How to scratchbuild a showrod interior
by Badseed

(Dec 03, 2007) -

Interiors are an oft-neglected aspect in a build. Paint em black, grey or white and carry on with something more interesting. Gary (aka Badseed) believes in doing something a little special with his interiors though, as he shows us here:

Ok, today I'm working on my C-cab project, doing the interior panels, and since it's a show rod it has to have a cool show rod interior right? This is an easy way to get that show car interior look.

First take a foam plate, cut out the flat area, then mark out your pattern or grid using a ruler and pen .

Scribe the tuff or tuck lines using the back side of a plastic knife, then cut out the shapes of your interiors panels with a #11 blade. Try the fit and trim as needed .

Apply a base color as close to the fuzzy fur you're going to use.  You can also make piping using colored electical wire.
