HUGE!!! Thank You,to SoCal Merc! Got an interior today!!!

What a standup guy! He sold me an interior a while back and the deal didn't go through. So I told him to keep me in mind if the situation changed. Well he recently bought another '51 Merc and told me he wasn't gonna use the interior that came with it. Of course I jumped at the chance,since i've been riding on springs for about two years,HA HA! I called him today and asked him if I could get it today,instead of Sunday. He said sure,so my son and I went to get it. The Merc he just got was a steal and looked great! The pic's looked like the interior was black with red pleats,but when we got there,it turned out to be black with brick colored pleats! I didn't care cause I was finally getting an interior!!!

Here's what I got...
front seat
back seat
door panels
quarter panels,with arm rests
kick panels
pleated package tray panel
all the carpet
trunk carpet
Here's the kicker...$500!!!!!! that's insane!!!

 

Cool Bob.....great colors.

 

Even the colors go with your car. Way cool.

 

fitting the front seat....

 

I wasn't gonna leave the brick color,so I went and bought some black vinyl spray and gave it a try...

Started with the back...

 

Good for you Bob! your @$$ will thank you once that interior is installed!

 

Good for you. Glad Brian finally came through. No pics of Brian's new ride????

 

Then sprayed the door panels...I know they look funny,but it was cold outside and they started to frost up...

 

Good you still have the belt buckle...ha ha!!!!

 

Here's what it looks like now...just needs some red carpet and it's DONE!

 

I see another pin-up thread in the future......whoo whoo!!!!

 

HA HA! That was the first thing I thought about when I was done! I'm gonna change it out next week. Looks really cheesy now,LOL....

 

NOW...some inside photos,LOL!!!!!

 

Send it to me I will put it in the famous display cabinet.

 

BOB! That looks great buddy!!!!

 

Look on the HAMB Merc Club thread. He posted some pic's the day he brought it home...

I can't wait to take it for a test drive! Maybe I can finally have hearing when I show up somewhere,LOL....It was pretty loud inside! Just ask Scooter,HA A HA!!!

 

It is amazing just how much a fresh interior (new or used) can do for a car...not to mention your own personal state of mind.
Freshening/Replacing an interior always gives me that same feeling I get when I first get the actual car.
Love it. Looks damn good Bob.

Here's a couple pix of the '67 Tbird interior I scored for my Dodge...

 

you should have left it so we could be twins...
then i'll just have to have steve do my flames....

 

You mean "the Hitch hiker"? You think it will make it cooler in the summer now?? Either way, I guess this means no more cat killer...

 

I still need to make a patch panel,to keep the bunnies out at night! They're gonna be pissed,LOL....

 

Let me know if you need some help with that panel Bob. You know I'd be glad to help ya' out.

 

Thanks. It won't take much finessing but if I get frustrated i'll call you,!!!!

 

Looks good Bob! I sprayed the interior in one my cars years ago and had that frosting problem. I was able to spray another coat on a more favorable day and it covered it up and looked fine.

Is your old front seat complete with all the trim? I'm looking for one to replace the late model Olds seats in mine. All I need is the frames, trim and tracks. I can do new cushions, replace broken springs and upholstery, I just need a merc seat to start with.

 

Sorry! It's already spoken for.
I tried to finish before it got cold,but there was too much to do. I'm thinking about re-spraying the pleated part red anyways...Too much black in there!

 

Pretty rad.

 

Oh well, the fun is in the hunt, right?

I think red would look good. I wasn't hating the brick in it's own right, but appreciate it didn't match your flames. The all black looks decent enough, but I like most interiors to have some contrast going on for interest. My .02

 

That brick color was wayy cooler than red, I would have left it. But thats just me Good score Bob.

 

If my car was still,all black,then it would have looked great!
