With the exterior smoothed and slammed, Nathan knew he couldn't stop there. Moving inside the cab, he built a pair of custom door panels and a center console, which were then wrapped in tweed. Nathan also swapped in a pair of Mazda 626 bucket seats with the same graphite tweed. The dash was yanked out, shaved, and painted Porsche Riviera Blue, and then reinstalled. This helped bring the smooth exterior styling into the interior of the Mazda. Nathan finally decided to get some help and had Grand Auto Upholstery & Stereo add the tweed flooring. After five years of hard work, Nathan is excited to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Many have told him that his truck is excessive, but in our opinion, you can never have too much of a good thing.
