Progress on Interior

Finally got the Interior done in my 55. I hope I don't regret doing it before paint. There are pics in my gallery. I can't post pics on here I don't guess.
Now it all has to come out because of an electrical issue on my power cowl vent.

Here is a one of your pictures. Interior looks great, I’m green with envy.

Could you give some more details on a couple of things?

I take it that you have not painted the outside yet?

Would you do a power vent again considering the situation?

Is this custom upholstery or an upholstered kit (rod doors etc) or upholstered replacement backing on the on the headliner etc?

Thanks.

Thanks guys.
To answer some of your questions, the power cowl vent is a must with a console. Or shave it all together.
The side pieces and headliner are Roddoors. I made the console ( don't laugh). Seats are out of a Bronco II.
Gaylan Rosson of Clarksville Auto Upholstery in Clarksville Tn. did the work.

Your interior looks great, can't wait until I have the same feelings you are having right now. It's got to be great feeling of accomplishment.

Thanks NormH
5 1/4 Round speakers in the kick panels and 6X9's under the seat. No big subs or anything like that.
