in the booth..
now seeing some of you guys' projects here it is FAR from perfect but for $600 including materials, what are you gonna do? the car was shot with a metallic black found on 1998 honda accords and looks GREAT in sun; the metallic flake is a very fine mixture of red and blue. none of the pics do the actual color justice but hey, this is all about a nice photo laden documentation of progress, right?
its all one color, finally!
so at this point there is something that needs to be done about the interior. a good friend had some black carpet from ACC that he was ditching in favor of another color, so he gave it to me. free = good
after that i made some calls and found someone that used to work at an upholstery shop that was wanting to do some stuff on the side.....
and $350 later we have it. i reversed the color scheme on the seats to match the later cars but kept the lear siegler seats i purchased from a good friend in alabama instead of using the seats out of the newer cars. i used some VHT interior dye to color the top of the console black as the original "bone" shade had discolored and faded.
now yes, i know the interior plastics and the seats dont match 100%, but its as good as i could do at the time and no one but myself and a few really picky people have ever said anything about it.
and here we have basically the finished product
before anyone says anything, yes i have one black wheel on the car. i wasnt sure if i liked the gunmetal i finished the wheels in, so i did one gloss black just to experiment.
i'm tired of typing for now so i'll leave you guys with a halfway finished shot of the engine bay
