Huge props to Vdubtech! Panel van upholstery.

Post by GavinHuart »

Greetings,

Big shout out to Pierre and the clan who did the most superb job of finishing off the interior in my Panel van :hangloose: . The bus had been painted by Vdubtech some time ago and still looks as it did the day they were finished! As for the interior, only the front seats, door cards and kick panels were done at the time of respray due to finances. The bus is used constantly and deserved to be finished. I know it's a lot of red, but I wanted continuity and having Photoshopped a few reference images, Pierre and his guys climbed in and, in record time, delivered this fantastic result! I couldn't be happier!

Thank you Pierre and Co. :hangloose:

Looking Good ! And kudos for Pierre and clan thinking "out of the box" im sure when you stated you needed the interior to have a warm and fuzzy feeling the last thing you thought they would include was a dog ! :):)

Looks nice. Looks like you have the later headlight buckets, 64-67 style, and the very nice +- mid 64 to 67 heater outlets with diverter lever.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).

Hi Dawie. Very observant indeed. Afaik, the headlight buckets are correct to this model. As for the heater vents and diverter, that had been chopped and installed before I got the bus. Can't wait to get the heaters going on this one to see how well they work!
