Grumpy old man is building this interior for me. I may have posted the dash and visors before. I’m adding the door panels now. Just waiting on the seat cover, it’s going to be in the same diamond pattern. I left it up to Grumpy for exact layout. This set up is going to look awesome in the black panel.

Andy4639 · 11-03-2020, 09:26 PM

Astro-Balls · 11-03-2020, 09:43 PM

Wow, those door panels look Sharp..

.
Me too...

My '68 stepper had red cloth diamond tuck on the seat, door panels and dash pad. It was deep, dark red. Beautiful. Wish I'd kept a good pic of it.

I agree. I told him I wanted bright red and some sort of diamond pattern. And left the rest up to him

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 11-06-2020, 02:28 AM

I like red too. Looks great

**1971Stepside** · 11-06-2020, 10:10 AM

I agree

That is a super nice take on a cool red modern interior.

I told Grumpy I was looking for something that could have come from a late 60s custom interior shop.

**special-K** · 11-08-2020, 06:54 AM

Looks great. And a Panel done in that era would need some custom stitch work. I had bright red planned for my '67 project. Had everything but the seat and door panels covered. Those were to be roll & pleat when the time came. I came across a crazy good deal on a black seat done just the way I was going to do mine. So red will have to be in another truck

CG · 11-21-2020, 01:00 PM

Grumpy posted these pics today. My son has ownership of the panel now, but Ill be helping him with the project. I sent him the pics of the seat covers ... hes very pumped lol.

**special-K** · 11-21-2020, 01:09 PM

Those look awesome. Who'lotta stitchin' there. That thing will need more of that in the back at some point.

CG · 11-21-2020, 03:21 PM

Hes undecided on what he wants to do back there right now. I set aside a burb 3rd seat if he decides he wants someone back there. If so he will probably source someone local and see if they can replicate Grumpys awesome work. I think Grumps over the red diamonds lol.

**special-K** · 11-22-2020, 08:42 AM

I bet all he saw were diamonds for a while. Ole Diamond Eye Grump
