Default Never Ending 'Mod' Madness

After getting the interior pieces painted/flamed which included the center console, radio bezel, interior door panels, glove box, knee bolster and both airbags, the interior still didn’t look complete to me...
So the madness continues as you can see by the pics....
I removed the gauge pod and dissembled it last week....
Yesterday I finished removing the rest of the dash and delivered everything to the body shop.
Hoping to have it completed and installed by the first of year...

It's official. You're going to have to install an onboard fire supression system to keep those flames in check.
Can't wait to see the finished product.

Jim, Just in case you didn't already know, I read that you should store the instrument panel in an upright position. Can't wait to see the results; you, Jason and Brian are sure making the long winter nights go by quicker
