Title: Headliner & interior work
Post by: struggla on August 03, 2007, 07:46:12 pm

Check it out. I re-did my headliner with Faux Suede material. It turned out pretty cool. It was only 38 bucks for the material.

You may find it hard to locate the new window trim molding pieces. They can be repainted to match the black.   carries the paint and prep spray cans. That's a nice job, Struggla. Keep up the good work!

Thats definitely on the to do list. It had some on it but they were beat up pretty good so i just removed them. I thought the truck would look better with them off than with them on and beat up. I do plan on putting some more back on though.

Cool. I am not a big fan of trim / chrome but if its got the side molding its got to have the wheel well trim. Looks like a solid truck.

Yes i painted the dash. I used the SEM black semi gloss. This paint works very well. I got it at my local body shop supplier. I did the door panels with it as well.
