Interior work
Ok guys. I'm not very experienced when it comes to interiors. I've noticed kits (in the LMC catalog and other places) and was wondering what kind of quality they are and how much ulser medication should I get before starting. 
You guys have steered me straight before so I'm asking now. If a kit comes with fairly good instructions, I usually get along ok. I need to address these areas while I getting the cab ready. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
LMC has good parts,but when you get a kit it doesn't have instructions. I've gotten every part for my 72 Sport Custom. The only thing that i found was the glass for the vent windows was thicker than the original. The window seal kits and all the parts to both doors was all new to me. I took and stripped the inside and doors then ordered everything.I figured it ouy but had a ruff time with the doors.

Bike,
I recently installed a headliner and carpet kit from SAC Vintage Ford in my 48 and I had no previous experience with interiors either. The instructions on the headliner were adequate although it mentioned requiring two people on the installation and I did it alone okay. I haven't figured out how I'm going to connect my dome light yet but I can do without it if I can't figure it out. The carpet was harder to install than the headliner especially trimming it to fit up the firewall. I did the headliner in one afternoon and the carpet in another. Taking a dose of Valium or drinking a frosty beverage or two beforehand is heartily recommended. You may not do as good a job but you won't care.

That happended to me once. Too many frosty's and I put dual rear wheels on one side and only the outside on the other. It looked good at the time though. I will be at the interior point once my engine is completed. i will look as sac as well.
