that would be cool to find some fabric with the "3" and "A legend never dies" on it as well.

That is realtree hardwoods pattern and I got it from a friend of mine who works at a fabric printing mill that prints fabric for the military. That fabric is the kind that they make hunting pants out of. Good and thick. That is why I used heavy duty glue so it would hold it up. So far it is holding good. I also done the door panels and the part behind the seat in the same fabric. you can see all of it in my albums in my profile.

How did you get the fabric off the door panels? Just wondering before I go ripping it all apart. I wanna do this truck up so its nice for my son when he takes it over next year.

The top piece I just covered over the old fabric, and the bottom piece is stapled around the edges and has some silicone or glue in the middle. I just used a screw driver to pop the staples and pulled it loose. The glue came off no problem. Then I cleaned it with alcohol and used the carpet I pulled off as a pattern and traced it onto my fabric and cut it out. The upper panel is a PITA to remove without breakin the plastic clips that hold it to the door. I broke mine and just stapled it from the back with some shorter staples so they wouldnt poke through.

There has to be a way of takin the upper panel off without breakin them but I dont know what it is. I did just what you dont want to do and just started rippin it apart. That is why I broke mine.
