Dont go giving him a bigger head than he already has.

Well... this little "let's replace the front end bushings" project is just about complete. You may recall that Rudy has a small mishap with a Honda about two weeks after getting his car back.... which evolved into a complete paint job -- which in turn -- led to a complete interior. Today I got a pic of the door panel so that means it's got to be just about done!



A little bump.....








And then the "as long as we're here" starts....














































This is a bad photo -- but the "inserts" are perforated. And there's a strip of carpet on the bottom of the door and the raised area is perforated.

That looks great Greg. Bet he's happy!

I dig those door panels. They look...dare I say it... Mustangish.

Happy is way under where they're at.... I am happy for them. They absolutely love their car... and it needed some serious help. Now they have a safe, great running and fun driver they can enjoy. Plus -- I won't be embarrassed to be parked next to 'em.

Oh yeah.... I'll tell him that.... repeatedly!


This is no Tracy Weaver job -- or Sid Chavers etc -- but it's really nice work - very solid looking in person. I think the '57 Pierre just bought from Ironworks might end up here. The guy does real nice structure... and it's plenty good enough (dare I say it) for this kind of build. It's not over the top OMG... but it's way friggin' better than some so called custom interiors I've seen. The headliner - which is just too hard to get a pic of - is just over the top. He used some kind of fabric - and it's absolutely perfect.

Thanks! As stated above - I think Dan has done a real nice job. The car had standard Camaro vinyl interior in it... and we all know those seats were bad from the factory -- so this kinda started when I got him some Recaro's... and then the rest of the car was turning out so nice I told him just to find a decent upholstery shop in Portland and get it done. Dan even took apart the Recaro's and put the perforated in the centers. Really changed the look of them!

I like the way the rear seat turned out.

Grey, any idea what these interior guys use to get that bevel that's on the interior door panel around the insert? Turned out good, nice work there.
