Looks good man, I've been thinking about doing an 06 front one day but i don't really know

 

[D1nman]

Do it!

 

[Dakota]

Prolly will eventually, they look so good colormatched

 

[Ginger]

for being the punk ass kid that wrecked his truck before he had a license, you did do a good job on making this truck nice. I like your valance colormatching, it is different, and looks great.

Yeah i learned a huge lesson from that. I want to shoot myself for doing that, I'd sure rather have that truck, but oh well my dumbass fault for doing it. Thanks on the valance, that reminds me i've got to touch it up from where that tow strap broke :shake:

You're welcome for link to that grille sir.

[D1nman]

Yeah I have a double din, just have it out because Bose amp shitted out. Craig I'm hoping this truck lasts me longer

Craig I'm hoping this truck lasts me longer

:yuno: make up your mind!

 

[D1nman]

Just saying I don't want this one to shit out!

 

[D1nman]

Thinking about sueding headliner and door inserts, tips?

 

[BOO5TED]

Things you will need:

• Suede (or material of your choice)
• Scissors
• Xacto knife or a straight razor (either is fine, but I prefered the razor.) MAKE SHURE TO HAVE SPARE BLADES
• Glue
• Ratchet with extender and 7mm socket
• Sharpie
• Plastic knife (or something dull to tuck fabric)
• Painters tape
• Something to mark your patterns on (I used wraping paper)
• Something to keep the area clean (I used cardboard)

Some of the supplies.

The suede.

Patterns I traced.

Cut the patterns out, MAKE SURE TO LEAVE EXTRA MATERIAL!

Take everything off of the panel.

Even the this.

Lay something down to keep everything clean.

Tape up the panel.

Spray the glue.

Wait for the glue to tack up, then lay the fabric down and start smoothing it with your hands.

Now start tucking the material.

Remove the tape to finish tucking.

Make relief cuts and roll the material.

After everything is tucked, start cutting the extra material.

This is what the panel should look like.

I know it's old but just ran across this a few days ago. Might try it soon to match the headliner I have.

 

[D1nman]

:shake: I'll check it when I get to a computer

 

[Dakota]

Sweet, plan on doing this eventually
