Features white interiors and upholstered running boards

titus your wife does great work!....I wish I was a few hundred miles closer and I would hit her up for some white tuck n roll!

 

Here is the interior in my 36. Installed June of 1960

wow that's amazing how well its held up after 53 years!....and even cooler is you still have the car too,....kudos mate

 

^
I don't "still" have it.. I have it now, but I wasn't even close to being born when it was installed-shit not for another 22 years! Ha. I am planning to keep it just as it is though, maybe clean it up a little here and there. When the time comes that it needs the interior redone, I'll be doing it exactly as it was installed in 60

 

ahhh,..I fell for the oldest mistake in the book "assume!"....it does look killer though and cool to see how it was done back in the day....

 

Thanks!

Love your coupe by the way!!

 

Thanks man... It's a cool old wagon I'm having plenty of fun with... Lot of work to do on it though.... I've been repairing some interesting "fabrication" on it ,but that's part of the enjoyment for me,

 

My wifes 64 Galaxie (see my avatar) has a totally white interior:
Steering wheel
Most of the dash
seats
headliner
all panels
console
seat belts
....and yes, even the carpet is PURE WHITE


That being said, it's been quite the struggle keeping it all white.
She bought some clear floor mats for the front, and you have to constantly move them to cover the area where your foot sits when on the throttle.
Everyone thought white carpet was a crazy idea, but it looks GREAT. She gets tons of complements.
You will need to keep a can of Brake-Kleen on hand and a pure white dish rag or wash rag. Pure white. Spray some on the cloth and you can easily clean the carpet pretty well when you get marks on it (which is ALL the time).

I'll post some pics when I take some this week.

 

Wow man white carpet too!.... That's got to look killer...

 

The interior of my '62 Merc. Also done by Stichbitch.

 

I was a nosey bastard and checked out pinstriper40's pics and saw your door panels too..... That's going to be a bad ass wagon mate.....

 

Here's mine in a 31 roadster

I put upholstered running board covers on my pickup so the people that have to stand on my running boards to look at the interior can't blame me for getting the soles of their shoes dirty.

 

I love them....Check out my '32





And the first car I built, a '30 Model A Coupe

 

Another example - A Model 'A' rather than a '39/'40, but an awesome example never-the-less!

Annnnd... If I HAD running boards they would be white too!

Dreddybear, or anyone else who knows, is the guy who owns this car a HAMBer?

I've been looking at the Rod & Kulture feature for a while now, and REALLY like it, it just keeps growing on me more and more.

 

To the OP, I really dig your coupe as well, saw it on another thread, and saved all the pics. Like the headlight treatment. Theres just a ton of really good stuff on this thread.

 

Gonna give this a bump for the scalloped black '40 in post #8 & #78. Cmon, I cant believe no-one knows anything more than the Rod & Kulture article on this car???

 

That car belongs to Squeak Bell. Used to own Kiwi Connection in Bakersfield..

 

its a very cool car from a fellow kiwi no less!....I've never met squeak but I heard he is a pretty cool dude and people really like is fabrication skills on his chassis and what not,

 

Here's our Fat Lucky's white interior, but no running boards.

Thanks guys, Its a great looking forty, slight radius on the rear wheelwells, nerfs and perfect tire sizes, Sorry I didnt respond sooner, had surgery on Monday, still popping pain killers like tic-tacs, so I'm a little foggy...

 

Thanks mate I'm having a blast with it,I wasn't a fan of the frenched headlights at the start but since I've been "transforming" it to a early 60's look I dig them too,....I need to get the pinstriping done soon because it feels unfinished to me without it....done in white!

 

Very cool ..... That's a Ton of material right there!

 

Here is my pearl white interior in my '57 Ford wagon just finished up by Jeffrey Phipps.

The seat backs. I smoothed them off and sprayed them pearl white to match the rest of the car

I noticed as I read through this a couple people saying how hard it is to keep white interiors clean. I picked the smoothest material I could find without any texture to it. My seats have been done for 16 years now and they are still bright white. I drive the car a lot but I keep up on it. I use super clean diluted down and my interior looks fresh. All I do is spray it on and wipe it off. Very easy. I still win best interior awards with it after all these years. I couldn't imagine a Kustom without white seats it just looks the best in my opinion.
