[5.7 hemi]

Speaking of trim, I got some put on, the booster/master, and working on the console. Gotta get some vinyl and carpet for the console, but no major mods to fit the new trans tunnel.

I had to go to San Francisco for an eye appt today, everything is healing just fine and I can now see the doc here in my home town from here on out. I hate that 4 1/2 drive there and back, glad to be done with it.

Got the body plugs in, center console redone...waiting on side carpet from legendary. I'll post some pics tommorrow.

Here is some eye candy. I apologize for the picture quality, my eye is still not 100%.

 

[rapidtransitric]

things are coming along nicely. that metalic pops out doesn't it?

 

[5.7 hemi]

Thanks Rapid, you should see it in the sunlight, friggin' awesome!!

Got some heat/sound deadning on under the roof, should finish it tomorrow.

 

[rapidtransitric]

more pictures you know the drill

 

[5.7 hemi]

Got the undercoating on the inside of the rear quaters and finished the sound/heat deadning. I bought 3 rolls of the stuff, but it still wasn't enough to cover every square inch so this will be better than nothing. On a side note, this stuf does not want to stick when cold so I used my 500 watt floor light the heat up the sticky side, worked great.

there you go

 

[Donny]

That is an impressive color!

 

[fury0us]

is that a repo arm rest or did you have it recovered??

 

[5.7 hemi]

Rapid, I had a feeling you were jonesen' for car ****!!

Donny, I can't say this enough, but the color really pops in the sun.

furyOus, I had an extra arm rest, so I wanted to give it a try, not too shabby for my first time at upolhstery work.

In what way Zack ? I purchased mine a while ago but yet to install them.

Hey Joe, the fat black sponge type gaskets were a pain, the go over the wiper shaft then you need to stick the whole thing thru the bottom on the cowl and manipulate the sponge gasket to fit in the hole while push it up. Dish soap work fine, but I would have known that if I read the instructions first...you know typical guy thing to go in head first.lol!!
