I feel your pain.. Im just getting the Trans am and my GTO back together so I just drive them

It's tough being the perfectionist you are Lenie! Hang in there Bro :thumbsup:

Thanks Wayne, the extra time is in learning/rework and emptying the trash.

It's painful, It's driveable.. I just can't bring myself to do that until it's somewhat finished.

I just keep reworking things I've already had done...sound familiar:D I'm working it everyday and enjoying it, just can't see the big picture at times. I did take Greg Welds advice written a few times in this forum, had to do some re wiring...something I know absolutely nothing about but one wire at a time, next thing ya know...done. Perfectionist is in the eyes of the beholder:hairpullout:

Dickin' around building a console. Getting closer.

Lenie you are doing some fine work,that console looks great:thumbsup:

I agree it looks nice, another custom touch.

looks good Lenie, keep fighting it will all be worth it when you mash your foot to the floor and smoke the tires scaring people in the process :thumbsup:

Wow Lennie. Again, I love this bird!

Love the detail on your car both inside and out!! :hail:

Looks awesome Lenie. Keeps getting better and better.

I'll give you $5 for the toilet.

Greg I will see you the $5 and raise you $1 :catfight: But thats as far as I'll go :waveflag:

Awesome work Lenie! :thumbsup:

I've been whining like a little girl lately so had to post something. Appreciate all the remarks. Greg you can have that toilet for $5 but there is a hell of a delivery charge. The toilet's for the kids house I've been remolding w/him, my garage is the storage facility:badidea: Got my flights and hotel (flamingo) booked for Sema, if the kid don't go, one of you are more than welcome to grab the extra bed. Raj, next year man, next year.

I had Tony over the other day, he owns stitches hear in Bremerton and does excellent upholstery. I've decided once I get the interior ready I'm going to have him cover the remainder (console, 2 back seat and package tray so I can getterdone and take Weld for a stroll.

Subframe connectors makes it a little rough to lay carpet so I leveled the playing field front and back.

Bikes, cars and coffee. Did I miss anything:flag2:

What about the van, man?

Gotta be getting close, car looks great. Hopefully you'll be happy with upholstery work.
Baddest early bird around!

I don't see the coffee?

Thanks, vans next in line.

I did forget something.

slick idea Lenie ! it will help keep your feet cool too.

Gone as far as I can go, decided to take it to an upholstery shop (stitches, which is a very good shop) to finish fabricating my back seat then covering my console, package tray, carpet and back seat.....then I'll do my final paint touch ups....done! First two pics are the in my garage the last is at the upholstery shop.

Congrats Lenie! I've heard nothing but good stuff about Stiches.

You'll be rollin' in no time :cheers:

Nice Lenie!

Can't wait to see it done. That Red looks awesome against the black.

Stitches does great work! So good for you Lenie!


Pierre (AKA "Frenchie") is going to take the '57 to them when he's ready. Bill Hite was over there stringin' some wire for his today.


You car is coming along and looking bad azz!

Thanks, ya... I'm ready to be done. Tony at stitches is a great guy who does quality work. Two years ago, one of his upholtered cars won at the grand national roadster show in cali.
He has 4 guys working for him full time in the shop and keeps five cars working in there full time...and still his appointments are back logged. If I'd been budgeted for upolstery there are two shops I would have trusted to do the entire car...one of them is a member of this site accross country and the other, stitches is 20 minutes away.

Nice job of sucking up there buddy!



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA



But I agree with you. I'd have Tracy do the '33 but Roy only works with Sid so I'm not rocking that boat.

I agree with Jeff,very nice.:thumbsup:

Trying to take the high road here ya know:unibrow:
Greg, where your having your car built...how can you go wrong! That's a whole higher level of perfection:G-Dub: How's that for sucking up:bump: but how can you hide the truth, that car of your's is looking fricking spectacular!

Thanks Jeff

Lenie,

Can't go wrong choosing that fine Corinthian leather in red to contrast against that badd ole blackbird. :unibrow:

Ricardo and I agree!!!

Lenie you gonna make SEMA? Man I'm lovin it!

Lenie, it looks badass. Dont sell yourself short

Thanks Skip, always questioning myself:bang: Please don't bring up power to weight ratio, we'll leave that ball in your court:poke:

Sweet, but where's the little guy? Thanks (Oh, da plane da plane)

Doesn't look like it Mario, I'd be cutting it close but doable, just didn't really have any takers. Thanks and I'll see you at the party!

Right on Raj, we'll have to get the cars together next summer.

Thanks Ryan. Hey if I could sell myself at all, I'd take $20 and a Denny's meal:underchair: Really though, I'm getting a little giddy to finally getting er finished!

OMG Lenie, that looks AWESOME. Your getting close buddy :thumbsup:

very nice Lenie,have you gotten to drive it yet?How was Sema for you?:thumbsup:

Yeah! :cheers:

Yeah, how was it Lenie? :D
