im not a fan of painted interiors, but...(pics)

i just wasnt happy with the "wood grain" on the dash and doors. so i figured i would try and see what i could do. im not completely happy with the finish on the ash tray cover, so i am going to take it back off and redo it. but you can at least see what it is going to look like. the doors is a different story. i havent gotten around to painting those yet, but you cant take the individual panels off. they are welded on, so i have to figure out a way of getting around that. any suggestions?

let me know what you guys think.

Looks good, kinda looks like my Harley. I should warn you, painted interiors end up scratched real quick. Looks really nice though.

I'm sure you could buy one from ford, that might cost an arm and a leg if not more. Maybe you could get something off Ebay, I know they offer kits to replace the woodgrain, or maybe someone will be parting out a smashed up Harley truck.

everything i have found is a lay-over kit, and i cant get just the parts i want. the only ones i have found are for all kinds of pieces ( dash, window and lock switches, overhead console... ) and none just the gloss black.

I'll try to find the place but the quality is amazing, you can't tell the difference and I believe you can order whatever pieces you want.

No, I don't have them but I was really close to buying some a while back. I'll try to search but it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to start now.

An overlay would be alot better then paint as far as scratching goes.

I'm not too sure if you can order individual pieces from this company but check out this thread.

I just realized you can't get Black from that website but that gives you a idea how they look.
