Hey Larry it looks great, where do you get the headliner from, looks like what I am looking for, for my Chrys.........Fred

[Frank Elder]

Give us the story on those armrests and switches:)they look good.

[knighthawk]

I think the headliner was from EZ Interiors, but I'll check door panels are 1/8 plywood and regular cloth fabric with a 1/4 foam under it....let me try tp post the pictures again.........arm rests and switches came out of the '85 donor car car along with the drive train and all the electric stuff

Hey Larry, can you post an exterior shot of your car as it it sits now.......Fred

[Captain Neon]

I'm gonna talk to an upholsterer on Saturday about getting my '46 four door in this spring. After 20 years, this is pretty exciting.

[Flatie46]

That looks great! The wood on the door pannels really looks good against that dark blue.

I've got some pictures from earlier this summer....since then I changed to a little taller tire and smoothie wheel covers.....when the weather gets better, I'll get you some newer pictures then, kinda muddy right now

Hey Larry, car looks good, nice farmyard too, always said Kansas looks like Manitoba, very similar landscape to the bottomend of southern Manitoba.......Fred

[LAKOTA169]

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I really do like your car, and the interior.

[bobjob55]

how much did you chop off the top ?? did you make-up the wood on doors or were they already there ??

great job ... i needed some ideas for when i get that far...

I chopped the top 3'', and pulled the roof forward to knida lay the rear window down. the arm rests are from the '85 5th Ave donor car, containing all the electrical switches for the windows and door locks, are plastic painted with the same wood graining method I uesed on the dash...................Fred; I got some new outdoor pics today....... will post them in a few days

[thrashingcows]

Knighthawk....You did an amazing job on the chop...Big thumbs up!!

And did you go into how you did the faux woodgrain paint technique in another thread? Very interested on how you did it...I have some idea but would like to be sure.
