Did some interior work, both door pads are done along with the kick panels. A local upholster' gave my all the material for free ( all you have to do is ask ). Along with that I installed the windshields, they are glued in and v-butt with a nice molding around the edge. Go to the link below to see the pics.
Any and all comments are welcome. Good or Bad
sincerly,

After looking at your picture album, I can't imagine that you'd hear anything bad.
That's a beautiful truck!
Nice Monte Carlo too. A buddy of mine has one just like it. From what I understand, it's the only car ever to have come from the factory with flames.
Enjoy that truck. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 323 | Cool truck, inside and out  The door panels look slick, following up the design on the door. Nice, clean, stylish work. Who is Michael? Can I borrow him? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 427 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 427 | Michael is my 15 year old son, I only see him once in a while and let him help when he comes over.
We put his woodworking skills he learned at school to good use.
Thanks sab,

Wilbur ... where did you get your windsheild? Was there much work in modifying the cab to accept it? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 427 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 427 | I made a poster board pattern and cut the windshields myself. I own a glass shop and work on customs and classics all the time.
The cab required no mods,except cutting out the center post, but the molding I used did so that the urethane would hit the glass.
It took 4hrs to make the pattern right and about 2hrs to cut and install ea. piece. | | |
