On this page we have included
some of the best interiors we have done for our
customers’ cars and trucks. Everything
that is featured here has been designed, built
and upholstered in our shop. Many hours
have been invested in the engineering of hidden
fasteners, unique cover panels, and a design
that not only suits the owner’s personality but
also sets what we feel is a new direction in
street rod interiors. |
Please understand that many of
the photos used on this website were taken
years ago for our company photo album. While the
quality of most are very good many were all
taken pre-digital age! Be sure to click on some
of the pictures for more details and larger

This interior was created to give
a dynamic, seamless look. All aluminum
moldings and trim panels (power window switch
pods) were hand made as well as all panels,
armrests, and trim panel light bars (there is
indirect lighting installed into the backside of
each door armrest and the trim bar on the rear
compartment and front trunk panel). Even the
small 1/8” chrome trim around the digital clock
(far right side of dash) was hand made. All
wires, hoses, ducting, etc. under the dash are
completely concealed by hand fabricated steel /
upholstered trim panels. The door power
window switch “pods” were formed and fabricated
in steel in two pieces and then welded together.
There is an electric slider box under the
passenger side seat for storage for a cell phone
(complete with charging outlet), C/Ds and other
personal items. |
This slider
box
can be operated by either
driver or passenger via a switch mounted in the
lower custom fabricated seat pans that conceal
the seat tracks. We custom engineered an
electrical “swing down / swing up” device for
the air ride gauges and switch panel. When
the car is started the gauges swing down into
view – when the ignition is switched off the
gauges swing away under the dash out of sight.
The headlight switch, wiper switch and A/C
controls are mounted behind a fold down door in
the center of the dash. The inside door handles
are installed under the dash with delayed
courtesy lights (activated when the headlights
are turned off – for only a duration of 10
seconds) For the purpose of illuminating their location at night.
This feature only activates when the headlights
have been in use and are not an issue during
daytime driving. |

Everything
in this truck interior was replaced,
remade or modified. Only the glove
box door and the switch bezels (which
were re-welded into the newly fabricated
dash) were left as the only OEM
elements. The finned aluminum
pieces down low on the door and kick
panels serve as speaker grills on the
door panels as well as vent covers on
the kick panels – allowing the use of
the original fresh air intake
system. |

The
dash was fabricate complete in steel and
then painted rather than covered in
leather to give a unique seamless look.
The finishing touches include real oak
veneer on the dash stained to match the
color scheme of the interior, a hand
stitched leather steering wheel cover and installation
of two sets of three point seat harnesses and a center
seat belt to safely accommodate there occupants. |

This car retained its
original roll up windows which allowed for them to become the focus of
the door panel design. Simulating the look of an old 45rpm record,
the window cranks became reminiscent of a record player tone arm. Using
hand made aluminum deco pieces the design took on a real “period” look
with a touch of “tech”. |
Each round aluminum piece was first
“radial spun” to replicate the look of an old 45 rpm record and the
center was brushed through the middle to match the flow of the two side
pieces to the front and rear of the disc. The customer's interior choice
of a light tan tweed and accenting light bone vinyl finishes out nicely.
