Canada	Since I am changing the color of my '37 as soon as possible and have always disliked yellow and brown as a color scheme I decided a while back to strip the interior and go with a grey hammered finish dash, steering column, door panels etc and to change the upholstery to grey... Today I finally got most of it back in... here are a few pics (and a couple of how it USED to look first)... The way it was... Another view Dash and Ididit Steering Column now in Hammered Grey Finish After some work on the upholstery 1 Side floor kicker panels done with lights installed After today's installation Another angle And another angle One last look I still have to get black or grey carpet installed and get the upholstered side kicker panels installed, but I think it's beginning to make a little progress... ~Trev It's a sin to crush old tin...

I'm no expert but luckily to make it look 100% better than it did, I don't HAVE to be... it was fugly! Tell you what... I'll gladly help with all the interior stuff if you help with the mechanical stuff on mine... seem like a fair trade? ~Trev It's a sin to crush old tin...

Perhaps you should try upholstery designing. Neat looking job pal. 1937 Chevy Pickup In the Gallery 1952 Chevy Panel In the Gallery More photos 1950 Chevy Coupe Pictures! I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you

The thing is I need mechanical help but this is something I knew I COULD do without having to rely on anyone so like you, I just did what I could the past couple of days... I really needed to do something... over the past year I have been taking the truck apart more and more and at times it looks more like a pile of parts than a truck... I needed to put this back together and for it to look half decent to keep me inspired and give me a little hope and while there's a long way to go and a lot I still can't do on my own, at least I know I have done what I can... With any luck I'll get a little mechanical help and it will be on the road this summer... ~Trev It's a sin to crush old tin...

I also have to deal with a new issue... damned driver side window cranks up half way, then needs a little "help" as the mechanism seems to bind somewhere... luckily the door panel is off because I painted it so I'll be leaving it off till I can spot the problem... ~Trev It's a sin to crush old tin...

Canada	The driver side window glitch turned out to be just one of the tracks the window rides up and down in out of alignment so I finished re installing the door panel and side kicker panel at the floor on both sides and then decided to check the new tube steel seat riser mounts we built to see how they fit... After that, how could I resist dropping the new seats in to see how they looked and how they fit... Now if I could just get the wiring harness done she'd look even better, but for now the interior is good enough... at least till that wiring is finished! ~Trev It's a sin to crush old tin...

Now if I can just get the rest of the truck to look as nice as the interior does one of these days I may have a keeper on my hands! ~Trev It's a sin to crush old tin...
