    As some of you know, i picked up this little 33 a few months back. After rounding up a few parts and changing a few things i thought I would post a few pics of it, I think it turned out pretty nice. As much as I would of liked it to look like the one I built in my avatar, my pockets must of had a hole in them or something... I still have a few little things to do to it, but the interior was the last big thing, and it turned out pretty nice..All I know is they are a lot less roomy than a Merc!!:eek:

    Thats a cool little pickup.

    Interior looks just right.

    Question: What kind of backing board did you use to get the radius in the back of the cab.

    thanks guys! as much as i would like to take credit for the stitch work, i cant..im not that good yet with a sewing machine! for the guys wanting to know about the roof panel, you use this stuff which i call "panel board" not sure if thats what its called but its a real firm thin cardboard. you do some relief cuts and bend it to the desired shape and glue it back together, and then smooth the worked spots out with a small sander. in some of the upholstery how to books it shows how to make custom headliner like this one.
