Coming along nicely Pete. Did you powdercoat the handles?

I love that I will have access to a few powder, zinc, aluminum, and ceramic companies in Spokane now.. THINGS are gonna be nice.

[pistonpete]

Yes, handles,dash,center caps are powdercoat,new service here. The mlds are a $%# to tape, but hey.

I got a call from my friend across the river that my floor kit (carpet) was in, gonna pick that up i can't wait to see it !!

Jas, the outer belt mlds, can u install those after glass is in or did you have to remove them to install ?? I know you have changed some but i could not find in your post.
I'm thinking glass has to be out ??

P,

Yes you can. The outers are a breeze to install. Just roll down the window and they clip/snap on.

If you are not running the old OEM panels with the belts incorporated for the inner cards/panel they are tricky and take some time to get right.

I always considered it OCD, not ADD (I may be wrong here though). But a little bit is not a bad thing at all.... Back in the day they used to call us 'perfectionists'
And speaking of.... why does your new odometer show 000000.450kms? Factory QC test?

Man that is lookin nice!
Who did the carbon fiber?

 

[pistonpete]

Thanks man, thats just the way it went back together. The carbon is easy it's just the wrap for cars...

WHAT'S THAT?

*** TIP *** Let it sit out in the sun for a bit and let it get easy. MUCH easier to work and fit.
