Custom Interior Pieces

So I have an ad up in the 67-72 section regarding custom interior upholstery/fab. Ive had a bunch of guys ask about recovering square body dash pads or doing custom door panels, so I figured Id post here too. If you have any questions regarding prices or work to be done let me know.

Eventually Im going to be doing only custom stuff, but for now Ill do it all. Working on a personal Ford truck right now and Ill keep updating my progress to show off the custom stuff I can do. Eventually the way Im doing this truck will be the only style of work I do.

Scroll down and check out some of the sub albums to see some of the stuff Ive done recently.

Havent done door panels or dash for an 80 yet. Was going to wrap some stock panels and do some custom stuff to them, but the guy never followed through. It looks like Ill be doing a dash pad in the next couple weeks. When I get my panels done for my truck Ill post some pictures to show more of what I can do with panels.

Re: Custom Interior Pieces

If I remember right, I was going to do a 78 set. Havent done any yet. I was going to modernize them with a map pocket and wrap in leather. Give me a few days and Ill get some pictures of my panels, Im doing a map pocket in them.

I found this picture of my panels that are almost done, map pocket polished trim, hidden lighting, hidden speakers. All this is one off made form scratch, but I can easily do this with stock panels. Kind of hard to tell with out a full picture, but hopefully you can see the quality. I will warn anyone that this wouldnt be cheap.



Full picture of panel, in progress.

Re: Custom Interior Pieces

The black material Im using is actually vinyl. Pretty nice stuff looks and feels pretty close to leather, best part is it cuts way down on the cost. If your ever interested in panels just pm me.

Re: Custom Interior Pieces

The white is actually foam that goes underneath the vinyl. The pic above is it covered in vinyl.

Had to wait a little longer for vinyl samples to match up the colors. Should finally get it done the end of the week.

Theyll be polished perforated stainless. But I could do painted instead. Also could use a few different materials for grilles as well.

I think so. lol. I didnt mean it in a bad way or anything. I get a lot of people that ask or tell me that theyre gonna send me something real soon and then never hear back for whatever reason. If you ever still want that stuff done just let me know.

Still need some interesting design for the door panels. Love the look of the French seam on the dash pad

Re: Custom Interior Pieces

So whats the price of one like this, and would you just make the cover for us to shape our own pad and install it?
