coolioni Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Does anyone know of a good shop in the Central Florida area that can help restoring my 720 ?Mechanicly itis all repaired, now I want to redo the interior. It is in descent shape , but I would like to really dress it up. I also need a little body work done due to some rust especially in the bed area. I took some pics of the rust spots and a few others to show engine and interior. I will post them in the next thread. How come I can't post pics ????? Quote Link to comment

imtb Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Seat out a early bmer. Had to make special brackets but I didnt drill any new holes. I also dynomated the floor and doors that made a world of difference in the noise. I also had to replace some window felt and seals. Quote Link to comment

510er Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 that would work yes, i used one of these... http://www.matcotools.com/ProductImages/se355k.jpg with the disc that is pictured 2nd in from the left. they are used for cleaning up gasket surfaces. The next thing im going to try is putting it in a drill press and trying to achieve this pattern Quote Link to comment
whisper3H Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 yeah kind of like some gun actions that are turned Quote Link to comment

The next thing im going to try is putting it in a drill press and trying to achieve this pattern 510er that's a great idea. I'm going to try that this weekend. in my bridgeport mill. I did this one free hand. This pic sucks. But I did the same thing you did on your dash. I think I'll try some 3M hard discs and see how it turns out.

510er Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 well it worked as expected, i just did a small piece and the camera died so i cant upload pics until its charged. Datrod, you should be able to do a much better job than me, i was just eyeballing it and using the elbow seat of my pants on how much pressure to apply ill load the pics tomorrow Quote Link to comment
datsunwizard Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Here my interior in the "73". Recaros in spectum fabric with matching rear seat and Stainless steel "SSS" emblems. Inset Supersonic line on top and depressed line on bottom to mimic the outer body line. Quote Link to comment
510er Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Using this tool... you can use it by hand to get your dash to look like mine or you can put it in a drill press and or mill and achieve this affect, here is a small sample I also have been practicing with different designs under vinyl for like door panels and such, I have made a few kick panels if anyone wants any, they are plane with speaker holes ill post, some pics of them tonight. here is something i tries last night. I think it would have came out better if i used bigger rope. oh well Quote Link to comment

hessianben Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I did a little work on my center console last week. I made some billet cup holders. So that's what you get when you have your own machine shop!! haha Looks slick John! Quote Link to comment
THECHRISTIAN Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 that is an excelent idea! ive been tryin to figure out where to mount the amps in my car right now. the only issue i see with that is proper ventilation because amps get hot and having 2 in an enclosed area might fry them. not sure if you had any plans for that but giving you a heads up. How did you mount them in their, I see MDF but whats that screwed too? Quote Link to comment

Creepy Cruiser Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Also let the contact cement dry a little longer on both the vinyl side and the wood side, untill it's just barely not tacky anymore. And then press all the edges down real good (while keeping it warm with the heat gun) with the top round edge of a bondo scraper or such. And here are some pics from a 720 we built like 17 years ago. BTW that's a 30" sub 8-15's, 4-10's 4-8's, 3 sets of mids and tweets and 11,500 watts of power! with 11 batteries to power it all. CAN YOU SAY BOOM!!!!
