Well as you all have seen I been going right on with some of the interiors of current cars I'm building due to the nature of the builds, the cars & trucks (in this case) are using the SAME colors and interior carpeting, so. Thought I'd get a bunch done on a few builds as I go.... Dad's truck, needed a LOT of interior changes, outside of what I did to mine! The whole interior of Dad;s truck was in fact different, in some cases, I could change this, in other cases (the door panels) I couldn't change.... SO, I had to go with what I had and Yes, I did set out looking for interiors of other trucks that would look closer to what Dad's truck had but there is nothing! And I was not about to try to scratch build them either! Just the details on the doors inside are slightly wrong BUT the base color is right, and the parts I painted other then the base color are right, its just the trim and all is wrong. So, with that said, I just have to live with the difference that I can not change! So, on with the interior.... I got the Window winder knobs in-place, and painted, as well as the door latch, and the door pull strap. (That strap, is NOT paint!!) I also pulled out a gear shift for the 4 wheel drive gear shift, and cut off the lever and knob to it, to make my own, but use the "boot" so that I could get the carpeting down! 4 wheel drive Gear shift is made from a piece of polished stainless wire, with a black necklace bead on it for a knob! I then glued it into position, with CA and painted the knob Semi-Gloss Black to match the other semi gloss black highlights in the cab! Carpeting looks really good! I left the fuel pedal unpainted and un covered with carpeting as I plan to use the cast-on part as a base, for one I will make and add as I do the pedals in the truck! Not to bad over all. I mean there are details I know are wrong, BUT for what it is, looks GREAT! I also got the bench seat in-place as well! Bench seat in-place looks really good! I'm pleased with how it looks! The seat looks GREAT! So the interior of this build, is almost done! I have to get working on the dash! Stay tuned more to follow! Comments welcome ENJOY!

So then, onto the dash I go.... On Dads truck, The dash had some different coloring going on, why? I don't know! I am not sure if he got it that way, or if it was a repair or what, I just know the center portion of the dash was a bit weird with it being black! BUT because it was, I went with it! Also the gauge area wasn't chrome like mine was, his was black. The top portion of the dash was the same base interior color being tan! So to reflect the colors, I did what it needed and got right to detail painting the gauges and all. A little better view of what I have done. I have yet to paint the radio in, and the steering column is being made (its different as well from my truck!) I have to add the automatic gear shift, as well as the indicator for it, and a key "bung". It already has a turn signal lever so thats good! PLUS, the stock steering wheel I got for it as well.... A bit yet to go, but looking food so far! Coming right along! Once the interior to this truck is done, I'll be able to get to doing body work to both these trucks!!!! Thats it for now, as always comments welcome, ENJOY!

LOL Yeah..... See ALL of my builds? Each one of them, is typed out in MS Notepad with image code in the body of the message..... That way, I can copy & paste each build, quickly.... LOL I guess I believe in giving those who are reading, something to ready!
NOW, postings like this very one isn't done in MS Notepad, this is just a "reply" to a response, not a part of the actual build! So I then just reply as normal.....
So, yeah, I tried to post a bit everyday, (or night in most cases) as I'ma night owl....
Next day or so, I'll have an update on the Doomz Day monster truck build! (I'm workin on the engine of that beast!)

LOL Yeah, not by a long shot! I just am a member of several forums and thought, my builds, I didn't want to have to sit and type out each one! SO I began about 2 years ago (maybe longer now I think of it) in MS Notepad, that way I can just copy & paste quickly....
Allows me MORE time at the work bench! LOL
