Here are some pics of my interior work on a 1975 Ford F100 Ranger XLT:

 

Your floor looks really good. Just out of curiosity, why did you not remove the dash for painting? Please report back with a interior sound difference when you get her all buttoned up.

 

I see we are on the same path with the bed liner interior, please report back on how it works out for you.

I plan on using Herculiner....Hang in there with the rest looking good.

 

The monstaliner is soo great. It cured well in very low temps..negative temps some nights. Has nice clean finish and you can choose what color you like. I paid $166 for the gallon kit and used half and saved the other half. I am very glad I went with monstaliner. I heard horror stories about the herculiner and i didnt want to risk having it turn out bad. Herculiner is hard to clean and dosent adhere as well from what I read. Monstaliner has smooth bumps and easy to wipe down. Im glad I spent the money.

 

Looking really good so far. What type of paint did you use for the rest of the interior?

 

Self-Etching Primer
Rustoleum Flat Black
Eastwood 2k Clearcoat
Rustoleum Automotive Clearcoat(touch-up)

 

Also just noticed that you did not remove the dash pad, it's not that bad of a job. It's about as fun as the glove box trim ring....But look's like you worked around it anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion on the Monstaliner, I am checking into it.

 

Thanks for the info hylankyler. Much appreciated.

 

Looks good. I am planning on using monstaliner too. Lol first I have to freshen up my suspension and replace an oil pan gasket. So it is about a year off.

 

Looks great. I was wondering how the monstaliner holds up.

 

I've had monstaliner on the "bottom half" of the exterior of my 75 for 9 months in Texas heat and cold no chips peels or anything. It looks great and is tough. I spent the extra time and money and sprayed it. Go to my gallery to see a picture. (It's the white portion)

 

Hylankyler, nice job, but....are you putting carpet down or anything over this, or is it done? If you could get any color, why would you chose white, when the rest of your interior is black? Not quite getting this.

Never heard of the monstaliner. . . you mix it to whatever color? And roll in or spray? And also the step with layin plastic in a mysterious black substance?

Ive used the duplicolor kit(blue can) rattle cans many times. 2 of 3 usually work, the third cloggs up and runs all over your hand and can. The fancy little gun($40) you can buy with it to spray the stuff works about as well. Its at the dump, after spraying the bed front, it clogged and screwed up even with the paint being thinned(don't remember exact details, but I finished it with a roller) . that paint does not hold very well and its hard to get any thickness out of it.
The duplicolor "bed armor" was a completely different story. Very thick and clumpy. Very rough and tough appearance and appears to hold up. I painted my bumpers in it, they're still in a testing phase though. Almost used the whole gallon on them probly impossible to spray, but roller or brush the stuff is so thick it doesn't leave strokes or rolls in it. Very consistent and even surface when done.

 

I especially love the textured look. Loos real nice!

 

SEM ( from SC)makes a similar, tintable bed liner. It can be sprayed or rolled ( I rolled the bed of my 87)
