Those door panels should help quite a bit with interior noise, and make the doors sound a bit more "solid" closing. Did you put any sound damping inside the door skins?

i sprayed inside of doors with the same spray bedliner material i used for the floor . This should get rid of most of the hollow tin can noise in interior . I going to insulate roof too before i install headliner .

There was a guy here a while back who ditched the springs in favor of pans and denser foam, the end result was quite nice and is a trick I'm going to have to try on my truck.

I was shocked at how good the frame looked , when i did my 66 Mustang seats they were all rusty and crusty . then again the Mustang is a convertible so maybe that had some thing to do with it ?

got to spend some time on the interior today , I covered the headliner and installed it . I was going to have the headliner trim chrome plated but the local chromer wanted $250.00 to do the 6 pieces . I said no way
I also started work on the seat upholstery but didn't get to finish

anyone buying the acme seat upholstery , I recommend taking the metal listing wires out of old seat and replacing the poly tubing in the Acme upholstery .
when you try to pull the material tight with hog rings the poly tubing breaks

We all have it...

We've all looked at it and wondered...

That one OEM detail that seems very out of place.....

....One screw dead nuts in the middle of the headliner! WTF Ford? It's like a bumper sticker on a Ferrari.

Surely someone out there can fab or adapt a trim piece as a center bar to make that screw go away!!
