Hillbilly Surf Shop's 51 Chev

[hillbillysurf]

Nice interior choice!
As you can see, we were on kinda the same page with material!!

I used old tater sacks that I found in an old warehouse in town. Used on the headliner, doors and kick panels.

Tater

I got two potato sacks from my local CO-OP that I want to make some floor mats out of. Did you do anything to the edges of the burlap to keep it from coming apart? By the way , your truck is CQQL ! I had a 49 Chev PU, I really like the body style.

Couldn't you fold the edges over, use twine in a large needle and just do a simple chain stitch by hand around the perimeter?

Rebel Rods April issue in the Homegrown Rodz section. It is currently being used on the Georgia Mountain Moonshine Cruise-In website, which is coming up on August 13,14,15th. Looks like it's going to be a good show. Thanks for the visit to my build thread !!

Even when folding the edges, they still try to un-raffle. That is why I used the whole sacks on the bottom of the seat and sewed them together and on the backs, I found sacks that would slide over the backs without cutting them. I was just wondering if Tater had come up with something I had'nt thought of. I think for the floor mats, I need to slide something, mabey even some cheap floormats inside the sacks and then sew the edges with the twine ?? I have been using them the way they are for floormats, but they want to wad up ect. Thanks for the reply , I will post if I do something cool with them !!

Thanks Bandit !! It's alot of FUN! Believe it or not , the seats are not to bad at all. If you wear a dark shirt, you may get a little burlp fuzz. I guess some burlaps could be very itchy ??

Had a buddy of mine, L-Ray, put me some new lines on the HB Unit. Turned out cool.

 

[hillbillysurf]

Some new items : First pic is my SUN Tach ! I have added some peaches and grapes to the nitrous system, with someone there to guard it. Also have been playing with burlap again, in the trunk. Added 2 new ladies in the back. And a shot of my $2 Chevy truck emblems !!

Here's my "Tennessee Flat Boards" with Deluxe fins !! Thinking about cutting a bite out of the passenger side board and maybe a half moon cutout in the other one, like it came from a outhouse door ?? !!

 

[hillbillysurf]

Here is my sign made from a old washboard. Used the drawing Pablo did of the HB Unit a few weeks back on the RRR. Are we having fun yet ????

 

[58sled]

theme fits the car. had my doubts at first but its turning out good

 

[TiredIronGRB]

I saw it in person Saturday night at the Elizabethton Cruise-in and it looks great, tastefully done and was a major crowd pleaser.

 

[hillbillysurf]

Hey TiredIron , I think yours turned a few heads too !!! All that noise you was making. Sounded good !

 

[TiredIronGRB]

Yea, the gears in the blower will hypnotize you on a long trip.

Heck No !! I don't have dishnetwork. The one I saw was mostly about SEMA show. I wish I knew what episode number, so I could try to catch it. How much did they show of the car ? Was it at the BORLA Exhaust plant ?
