Hey FABO!

Well for the peeps who know me I'm doing BOF's & FOTO's Dash pads.
I'll show BOF's first, then we'll drift into FOTO's dash too.

Foto is also getting a custom headliner all 2" padded and button tucked. I know it's not A-Body but knew someone will like to see, so were doing both at the same time. Car show is this weekend not next!!!
ABodyBetty can't go, so I'm showing BOF for the second year and might even show FOTO there too!! (Piggy Back!!)

So here's a step by step, DON"T TRY THIS AT HOME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!:read2:

Now we got the disclaimer out of the way, here we go guys!
Not alot of joking due to short on time due to pending show.:clock:

I hope everyone enjoys! 8)
FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY!!!!!:toothy10:

Cool work, keep it up!

Hey!
Thanks for the kind words!! You'd be suprised to know how much that fires me up to do even more today!!:cheers:
Thanks again for the shout out and have a great day today!!!8)
 
Looks great so far, keep us posted!!

Thanks!!
I will!!
It is nice to have some feedback, just to make sure I'm not boring FABO members, and to guage to see if I should keep posting even though it is a "FERD" we were working on.
But everything on FOTO can be translated and used in ABody door panels, dash pads, package trays, etc.
Thank you again for the kind words, they were just what I needed to get fired up again today!!!:cheers:
Have a great day today, 4spdragtop!!8)
 
Hurry on with the dash update man

Im in exactly the same position and watching on with interest!!!Wanna see it covered!
 
As the owner of a '92 Ford (close kin to your '86), I'm definitely interested in posts about it. That headliner looks like a fun project, I might try it myself. Besides, most of this stuff is about technique; it's not really model-specific.

I agree, if that doesn't give some food for thought on ABody door panels, dash pads, package trays, kick panels, etc., I don't know what would! LOL!!:toothy10: Sides FOTO is part of the family now and is properly stripped of any Ferd logos from exterior too!!8)

Wait till you guys see the overhead consol I'm going to build. I build them so you can unlatch them and drops down on hindges/chains so you can install/maintain electronics in it. Yeah it will be padded and buttoned too! That will give thought to custom center consols for radios, snack trays and the like!8)

Check in later for progress Slansick! Have a great day today!:-D
 
Ok FABO's!
Here we go!
Got plenty of pics for ya. Also didn't let that heat stroke bother me when I was doing the sun stretch on that crazy shaped dash!!:happy10:

Hope you guys like......8)
