    :D glad your enjoying




    continued on the heater and dash ..
    got the rest of the plastic vents cleaned

    [​IMG]

    and all installed
    installed the dash and some other pieces ..

    [​IMG]

    and then installed the new cover .. i'm not happy with the fit now though , as the "gluing" of fabric undernieth has made the dash pad "sit up" higher then it is supose to :-/ .. I just need to talk to the upholstry guy , but i'm pretty sure I can now trim the excess fabric undernieth off now , and make it "fit" as it should ..

    good stuff.. have you drilled out and welded your dynamat roller yet? I hate the way those things fall apart right out of the package.

    little more today .. some "finishing up" ..

    got the roof done in the sound deadner ..

    [​IMG]

    also , although they will not be seen or anything .. I sealed up the bare metal of the seats .. heres the backs

    [​IMG]

    also .. got he dash pad back from upholstery guy ..
    fits much better , and got the dash and switches and such in ..
    I wish the glove box door would fit these units better .. I might just take the door off and "build it up" to get that gap better ..

    [​IMG]

    Upholstery guy is comming next week to install the new carpet
    so , now , tomorrow I have to lay out the wiring for the sterio , GPS and such ..

    thanks bud .. but I have a son , and he isnt getting it either :)

    funny though .. the build actually started as a build for him .. he was helping , but alas .. he is now 14 abd discovered girls , and no longer helps on the project .. and yes , he knows he isnt getting it now ..
