Draker Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 He wants a metal bumper with brackets. Dave doesn't have rear brackets in stock until September and Metal rear bumpers are $360. If he had brackets, I might consider selling you my rear bumper and buying his. 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Got home early enough to be able to reupholster my front door panels and prep them for install when I get back next Thursday....yes I won't get more chances to do anything to my dime til the day before Rats with Dats....so I came home determined to finish the front panels, all I gotta do is install them next week :thumbup: Mocking the panels... Glue....I used 3m profesional upholstery spray...apply to both, wait 10 minutes and marry the pieces.... Sliding the metal piece so the material settles and makes the install on the door easier....wasn't easy...it fought me good lol Ready for window and door handle holes.. Cut them up and applied glue... Used bottles to keep holes uniform while glue dried.... Done, not too bad, can't wait to install them next week :) Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 *Shitty pic warning* But in some time yesterday to re-wrap my steering wheel. It's been an interesting challenge. More work to do. 4 Quote Link to comment
510T Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Nice, what brand wrap? Looking forward to seeing the result. How do you measure a wheel for one of those? Is it the inside, outside or middle diameter? 1 Quote Link to comment

Is it the inside, outside or middle diameter? I just bought material from the upholstery store. I used the old leather as a template, but it would be as simple as cutting a small piece to stretch around the wheel, cut to fit, then cut long pieces. It's still a work in progress. It could turn out like total shit.. lol I dunno never done it before. 1 Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looks like it might be good weather today so I will open her up to make sure she gets dryed out if needed. Got to glue on a bridge on a old D28 Martin guitar so then I can pull the neck off to do a reset. Been putting it off but sooner I get it done sooner I can get back on the goon. Got to get all the motor parts on and a radiator on it. Quote Link to comment

KoHeartsGPA Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Finished door panels and few other ods and ends... Found this in my stash while searching for one of the arm rests....and yes it's metal....was rusted so I cleaned it up and painted to match the other black pieces... Tomorrow I go shopping for camping and pack up :frantics: Quote Link to comment
datO))) Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Wiper motor installed but not wired yet. Cleaned up wires hooked up sterio. Installed new rubber on the doors. Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Finished door panels and few other ods and ends...: I really like that texture. I've been on the fence about making new front panels for my car. The driver side one is in pretty bad shape. I like the factory imprint, and a flat panel looks kind of boring to me, but that texture breaks it up a bit. If I make new fronts, I'll feel inclined to make matching rears, even though they're in nice shape. Decisions decisions... 2 Quote Link to comment
