Okay, forgive me if there is already a thread on this but a recent post by "Durty Forty" prompted me to start this thread. I know a lot of our cars don't have much of an interior but a lot of folks have come up with some pretty cool stuff, so post up pics of your dashes and interiors and show us what you think is cool :cool:

I know it's probably over done but I plan to do something similar to this in my Willys......

So post up those pics.........I just might change my mind when I see what you've done :D
 
Here's the interior of a 50 Ford I built serveral years ago. I found the orange fur funiture cover at goodwill, 3 bucks. Always thought the fur interior in Bo Hopkins 51 Mercury in American Graffiti was so Kool!!!..:D

Ya Timbo kinda thinkn about that ammo box in sort of that same location maybe to house my fuse box. You could mount the fuse box on the door. Just route the wires with some slack so the door would have a enough room to swing open and get to your fuses real easy. Not sure if I would have to run a ground wire from the fuse box to the main part of the ammo box. I do like your idea,cool !!!! Hey that dash is way cool,hell of a lot of work !!!!

OH MY GOD! I had to giggle at the fold-up chair... Some of this stuff is preaty creative. Im scared to tear into my 56, the seats are gonna get covered and I will probably redo the door panels somehow. Any suggestions would help. The dash is pristine. I was thinking about getting some fake cheeta fur to cover the dashpad.
