Judging from the second last pic, you've installed sex lights under the dash ....like we used to do here in Ontario BACK IN THE 60s!!!

Are going to stay with the clear or will you go all out and put in the purple ones?



seriously, though. Lookin good.

How about this. Not only purple, but wired to the AMP so they keep perfect time with the bass. I've seen er done.

Hope not. I'll be taking care of my own upholstery anyhow. You wouldn't believe what skills were required to sell F-16's in the '80's. h

very nice fenders, i put purple ones in the 69 a couple weeks ago...didnt think to hook them up to anything else though...just put them in with the dash lights so i can dim them anytime i want....haha
i went purple to try to match the HU...but when i had them in, the lights made the HU look like a pathetic excuse for purple....oh well...its done now.. i need a couple more in there to really get the glowing look

on a serious note, i really do hope that my interior turns out like yours..or the way i planned it...but with my hands in on the interior job, hopefully my mind will work along with my fingers....i like the nice little cozy look

Neat stuff Dewayne,

I'm like some of the other guys, I like to go ahead and order aset in dove grey, complete with kicks and headliner. Using Lowes and Home Brew/Depot stuff,I ought to be able to do my interior for less than an Earl Shieb paintjob, right? Seriously, if one has good imagination and a willingness to try new ideas, you've just proved you can get top quality results on the cheap.

Guess I'll be saving up for some velcro


70 here last week 14 tonight....too cold to work on the truck

Shivering Bubba

Yes, I have quite a few. This one says it all. A stock seat that no longer fits the vehicle it was designed for. Look down about six inches. See how it is squirming along the piping? Seat bottom is doing this even worse. It's just too large in every direction. The only part of my interior I hired out. I've seen plenty of this man's work and none of it looked like this. No use whining anymore, just have to go from here.

Very clean job fenders. I like the fact that local stores were used for materials. You saved some heavy $$ for sure and got a nice look. What brand is the CD and amp?

Current system is Alpine Deck, Avionixx AMP- CDT full range Speakers-SAT 560 x-overs-Elemental Designs Subs (little 8inchers ones) coming soon.

I would really like to compete in local sound QUALITY (SQ) competitions. Most of the comps around here are dB Drags though. I have no interest in being loud. I was told I can't be competitive in SQ with a steel dashed truck. We'll see.

Fenders your interior looks perfect. Looks as good or beter as the over priced pros.
When you say tempered hard board, would that be the same as masonite ?

I have to say that for a "good ole boy" you sure know how to do some COOTIE BOBBIN!

I usually dont read all the posts but this one caught my attention and made my day!

I love it when someone else uses the cootie bob phrase.

Nice job on the interrior
