Making progress on the interior!

Here is a quick video on the interior in my 1955 Ford F100. The door panel is just resting in this video. Next up will be the Seatbelts, Vintage Air A/C / Heater kit, Windshield, Back Window and a custom center console. The steering wheel, not shown here is Mahogany with Polished spokes.

Let me know what you think so far!

I think it is beautiful! Love the contrast of the white seats and trim with the red dash. I like the location of the rear speaker. Something I can't do with my caddy bench seat which takes up just about all the space available in the cabin.

Strange, when I watched your video last night it was fine, this morning it is "washed out". I have the RodDoors panels in my 53 but have never covered them. That is coming soon.

I do not, sorry. I got mine from Mid Fifty. They do come with Rod Doors instructions so I am positive that they are from them.

Hopefully this helps.

Hey Okie, I would like to see your interior if you can share a link. I am doing all of this completely blind. You also might want to refresh your cookie in your browser because I changed the link to be a URL to YouTube instead of Embedding it.

The only problem I am facing after covered them in the leather is that the door handles need the longer door regulator shaft and I am pretty sure I ordered the wrong length. They also never sent me the spring clips to hold on the handles. I have to order some more stuff from them and they have been good to me so I bet they will work with me on the issues.

I would refresh my cookie if I had one. About 10 seconds in the microwave makes a stale chocolate chip taste pretty good. I will take some pictures of my interior, but I doubt it will be of any benefit. I do have, somewhere in my files, an email that the owner of RodDoors sent me for instructions back when I bought mine. I will look for that.
