I was thinking of trying to do my own carpet using this stuff:

I thought that might be what you did. Question would be how it would hold up without stitching.

Good question, I have no idea.Quote:

Everything is looking really nice!
That looks like the ticket I needed right there. :LOL:Quote:

While they where woodworking I put my park brake and mufflers back on.

Very nice console and I like your park brake setup. Eventually I would like to go to that. For now, I'll let the ground hold mine. :LOL:
Back to the console, I'm actually thinking of putting my fuse box in my console. I'm so tired of laying on the floor between the seat and lower a pillar looking up checking fuses and wiring. I'd rather open a cover and look some what down and have access to it all.
Yes, I regret putting my fuse box under the dash in an awkward to see place. Hind site is 20/20.
I don't think my fuses should be too difficult to access, the console is more of a wire raceway than anything. Here is a preview of the upholstery, all the upper panels are sheet metal and removable so I have access to all the wiring and shifter. The panel between the seats will have a switch for the cutouts and three buttons, high beams, park brake and overdrive, the back of the console also has cigarette lighter plug and USB plug. I will be putting an amp and a digital media player under the passenger seat powering two 6.5" kicks up front, two 4x10" in the cab corners and an 8" square subwoofer between the seats.

Wow, that looks really good.
Excellent work
So something like this.

The red really POPS in there!
It's really eye-catching indeed.
It looks really nice. I should do something like that for my 53. We have a cheap Wall Mart cup holder in it now. Yours looks better:)
Kick panels and subwoofer box are built.

Changed headers out and rebuilt from the header to the flex pipe.

The bottom of the car looks great, nice job fitting the exhaust in there!
Nice! Big block, three speed trans, and 3.50 gears. That should have an impressive off the line launch.
Also added a line lock and a gear splitter. :DQuote:

Next door the neighbor is hard at work on the seats, here is how they are turning out.
Attachment 75303
That is looking great! On the headliner, did you have to cut it, or just heat and bend it after taking measurements?
The headliner itself I ordered from someone it was already shaped, we still have to do a little cutting and some heating on the sides above the doors, the panels from the headliner down we are making from flat pieces.Quote:

Should finish up the panels this weekend and pull them back out for upholstery, then we can start running all the wiring, get next door and finish sanding the bed and get it on and out of the paint booth. My battery holder is located under the passenger front fender.
Attachment 75348
Got a lot done, looks good. Interesting location for the battery.
All but the headliner are back out of the truck, need to figure out wiring, also headed back next door to finish sanding the bed.
Here is the flux capacitor.

some 4x10 in the corners, 6" was a smidge too big.

hiding the amp and media player under the passenger seat.

driveshaft is installed.
Attachment 75374
power steering hoses are on.
Attachment 75375
Looking good, the finishing up details sure do eat up a bunch of time and money, don't they? I always figure when it looks like you have a couple of good days work left things should be wrapped up in a month or three!
Impressed how you fit those speakers in there.
Very nice work! All the little things needed to finish a build sure take a long time to find and get so you can keep making progress. Did you cast or have the piece on the back of the rear end laser cut out?
still working on things

I think the rear panels are finished, everything needs to come back out.

Yesterday I added a couple coats of deck sealer to the bottom side of my bed wood, plus some of the shiny parts waiting for their new home.
Attachment 75393
Looks great, very nice work!
Times 2! Gonna be sweet!
Ditto! What they said!!
Your upholstery work looks great!
That red interior is going to be so nice!
Thanks everyone, been a bit busy lately.

Top shelf fabrication! It's going to be a sweet truck!
Thank you, its not without it's flaws but then again maybe we are just looking close at every detail. I am not complaining. Also bought my brother a super bright shop/inspection light that really lets you see the imperfections in the paint. Here is also a little walk around I did, the sun was behind a cloud so the purple pearls were not popping.Quote:

Sweet Ride!
Looking good. Are you going to do the painting on everything? I'm getting close to that point and have a lot of anxiety about how it's going to come out, color matching, gloss, do I have enough paint. Do you mix all your cans of paint together to keep it matching?
