65 Coupe Interior

[NukeCoupe]

Does anyone know where to get materials to make door panels like was done on this beautiful Coupe? Also I like the more contoured dash. How to do?

Other nice things about this car, plastic interior door and trunk trim pieces, flat trunk (no gas fill tube box), molded heater duct box, and hood sound deadening.
Were these custom made?

That's a Superformance, they will not work on our Coupes, without some substantial work, and even then I doubt it.

Nuke, Hanks correct, the Superformance is a differant animal. It's Petes continuation SPF version. It's a much mre refined, production maodel. The ffr is more of a throw back to the "TRACK" coupe.

The interior for my build is custom. It is based on the concept of "Altered Reality". What would have happened if the Coupe and GT40 program were merged and the coupe program was not dropped for the GT40 one. Then Ford built a street car version in the late 90's just like they did with the Ford GT in this reality. That is my build.

I am in the final steps of building the plugs for a new dash which is modeled off the Ford GT.

I also will be using interior door panels off a Ford Contour as the starting point for my custom doors molds. It will be a two piece design and will mostly use the dark section of the photo below. That will be covered with the same material as the seats.

It will use all the Ford Contour hardware.

I will be making molds of all these pieces so multiple copies can be made. So keep your eye out for my postings on the door panels. I expect to have the dash finished in the next few days and then will be working on the door panels.

Yes I know it's a Superformance, but I would still like to give my car (assuming I build one) that luxury sports car feel inside, possibly with panels that can be easily removed for that race car feel when I want. But just for cruisin, the upholstery cuts down on noise inside.

I like your thinking. The Spartan approach is great for "authenticity" and for tracking, but for street driving and/or touring, the interior accroutrements are nice. Something to think about.

Thanks for the kind words. The steering wheel is a Grant 712 which isn't made anymore.
