Low buck, less than professional interior (pics)

Well, it is nearly done, the sedan now has a bench seat and some insulation, wrapped in "tijuana tweed" and vinyl. It gives it the "Mexican S&M" (tm) look.

The first shot is that of the Dodge mini-van center seat, thanks to Donzie for the suggestion, it fits perfect.

 

this shot is of the flooring material, Home Depot vinyl runner. Old trunk mat material covering the trans hump.

 

I made this back shelf area to cover the fuel tank and some tail-light wiring, also houses my CD player is in there.

 

This is what is under the super secret door, CD player and a compartment for misc.

 

last post for now, an over-all shot, keep in mind that I have less than $200.00 in to it. May the ridicule begin!

 

Looks good Joe. Real "professional".
I had large safety pins holding mine together!

 

that is BAD ***!! I LOVE the super secret(tm) mexican blanket flap hiding the stereo..

cl***ic!

 

Tijuana Tweed? hah im going to make mine out of Tijuana Weed!

 

Looks great! the CD player location is great! Now go drive the hell out of it.

 

That's pretty hi-tech for Michigan!

Nice work, Buddy!!

 

Very nice. A hell of a lot nicer than my 37! You aren't goin Boyd on us now are ya JW??

 

You did good.
I'll give you a p***ing grade.
Form follows function.

 

That's actually a nice neat, clean, orderly looking interior setup. Bonus points for putting it all together for 200 bucks!

 

Looks like a fine job my friend. The trap door for the cd player is a neat idea. (Makes it tough to change the cd while driving though) Just bought a welder yesterday so I can get going on the Stude. I now know who to call for upholstery when I'm ready.

The flap over the CD player will eventually be replaced by some sort of glove box type door, not sure what I want for now, so the blanket s****s were just there, and the rest is history. Thanks for all the good words, now its time to concentrate on getting my tri power ready to install.

For anyone interested, the seat came out of a '96 Dodge mini van, center seat. The only modifications that were needed to make it work were:
-remove the original seat tracks
-cut off a small metal tab on the bottom of the seat
that was there to help locate thae seat tracks, (this
is needed to mount the seat flat on the floor)
-remove the headrests

When installed, the seat sits about 1-2 inches away from the doors, on each side.

I almost forgot Donzie, the seat is covered by one blanket, there is NOTHING attaching the blanket to the seat. I stuffed the blanket under the front before bolting it down, and it just hangs down the back, its held in place when the seat rests against the step-up in the floor.
