bb1970 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My week end project was to re-vamp the truck of my '65. $48 in materials. And a little help from my kids (12&14). My 12 year old daughter sewed the spare cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb1970 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Very nice. What material did you use. Looks a lot more $$$$$$ than $48.00 Ed It looks like a thick felt. But one side has a very soft finished side. Like a very short nap carpet. Very easy to cut and mold. $11.95 a yard. 3 and 1/3 yards did the trick. Plus a can of DAP Weldwood spray adhesive. Ed I got it National Fabric on 7th street in KC.KS. I wanted something else completely. Then the guy at the counter showed me this and says "Here's was everyone is using. And it's cheap." I was sold. I can't remember what he called it. Sorry guys. Edited July 19, 2012 by bb1970 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really get a kick out of getting the kids involved. I love it when they find their way to the barn and help me with something. Especially when it turns out well.

RivNut Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'll have to take a picture in with me and see if the guy remembers what it is. Thanks,If anyone else is interested, I'll see if I can get a product name and manufacturer.National Fabric is about 10 miles from me.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitewatersky Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 to be honest, i don't think it looks as clean and tidy as yours bb, but I was just looking at the next Black GS on ebay and I reckon this boot carpet pattern looks nice too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McMahon Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I wonder if it comes in different colors? Looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1970 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I stopped by the upholstery supply house. I asked what they call the material i used. They call it Flexform trunk liner. I guess Flexform is the maker. Edited July 20, 2012 by bb1970 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
