This is what it looks like after the pour foam cures and you pull it out of mold, Then just start carving to shape and glass up, sand, skim coat, cover and done

I'm going to start another thread with some tips and answers to help out some of the home builders. I will go thru and look at some of the basic stuff to do help get your car ready for upholstery. (remember that it takes me awhile to post pics)

Tracy --

Do you ever do the wire mesh and then cover with polyester fabric and then resin that? I've seen this done for speaker enclosures etc and it seems pretty efficient.


The console in my Nomad is a combo of MDF - a little steel and some glass and some bondo...

And all done! The face plate of the stereo comes off - and when that is removed - it allows the fiberglass cover to come off and gives me a hidden compartment for "stuff". Once this was finished -- I removed the stereo in the dash and replaced the '55 chevy trim with one that has no cutouts... This was shot still in the mock up stage.

id love to see the process you guys use. i bought a couple books, but they seem outdated and didnt really have what i was looking for.

THANKS!!!!

A tutorial on how you properly install Marquez panels would be great.

Just send them to Tracy....:D

Any help you need, just give me a call - 916-373-9783

Chris is right, They know there parts very well. There dash is very user friendly to install,The two piece system makes it easy to service behind it later on. Nice glass work also,..... Greg that console looks good:thumbsup:

Tracy,
What is the deal with the "pour foam"?
I have been looking for something like this to carve a rear spoiler out of.
Where can I get some?

Anybody that sells fiberglass supplies should have it but just in case - here's a link. It seriously is just called pour foam.

Doug

Oh? Doug -- Did you pick up on the shape and the cleavage?

That's sweeeeeet!

Will be even sweeter when you finish with it (can you see my brown nose growing?) :rofl:

You know a car is bad ass when there are ear muffs in the passenger side ! :unibrow:

Can you talk them into a different set of gauges.

Awesome car. What kind of sound insulation is that. Im in the market for some. Needs to keep the sound and heat out.

I would use Dynamat or Hushmat,Fatmat. The stuff they put in this car is good, But not very sticky. I have no Idea whose product it is. We are going to heat it up and restick some spots.

YEA IT WILL BE ALRIGHT!


hehehehe lol

and the brown nose............ TMI

Hey Tracy,

Where do you get your switches and push buttons etc from? I want to install new switches in my mustang but go with something different to the standard boring toggle switches out there. Something like the Ford GT toggles would be awesome. There's not many good ones that I can find.

Cheers,
Joe.

it seems most guys source them from watson street works. ive read pretty good reviews so far. kind of expensive, but they are full billet. the electric lifes had a plastic bezel around the aluminum switch.

We use Electric Life switches in our custom backing plates shown on our online catalog. If our backing plate doesn't suit your build style,we can design one that does. Our web address is www.jbmicrofinish.com

I'm going to use GT40 ones in this build, They always look good and they work.

Put the cell phone down including Rodgers and just get some work done.
:cheers:

That was funny, I picked up Rog's phone and answered it, Wished you were there I could have used a late night CROWN helper:cheers:

Tracy--Of the many Electric Life switch and bezel combos we have sold, none have been returned. There are many good switches on the market and we make custom bezels for any type or brand. Is this the car you talked to Becky about? Jeff

No late night "crown"? That means nobody got kicked out of the pool:lol:

I think we would be safe there, I think it would be hard to get kicked out:lol: :lol:

The factory Ford sit right on the panel themselves, If we decide to mount them on a plate or a bigger bezel as a group your my first call, Thanks Jeff. ( I'm going to figure something out for some handles this week I will call you.)

OK this could make me knock over a bank!

Tracy, what do you use for your base panel material for door panels? ABS plastic or MDF or? and for those beautiful curved panels in the trunk?

The Recovery Rooms work is 2cd to none. I have a neighbor that has had several interiors done by them. Each interior is different, and each is amazing.
