...touche...
As another quick update, The A-Pilars will also be a split pattern... mostly the carbon/paint over the fiberglassed piece, but where the 3 inch wide piece in front of the dash meets up with the bottom of the A-pilar, it'll be a black mold in with it... errr... it'll make more sense tomorrow night.

gotta love how that center vent NEVER really lines up right, after you take it out. No matter what, you can always see a small gap somewhere. 
looking good mark! what are these "indicator" lights for?
hmm... if i go into "edit" indi-c-ator is spelled right... but as soon as i click "save" it replaces the C with NK.  |

In the A-Pilar? Oh, it'll be the main 8 warning lights from the instrument face (Ie., check engine, change oil, etc...)
In the end, the instruments will be replaced - I'm looking at the nexus line from autometer. But, hi-ho, hi-ho, back to the garage I go...

so, home for lunch... all I want to finish today is the sanding, filling, and smoothing of the A-pilars, getting them painted, as well as the steering wheel column cover - the FG on that one's drying as we speak, should be ready for tonight - I hope.
Other than that, things are good... the driver's A-Pilar is in the prep room, ready to be painted, the pass side still has to be filled and sanded. Should take about 2 hours to get it ready for painting.
What else... ...I might pull off the driver door panel, and get that ready for some work... shouldn't be too much I don't think... just a matter of redoing the leather, painting up the door handles, repainting the red parts, and applying the sheet metal...
We'll see how tonight goes...

I wrote a how to on it, check it out, and I hope this helps... if it doesn't, or there's some questions - just PM me, and I'll answer you. In turn, I'll post it on the thread, so that if someone else has the same question, we're slick...
So, 12:20, back from the garage... I'm tired... but here's what's done...
The Driver door panels completely ripped apart on the garage floor. The top piece is stripped, sanded, fiberglassed, and curing as we speak. In the morning, it'll be polished up and sprayed with the gunmetal colour. The other piece, the black, will be reappoulstered (sp?) tomorrow with new black material. Junk. It's cut, and the game plan is set on how I'm going to do it, but it's still going to be a bitch. As well, the other pieces are going to be repainted to the new red I'm using. Then the kick panels will be rivetted to it. What else... oh, yeah, that little green light inside the door lock switch will be replaced for blue.
That's about it for that door panel...
The center "bend" in the sub-assembly was cut, will be welded upside down, but this will all make sense once I actually finish that area.
What else... what else... oh yes, the A-Pilars are prepped for painting tomorrow morning. The forward piece on the upper dash will also be painted tomorrow - the gunmetal colour. That's all prepped and waiting to go.
Why no pictures? Because its 12:35 am, and I'm beat. So, I'm going to go to bed, but tomorrow there will be quite a few pics - 2 days worth.
Goodnight.

What's this?
Anyway, I came home early today, just to watch the Leafs get knocked out of the playoffs... what can I say... cuts deep.
Not much was done today. Painted the fuse box cover - wow - and sanded down the fiberglass, I'm really beginning to hate that stuff... Anyway, as it stands, and tomorrow everything is closed, not much to be done... however, come Tuesday-Thurs, the door panel on the drivers side will be finished - except for the window crank handle... those I'm still waiting on. Otherwise, done... then onto the pass side to do the same thing.

I'm taking a couple days off because of personal reasons. I'll have updates up in a few days. I apologize for the delays.

To bad the Leafs go cut out b/c it would of been a good game against Buffalo. But than again i'm happy they did b/c they're a bigger threat to Buffalo than the Islanders. Can't wait for the playoff games to start!!!!
On another note. I have the same Infinity's as you they're great speakers! |
