Looking like a pro is doing the interior Roger. Great thread to follow for ideas on my own truck.

Thanks, Steve. I put off posting the details, but then thought "...if I'm trying to figure this stuff out......", so I posted. I'm sure it's old hat to many of the guys & gals here.

I'm waiting to see how you do your carpet. I really don't like how mine was done. It looks and feels nice, but for what he (I !!) paid for the material, don't think it will survive more then a couple years of regular driving (now, 'regular driving' that's a laugh-with a snow storm predicted for April Fools Day)

Dave,
Because of the tranny hump and the need to bind the edges of that piece I am having the carpeting done at the shop that has been selling me products in Olathe, KS. I also have a bundle of wires coming up the middle between the seats, since I moved my window & seat switches to the little console, so we're bringing the carpet toward the middle, leaving a gap for wires, and then putting a 6" strip down the middle, tucked under the console back and the back wall panel, and held down in between by the e-brake trim ring. I think with a walking foot sewing machine I could probably do it, but decided to farm out the carpeting.

Roger - that is kinda what I'll have to do. Right now, my wires are fan spread up the center and I do want to cluster them better - that was my screw up, not the upholsterers. Then the fact I noted above about the material. Regardless, I'm interested in how you do the center strip - I have a tendency towards using an exotic wood with a good distributor (Curtis Lumber) only 4-5 miles up the road - but that's for another day/winter. I do have a wood riser for the shifter trim ring, but currently that is only red oak.

Now, you have me thinking ---- hmmmm

Roger, I'll let you use the Pfaff machine I recently acquired to sew your entire interior with only one catch, you've got to come to Florida to get it.
Keep up the excellent photo journal, it's inspiring.

Mike
