Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build

Thanks! I also finished off the door panels yesterday as well. The ones on there were done up with aqua and gray tweed, which I wasn't really into. A bit too 80's for me.

The arm rests were shot and the handles were done too so all of that came off and right into the trash.

I took the panels off and cleaned up the area behind them. Also its a good time to lube up the window mechs!

I got the new panels on with new arm rest and handles. Looks so much better. I think the top support rail is going to get chromed. Its silver now but its not cutting it for me. I really like the look of the new panels though!

And just on a whim I stripped the tweed off the panels I took off the doors and wouldn't you know it, the original painted panels were under the tweed. Someone took a lot of time to pinstripe them too. Shame they got covered up. I kind of like them.

Next is the seat cover and I will take care of that today. I have the carpet here too but Im holding off since the impending drop member install means I have to covert from small hump to big hump floor section so carpet is on back burner until thats done. Still plenty more to come. Stay tuned!
