Here are my updated photos. I finally finished my spring projects. Here's the lowdown.

I had some custom painting done by Pat from B&R Auto Body in Pompano, FL. He does awesome work, loves working on cars and yachts. He painted my interior trim mag red, and did my air intake, fuel rail covers, fuse box cover and coolant cover. Best of all, Pat is a forum member.

My friend and neighbor, Greg, provided me with the letters for the FRC's. Greg is also a forum member; though not a vendor, he sells select merchandise for various makes on his web site.

Ken from Vette Essentials sent me some gear - shift and emergency brake boots. At my request, he kept it simple. Black leather with red stitching. As we all know, his craftsmanship is superb. The only nuisance was the long wait, but that's my fault. It could have been avoided by sending him my emergency brake boot rather than waiting for him to get one on exchange.

Finally, I really couldn't complete my project without help from Pipedreams! Ed spent lots of thankless time talking me through the removal of the dash components, sending me instructions and photos of the hoodliner project, and giving me general moral support! My wife and I completed this aspect together.

Next project - complete my stereo upgrade, then the brakes - rotors and calipers. Without further ado, the photos!

 

 

Looks great and not to much bling! I like it...

 

Wow!....and I'm still waiting for Spring!

 

I have the smae one how much for all your mods? That is the sweetest vert yet done very nice a great taste.

 

Thanks!

Under $500 for the whole thing.

I did a lot of work myself, though. Removing the parts that got painted took a good, solid 2-3 hrs; same for reinstallation. The hoodliner took at least 6 hours when added up; maybe longer. Not to mention hunting down the various paints that needed to be used.

Well worth it - my favorite projects are the ones I do myself!

 

Spring is over, over here - hitting 80's now! Gotta start putting the sunscreen back on when driving with the top down. Now if we could only get the snowbirds to go back home!

 

Thanks - funny you should say that; I was originally going to get the two tone black / red leather boots, but I thought it would be over the top. That's why I went with just red stitching; classy but not too much.

 

It all looks great and it's 100x's better because you did it yourself

 

Very nice!

Beautiful!!! Real classy. Love the way you coordinated everything. Nice interior, nice engine bay and nice hood liner.

Like your choice of next goodies. Then, you need to start modding the engine!

I will have my car back Friday with all of the engine mods done. Lunch next week to compare?

PS: Pipedreams (Ed) is making me a mini "Batmobile", down to the smallest detail (chromed pieces, calipers, mats, lettering).

 

That is really nice- looks great together.
I'll trade you weather- I had to shovel three inches yesterday, so it'll be awhile before spring gets underway here.

 

 

Nice job buddy! Who is the hottie in the pic?
-A

 

Recognize that one? Same chick sitting next to me in the RX-7 back in September of '91 when you told us about 'a landslide'; remember?

Any interest in joining my brother and I in Park City next week?

 

Nice.

 

Sweet! Looks great Craig

 

I concur

 

Good job

 

I really admire the fact that you took these mod's and exhaust job on yourself.....with the help of friends and family. To me that's what it's all about. Great job and nice pictures!
