You already blew 90% out of the water, so do what ever with the covers. Some white with red inserts would he snazzy :D

That clip is for a rear kick panel. Rear seat and middle have a kick panel, across the bottom of the rear seat and on the side if the middle. Full width middles and short walk thru middles each have a different style.

beat me by seconds

I agree ditch the og interior idea you're way off track of 90% OEM


I think some white vinyl with red tweed inserts..have bill sew them up.

that would be sweet and tweed is great cause its cloth and your back wont be sweating when your driving in the summer

but you could easily put AC in it too which would be a killer addition

Tweed would be great, nice suggestion. This Bus is going to get driven a lot, so would be a sweet upgrade.

I contacted TMI about covers and they are sending me a vinyl sample out in the mail. The problem is the original style covers are butt-ugly so I may not stick with "correct". Also, their website is kind of difficult to navigate and understand. If anyone has a suggestion for a better looking cost effective cover, I'm all ears.

I took a second mortgage on my house and bought the final paint, PPG DelFleet one stage urethane, a gallon of white and a gallon of red. What's funny is the chip charts had at least a dozen formulas that were close enough to virtually interchange, but the prices across those dozen (almost identical) colors varied by $130/gallon. WTF?




Don't be cheap on paint.

It's what everyone other than Aaron Brad and Ted will notice first.




Probably about 460 hours right now. :roll:

I don't know what paint you're referring to, but this shit ain't cheap. Two gallons set me back a half a grand, which by metallic car paint standards isn't much, but this is regular "enamel". I've been shooting mostly Kirker urethane and having good luck with it (shot many gallons, but mostly on trucks and trailers). Delfleet is several times the cost as Kirker but after constant hounding by Chuck I finally gave in. He'd never shut up if I shot it in Kirker. :lol:

PS: He never shuts up, period.
