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!

Looks good to me, are those RodDoors panels? Seats fit good.

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.
