only 3 inches deep because the original covered the entire drivers view.
Finished this up last week. The seat and kicks were built in house, the door panels were from Rod Doors and provided by the customer to be covered to match.
