SIV GT Interior (s)

[DanR]

I am attempting to restore the interior trim in my Red GT BW. The GT was saved from the scrap yard more than 30 years ago. There was not much of the trim left when I became the "proud" owner of a truly rust bucket.

I am struggling with some of the original pieces of the metal trim I was able to salvage and or restruct, along with pieces I have been able to purchase from our supportive members.

Now comes the part where I am attempting to put the pieces of the puzzle together

Don'tt know if I have them all and not for sure how they fit together is where I have found myself.

In a few PIC's you will be able to see various components from "other" GT's.

Help me answer a few questions, provide guidance where you can and I am fully open for constructive critism in this project.

Dan there should be a cardboard piece covered with your vinyl that covers the B post and does a 90 degree turn to the tabs you've pointed to. On the differential hump I believe it should be vinyl glued to the car?? Hope this is helpful.

Jeff, Thanks, I thought there would be something like you said to cover the Bpost.

Wish I had a pattern! Just may fabricate my own if no one comes to the rescue.....

Agreed with you on the differential hump. Think that will work.

You did good,

Dan, this is the piece look carefully and you will see that the cardboard has a bend to wrap around the b door pillar
Its kinda odd that the piece and the wheel well trim piece cover each other. I may drill and use small sheetmetal screws on those tabs and then tuck the b pillar piece under......... or get an opinion from an upholsterer!!!

Thanks Bruce. That made my day, even if it is 8:30PM EST.

I came in a bit early to get away from the "cube"

Think I will get out some thin cardboard and do a template so I can make a few pieces out of thin metal in lieu of a hard water proof board.

I like the idea of using metal for the substrate. You may even give FRP a try ( fiberglass reinforced panel ) though I don't know how tight a radius you can put in it for the B pillar.
