If you are anything like me, you will wind up making all the grain go one way. And then scream when someone touches it making the grain go the opposite way

Great job..... BIG PIMPIN'!!

 

[Skillet]

That is the s***...

I really like the "reflective bubble wrap looking stuff."

Nice work.

 

[turbocruiser]

WOW.

What's next with the suede?

 

[Polak]

Duh-Am!!!

 

[Dynosoar]

Nice work. But, it's not really PIMP because you did not use ostrich skin! That would be PIMP PITIUOUS.

What, you didn't take the time to disconnect and remove those pointless rear tweeters!

I hope you checked to make sure all of the clips on your drain hoses were still secure and not slipping off.

Oh and is that a hole I see for a rear cargo light! Very Nice... I luv' mine.

I thought about it and just didn't get around to doing anything with them. I was thinking about adding the Ikea lights but my 80 already is so bright it will trigger a migraine.

I did take the time to tighten all the sun roof drains and all the bolts are secure. I even fished out the nutsert that was bouncing around in there and cleaned and lubed the tracks.

that looks real nice,
so what's next on the project list, seats with suede inserts?

New leather from Shane (Aatlas) but decided against the seude inserts.

so what happens if you get water on it??? seriously it looks like its going to be great

The material is faux suede, a type of micro suede and it doesn't seem to care when it gets wet.

WOW.

What's next with the suede?

Suede is complete. I used the flash on the camera to highlight the grain but it is still pretty flash. I doubt the truck needs any more suede.

Nice work. But, it's not really PIMP because you did not use ostrich skin! That would be PIMP PITIUOUS.

...or did I?

 

[24HOURSOFNEVADA]

[ElectricDyck]

Root, how did the visors turn out and what did you do about the edging that goes around the sunroof opening

The visors haven't been recovered yet. I may trim off the flaps when the subtank project starts and have them recovered. The sunroof trim is stock. It looks fine, just washed it up a bit.

I could be following your lead here, not necesarily seuding it up, although its temping, pimpin and all , well see if I can find the right colour match and fabric ,,,I like a lot what youv done with your truck the clean crisp look is good on white, my orange lenses are getting to me now,, im verging on major revamp interior stripdown, and outside paint touch up etc,,, tks, Al
