  1. I primer my interiors and white glue will stick to primer paint real well. Also, the paper graphics will take on whatever form the seats have, even tuck and roll. Anthing. Paper is pretty thin and pliable, so it's only up to your imagination.

    I think this fall I'd like to do an article on the subject. :unsure:

    Oh one more thing, thinking of paper materials.

    I love using tissue paper on junkers and rats as torn and shredded headliners . . ..

    thank you cranky i for one would love a tutorial on how to do this and i also would be interested on the headliner bit too thank you.

  2. Thank you Cranky thats what i was looking for. Now one more question do you print it on regular paper, or decal paper? I just started doing scratch building and i want to have fun with it as i'm tired of building straight from the box. thank you everybody for your help. Oh and cranky i love your builds you are amazing.

  3. ok i've heard of people using photocopied upholstery to upholster thier car seats. has any one here done this, or now how to do it, and know where to get the upholstery,or can it be printed at home? any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm wanting to put a mexican styled blanket on a rat rod project. thanks guys for any and all help.

  4. wow this is something i've been wanting to learn how to do for a long time. now my only question is how do you deal with the interior side of the door and the door jambs? have you writen anything on that subject yet? also what about trunk and hood hinges? keep up the good work and thanks for a good how to article.

  5. i'm working on a 67 chevelle ss 396 that i goofed the two tone paint job up on and i'm working on a 69 nova as well as a model 359 peterbuilt for my wife and last but not least my 29' phaeton jwac build. but i do have a chevy truck model that i'm going to be working on as soon as i clear some of the other projects out.

  6. thank you everybody this is helping and to calrify one the photo and the begining of this thread was taken with the camera set for flouresent lights macro was on no zoom and i was 1 foot away. also i am on a very low budget so my price range for a new camera is around 100 dollars. thanks again everybody.

  8. well craig the way i usually tint a back window is by painting the inside of the window with a dilluted flat black paint and i dillute it till it's the shade of tint i want. for example if i wanted limo tint i would paint straight from the bottle. i don't have a formula for mixing as i just do what i like but thats how i do it. now i've heard of guys using actual window tint film but i don't know how to do that or if it actually works. hope this helps and keep up the good work. oh i use junkyard windows to test my tint mix on. keep up the good work. and rommel thanks for the tip on paintt as i have bumpy paint sometimes too.

  9. thank you gbk1 that helped alot and i know what you mean about the weather up there in seattle i used to drive truck through there all the time till i lost my job. and i love it up there when i was a kid i lived in idaho and montana and i miss it trying to get back up north and out of (ugh) cali.
