Interior Customization
Hey guys!
Looks like i'm in my final stages of choosing exactly what I have to do for my High School Graduation Project.
Instead of doing "Exterior Body Fabrication" due to the fact it takes too long and requires a good chunk of change, I am going to go and do "Interior Fabrication & Customization."
My Plan:
Replace:Bench Seat ~> Harness Off-Road Seats/Bucket Seats
Vinyl ~> Charcoal Grey Carpet
OEM Steering Wheel ~> Grant Challenger Steering Wheel
Original Stereo Speakers ~> New Stereo Speakers
OEM Pedals ~> Silver/Chrome Bullet Hole Pedals
Add:
Tachometer
Ford Rubber Floor Mats
Sound Dampening Material
Repair:
Door Panels
Dash Panel
Here's how it looks now:
So, what do you guys think?
Possible?
I need an approximate cost as well to add to the paper...
Any guesses?
I'm HOPING no more than $500-$600

If you like the look, I also suggest painting your gauges. A bunch of us got inspired by this thread and did ours white which i think looks bad-a$$ but you could always play around with other colors if you wanted to get crazy.

From what you want to get done, my mindguestimation is thinking around 650-700. An im willing to bet, once you get the inside of this done. Your going to want to do the outside!! haha.
Good luck!

Those guages look great, if i ever get the mechanical part done, i will start on the interior. I have the same door panels as in the pictures. Good luck with your project and make sure you post pictures.

I got sick of my white gauges and went back to factory gauges.
It only took me $45 to redo my interior,but I got lucky and knew a few people,and everything I did was factory,so I didn't have all the extra costs of things like the seat.
Best of luck on the project man,can't wait to see it done.
