currently we have black carpet, but it is falling apart, I would like to take it off and leave the natural floor, sand it and fix a few marks it has, then go over it with a laquer.
My question is, what is the stuff all of you use?
any pics?

for flow coat you can use dura tech or gel coat. I used clear gel it an it looked great. make shure you spray pva over it so it will cure.

Hey Ben,
Where you been? I have a couple of ideas I have been tossing around, so I think I might need your craftsmanship, one thing is the gas tank thingy magigies on top of the seats, I will get you some pics.
Billy B actually sent me a PM and I have seen lots of his work and I think I will get it prepped this winter once everything is stripped down and take it to him and get the "Billy B touch".

Getting ready to do my floor now. It is pretty much sanded and ready for flow coat. I've always heard great things about Billy B's work and have seen pics of his work so I decided to ask him and he recommended the Dura-tech product. I'll post pics when I get mine complete. Hopefully it'll come out half as good as the picture in the post above.

See the round metal on the seat? it is drilled in with 3 screws then the middle comes off with a flathead screwdriver and that cap screws in. I want to get some new ones, cause they are pretty much gone, they are fully yellow. Is this something for you?

D, when my upholstery was out I was able to polish my caps out a little. My exhaust tips were shot so I sanded off the chrome and had them re-plated. $50 bucks and there better than new. There is a little plating shop close to where I work and I can get the address for you if you like. I can also get the plating off easier if you like. Free of charge.... :cool: v-drive
