I live in Ontario Canada.

who has the best floor carpet. (F100)

LMC / Carpenter / ????

 

I live in California. Theres a whole bunch of companies that make molded carpets i bought mine through trim parts. I dont like the molded because mine isnt molded right and Ive heard a lot of complaints about them. Im actually going to buy a few yards of some real nice wilton wool carpet. and make my own carpet. If you buy molded I would buy a cheap steamer like the ones that you steam your clothes with to take out wrinkles. It will help relax the carpet when you install.

 

i have been sending your pic to a custom upholster place to see if they can copy your dash, and he was just drooling over your work.

Thanks Im gonna get started on my door panels this weekend. Theyre gonna be whole bunch nicer than my old ones. They might be able to give you some ideas.

 

your old one, went all the way to the window, and all over the steel of the door.

i have yet decided what i am doing with the door. and the overhead. i woudl really like speaker in there.

If your planning on having your truck done by an upholstery shop I would have them custom make you a carpet. To me a fitted carpet looks much better than a molded one. It just depends on how much you want to spend.

 

The goverment of Canada granted me my own coat of arm.

My GF used my coat of arm as part of the seat. ( she had the seat re reupholstered for my bd)

So i am working with the idea, of a green truck, the seat is white and green, black carpet.

and this is it as far as I made it for concept.

 

Its still gonna cover the whole door but I trimmed the two upper edges down, I didnt like how they looked before. If you want some sort of speaker in your headliner I would buy component speakers and put the tweeters in the headliner and hide them under a grille like I did or you can just drill a hole and mount them directly in it. Anything other than tweeter might be too much sound that close to your ears.

 

never thought of that.

My artisitc ability equals those of a 2 years old, lol. I need to look at a lot of picture before i can decide what i am doing.

Your seats were already leather weren't they? Why recover them?

 

Thats cool. Is the coat of arm embroidered in the seat or were just the colors were used. post a pic if you can.

 

The stock leather has some scratches and a small tear on the back. Plus I want to completely reshape the bottom and back seat cushion to gain a little more room.

 

hi

here are the picture of the seat.

or to have a nice pearl green truck, black dash, black door panel, with ??? on it. black carpet,

but i have the graphic ability of a 2 year olds, so i am stuck looking at other people truck.

The seat looks really nice. I like how its real simple and clean. I would keep your door panels simple too so it doesnt take away from your coat of arm, which is your focal point. Since you mentioned the dash and you said you wanted it black, have you thought about having whoever does your upholstery wrap the actual dash. It would be super simple and with a french seam across your dash pad it would give it a real high end look. But it all depends on what look your going for.

 

here what i was thinking.

two tone truck, bottom green top white.

green on all metal inside..

black dash pas.

i really like your intrument panel (you made it??)

i really like the look of a full panel on the inside of the door. ( and i am sure it reduce the noise)

the flame at the bottom pf the panel, green and white upholter???

sun visor / top liner to be black??

thought??
