You're a good man, Bat!!!
That was really nice of him and good on you for seeing what he did. Anymore you can't hardly help anyone without getting something bad in return and you won't even know it at the time.
Thanks,adds to enjoymint knowing a few others get some idea that can help them!
For my 71st B-day,my son got me a chrome one wire GM alt.,so I took off the 6wire not chrome Ford alt and remot reg.,I did a small mod to the bracket for fitting GM and looks good now,lots less wiring.
That's awesome and it looks great!
Started trying to do the wood lip around the rear of cockpit,so it will both hold snaps for top and the upholstery under it. I looked at some Oak to do it with,but cost was 3x what popluer was,,going to stain it anyway to kind of match steeringwheel ,dash and rear rack
It looks mighty fine. Are you gettign excited? :LOL:
Thinking about what to do for upholstery?Kind of stuff I do when I'm out of parts for a time!
If you can make your self a drawing.
Trying to think ahead some on what to do helps on my old rod. This time,I know I will not put it back all black like it was=too hot to set on in Florida sun,but back then the black vinyl was a free-B from Nuwt.
Anyway I'm painting rod the same way ,all hi gloss black,with the yellow motor.
Thinking black and yellow upholstery to match. But this time, were we're sitting mostly yellow with black outer framing.
Here's how I'm working out my ideas. I first make my self a drawing with just out lines shown in fairly plan photo,no detail and copy that a few times so I can then add detail a few other ways.
I only did 1/2 the detail here cuz I got lazy after trying to do too much on the first drawing in next post.,but same design both sides with black about 5 or 6in. panel down center
I'm liking #2 drawing cuz door an side panel match seat best,both have two yellow roll-n-plates panels. Rug all black.
What an excellent idea with the drawings. Have you thought about using an off white / cream colour upholstery with the yellow insert ? There is a guy on the Hamb building a T who is living in Arizona and he has the same problem, black upholstery is too darn hot for sitting on so is going with a white trim. Another idea is all white with yellow piping around the edges.
Hi Whiplash23T,thanks,
I've been playing with ideas,using the yellow as every were I'm actully setting ,but keeping the black also that I had in her in highschool kind of helps me not to get too far from how I had the old gril. These were some other ideas I did on drawing,but turned out the one I like best is with two panels that match seat.
No, the top or first drawing is the way to go but that is just my humble opinion too.
I like the top one as well and you are a very good artist!
I kinda like the second one with the diamonds touching, it's unique and a cool design.
I'd prefer the lower one with the diamonds not touching.. If you were asking.... LOL...:):LOL::):D
I figguerd I'd post all the drawings and maybe they could also give some one some ideas for there own cars. Thanks for yu'all's input.
I had deside on the first drawing as my go with.
I appreciate all you guys whom share your interior builds as I'm going to rework mine this winter. Bye bye purple! :LOL:
