funny I just picked up the new street trucks and was reading about your truck

Its been awhile since I've posted anything on my truck, so I figured I'd post up some pics, and let you guys know what I've done since I last posted. I haven't had too much time to work on her since I've been really busy at the shop working on customers cars. Just finished up a fully TIG welded roll cage, and custom 3-point strut bar in a 72 Datsun 510.

The interior was the worst part about this truck, so I wanted to focus my attention on that. Plus, I had gotten some new door panels for the truck. I found a set of custom wrapped tweed panels on craigslist, and they have the billet insert in them, so I jumped on those.


And I figured since I have new custom door panels, better start working on the rest of the interior. So my lady and I went to our local upholstery supply, and started pulling out the dash, and all the side panels, to wrap them up in red tweed. The truck had grey cloth wrapped on everything!!! So we had to pull off all the old fabric, clean the plastic panels, and re-wrap them in the new tweed.

Here are a few pictures of the plastic side panels we wrapped in tweed:




Here are some pictures of how the dash used to look:






And since its basically a shop truck, and were going for the hot rod/rat rod look, we decided to go with something a little different for the dash: Now I know alot of you are going to think its gawd aweful, but hey, we want to be unique, and have a different look with this truck.

Godawful or not, the skull and crossbones bandana material is hilarious, I love it!!!
