Back seat is now done. I love these pictures, but have to say this all looks sooooo much better in person. IN the car, in the shop it just doesn't photograph that well.

Only thing left now is the kick panels and center console. Then onto the trunk.......

In an effort to make the back seat look as if it belonged in the car to begin with, the side panels were recontoured to match the side of the rear seat. The side panel normally go straight up top to bottom. That matched the factory rear bench. But because my new seat has a tapered contour, my upholstery guy built up the side panels to match the seat. Making it look as though it came that way from factory. The first picture illustrates where he added to the side panels.

This second picture shows it now upholstered and how it flows as though originally made this way from Ford.

And here is the back seat 100% completed. By using a second set of front bucket seat foams he was able to make the rear bench look exactly as the fronts with all the bolsters and contours. Even the knee bolster is in place just like the front seats!

I truly hope this car makes it to Sema next year as it belongs there.

Great work and I hope to see it in person one day.

Wow!! That is a huge compliment. Suggesting it enough to be at SEMA is humbling. I didn't built this to be a Ridler winner or anything like that. But we all know that there are certain things, that if we achieve are monumental to us car guys. SEMA would be one of them for me. No question. I would have zero idea how to get connected with anyone to get that done, other than PPG of course. But they usually have "pro" builders cars in their booth, not employees.


Thanks again, you made my day!

Look through the parts list on your build and figure out all of the vendors and then "WE" go to work to get you a vendor that will sponsor you and get you and your car to Sema.

That would be incredible. I'll have to sit down and make a list of possible vendors.

Thank you very much. The interior should be done by Saturday. Can't wait to get it outside and look at the finished product in good lighting!!
