need to steam some more of the roof lining to make it sit better but at least its a couple of things out from under my feet

...doc

TEKILA · 21-04-2011, 08:55 PM

hey doc, roof lining looks great. im getting my interior done as of next wednesday and had aquestion about roof lining.

front and rear windows in my F100 just went back in. how do you hold the lining to the roof? do the edges get tucked in under the rubbers??

**Mechan1k** · 21-04-2011, 09:22 PM

That's a really nice interior there ... cant wait to see the final product ... especially the paint out in the sun.

Bucknaked · 21-04-2011, 09:33 PM

I really like the way the white on the side incorporates the seats and continues through, as well as the black section on the seats. Nice detail.

not sure on f trucks although i reckon you will have to remove the rear screen as in most of cars from that era as for the sides you just pull them tight to the right shape and let the pinch molds hang on to them for a while to see that they are were you want them and then once yur happy you contact cement them to the frame and put the pinch moulds back on (and if yur an evil little fruit cake you can have a bit of a wiff to see what all the kiddies get off on )it is sticky stinky and not fun on the fingers ...doc

Jallopy · 25-04-2011, 12:00 PM

The interior is looking good.
So much better than boring original upholstery.

Keep the pics coming of this buildup as it is NOT boring.

darkside · 08-05-2011, 10:28 PM

as for the 9" diff we have modified it to take el brakes and complete handbrake ,did a bit of smoothing out and it al looks very nice ,can't wait to fit it up and get some more bits on the car.....doc

Tha Jack · 09-05-2011, 10:47 AM

Hey Doc,
What modifications are involved in fitting EL Disc brakes?
I wouldn't mind upgrading my rear brakes as well.

Coupes and More · 09-05-2011, 07:24 PM

i will try to get some pics up as i am putting it back together,had to redrill a few holes and add a spacer for the handbrake assembly to fit in the right place,weld the tags on the diff for the tags to hold handbrake cables ,but the end result is a working handbrake and no probs with rear callipers sticking on ,have also relocated handbrake in car ,it now sits next to the consol and it looks great ...will get my act together soon bit out of action atm with a tear in the shoulder ,so if i can do anything with the left hand only i am ok

that sounds very inapropriate
