sanitary interior??

I just about finished up the interior on this roadster....I've been moving along at a steady pace the past month or so and it appears that its all coming together nicely
i"ve had a list of things that needed to be done and tonight the interior got a big check mark beside it!
I'm not 100% finishing things on this car...just getting the grunt work done so someone else can do the finishing details
nothing needed much shaping on the interior but it just seemed like an endless amount of work each evening after sitting at my boring day job for 8 hours
anyways heres some shots of it all that i figured some one may enjoy seeing
i know chuck is getting anxious to get this jalopy up to michigan and give it some GOW

as always....WOW!

 

that's awesome.
lovin those seats!!!

 

Purposeful!!!!!

Zach, you are a true craftsman if my car turns out 1/2 as nice I will be stoked.
Cheers
Jimmy

 

Super nice!

 

Wow,, um wow

 

To clean. Throw some dirt on it. I love it.

 

awesome work **bows**

 

outasight!!

 

Those seats are works of art, nice job!!

 

simply amazing craftsmanship......sooo clean

 

Very nice Zach, that dash is killer.

 

Zach, the workmanship is impecable, you do yourself proud.--TV

 

Zach - I keep telling you....... That car is *****in!

 

thanks everyone,
It's going to be a bit rough to see this car leave soon (mid january)
but hopefully the sale will afford me to start on something else
i think chuck is going to put some fancy wood in for floor boards and have some nice upholstery made for the seats
i'm anxious to see how he finishes everything up
Zach

 

I'll second or third that. WOW just wow. You do nice work.

 

Nice Work!

 

as always Zach...kick ***

 

Holy ****!!!

 

Outstanding work!
I wish I had this much talent with sheetmetal work
Looks awesome.

 

so clean, real nice work there SUHRsc

 

very nice! Can you give a little info on the rivets, what type they are and how you install them?

 

thanks everyone!

the rivets are just solid 1100 SO 1/8" rivets with universal heads
i made a female die to hold against the head and then just hit the back with a hammer...the worst part is drilling all the holes and deburring them
Zach

 

Seein' that car just gives me the shivers, man!

It looks sooo nice!

Was at the Indy Speedway Museum lookin' at finishing details for the car, and tellyouwhut - Zach has NAILED 'the look'. The car truly is a late 40's racecar - as built by a returning WWII vet with experience repairing airframes in the South Pacific.

When it's done, the finished product should look at home alongside a 1948-49 racecar - at least that's the idea.

thank you, Zach - you da man!

 

you're missing a flat head screw on the lower right side of the dash ... hahahaha... otherwise, the interior is simple and clean.. good job man, as always

 

What kinda rivots you using?

 

they're from jaycee rivet company
i may have that spelled wrong?
post #23 has the specifics
Zach

 

How do you do the rivit part ? Im not in touch with the technique! Are they pop types or conventional buck 'em up types? thanks

 

I agree with all those guys!!

 

i cut a female releif into the end of a stainless bolt
hold that against the head and then smash the back with a hammer
its a crude way of doing it...but it works for now untill i can build a jig to do them faster
