Gauge Relocation Project.
Paper Template-CHECK

 

Check the angle.
Cheap plexiglass and the heat gun santa got me.

 

Flat, not for long...

 

3 layers of fiberglass. All I need to do is cut the holes...

 

Seat Ideas. Trying out my new piping foot for the Juki sewing machine...

 

Roy might be able to help. I guess you have been asking him already!

 

Cartoon 29.
Too many ideas...

 

Ok time to ,make the pattern for the seat cover. I'm going for a 60's sparkle vinyl with snaps and and Diamond inserts pleats. I'm not a upholstery expert by any means, just learning as I go. so any input is always appreciated...


First I used a small amount of spray glue on my pattern to keep it from moving all over.
Working off the center line.

 

I want a uniform size around the outside and going to add a few snaps.

 

working on the diamond pattern layout. ohh that makes my head hurt!!
Now if only santa would bring me a couple hundred dollars worth of 2" inch foam and a few yards of vinyl.

 

Thats gonna look bitchin!

 

Not much going on... Made template for door panels.

 

I'm making my template for my door panels... Do I have to notch the top two corners because it doesn't seem to sit flat.
Second. How far up should I go with the panel under the dash. Any advice or pics would be great.

 

Dude!! Looks like I may have to walk across the street and see how my future employee is doing...lol Your garnish moldings will extend to the edge and push your panel tight. That is an area where the plastic works great because you can heat it and it will hold the bend. I know it is a lot more cost factor with plastic but with you super tight roof you know its going to get wet. With the plastic you don't have to worry about warpage.

As for the kick panel you are good at the dash. The 1/2" wide strip right next to the dash panel is where the metal trim piece attaches that holds the windlace. If you are not going to install windlace you may need to cover that spot.
