I was thinking carpet :dunno:
The console bracket run doesn't get covered by the carpet.  :poopoke:

BTW nice looking and your progress is enviable.

Removing the warning labels one at a time.
Nature will take care of the rest.

Can't you guys tell that Alan is working hard to produce something that would exactly mimic what would come out of the factory?

Geesh!

Who's painting them Alan? Tony? That'd be a chance to grind Max a wee bit on the price! Yeah, right.  :cheers:

While I was at the body shop I picked up this 1971 440+6 SHAKER Cuda.....Looks like I might be busy for the next couple of weeks...

Looks very good Alan, what brand of paint does the body shop use on your restoration projects?

Wow, that looks pretty dang good for nason, I am assuming they use a better grade clear. I guess it really is true technique can trump product price.  Either way gorgeous results  :ylsuper:
:wavingflag:  Quit being offended by everything, I am sure you are doing something that upsets me, but I am not complaining about you!!! It is a free county get over yourself!

For different colours they may use different brands, I'm not sure. :dunno:

Everybody that has seen the cars that they have painted for me has absolutely love the quality for the price. :drool:

I've only ever had one guy complain and I think it's only because he was expecting a $30K show finish for $12K.... :-\

Logged another 28 hours this week....
Got 95% of the exterior done. Did the side glass with new AMD glass and started the interior....finish up the interior and adjust/latch the doors tomorrow likely.

I have to go check on the first sunroof Challenger, the body shop is already hard at work on it too !

Yea..pretty much...I lay awake a night planning my next day, so I can get the most work done. Not too often I walk out there scratching my head not knowing what to do next.....always have a daily plan. :drunk:

I wonder how much time I could have saved not doing things 2 and 3 times over.
