Gettin' started on the Orange Rat

Can't wait to see it at Baker's

I was going to try some design stuff in the roof panels, but the extra orange I ordered came in a shade redder than I wanted (tried to save a couple bucks), so Im going with all vanilla on the rear roof panels same as the cab area for now, Will be doing these this weekend yet.

A friend of mine made me this totebag to keep in the van. I think its pretty cool.

I also ordered some stuff for the floor, Going to try just making something like a custom fit throw blanket for the cargo area that can be rolled up out of the way in case I want to haul something nasty in it. Then do the auto carpet in the front. This cold weather is driving mee nutz.

Joe here a idea for you, I was thinking about installing my carpet in the 64 (if I ever get there) with industrail velcro . For the very reason you spoke of, so if I'm working on something I won't trash the interior

sweet tote bag... that's pretty "hot rod"

Corey,, Wait til ya see what Im gonna put on the floor ,,LOL
I got the roof panels in today.





I have one area that is going to need some help, the transition from cab to cargo, I have some of the good orange left and think I will make a trim strip up to help that out. Theres room for improvement in the fit, I could have allowed a smidge more room for the cellcore foam at the panel edges, but the clips seem to be doing thier job for now, very snug fit.

Oooh, SECKSAY!!! Excellent job fixing those roof panels!!!

Joe, That looks "AMAZAZINGGGG"! Great job!!

out standing.....................................

Messing with the floor blanket/covering.

I found out a young Amish fellow just opened up a tarp/upholstery shop around the corner from me. Gonna test him out on this a little bit.

That's what you're talking about... gotta match your tote bag! Would make awesome seat upholstery panels too! That's awesome for your van scheme!

she's comming along very nicel .keep us posted...

Nice!!!!!!

Wow I ve never seen flamed upholstery before. Looks cool,well,HOT!

Not much going on with the weather still a mess and ducks in the driveway, but the last clear weather let me do this while waiting on other things yet.

This part wasn't in the original plan but I had to buy a whole slice off the roll to get what I needed for up front. so..........

It covers up the rubber mat and dresses it up when the flames wont be on it. Not really fastened down ,just tucked under at the door openings, Inexspensive indoor outdoor carpet.

It looks great ! Bill

SHE IS LOOKING GOOD DIGZ. WILL YOU BE @ THE NATS...

Thanks guys. My plan is to make the Nats, What time I can afford to take off I'm not sure of yet. Probably be the 1/2 week instead of the whole shot. Also have to coordinate with Gotavan to see if we can run together.

Wow Digz, that interior is lookin' great!

Looks Fantastic Joe. That carpet really makes a difference!

Dan

Nice Job Joe!!!

I'M IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU REGARDING TIME OFF I'M LOOKNG TO GO THURS /SUN

Got the "Floor Blanket" back today. Think it'll do what I wanted it to.
Now I have to find out whats up on my last 2 panels,,,,
The flame pattern is on fleece, real soft, I had a backer sewn on out of some fabric similar to a very light tarp material, it makes it stiff enough to lay out very easily.
