Great Job Red :2thumbs:

I was just wondering if you ever got the seat cover color issue resolved?  I couldn't tell from the pictures.

We still have the ones legendary sent us that we weren't happy with.  We'll eventually put those on ebay and try to recoup some of our money.  The seats in the pictures above were done at a local upholstery shop and they turned out beautiful.  They are really soft and the white is bright like what we were looking for.  Plus, we were able to add the black piping which adds a touch of class.

Cool steering wheel!  I don't remember ever seeing a white one.  :thumbsup:

Yes MP, 4 fans.  two inputs, two outputs.  We use 2x2 AC filters to trap particles.  you can adjust the fan speeds to get the right "bubble" inside.

A different center cap might be cool if possible-  we'll see what PD says if she wants something else.

Heres two more pics as of today-- wet sanding the sealer

It amazes me how different this color can look in different lighting.  Here's some pics Red took this afternoon.  This is with 3 coats of paint...no clear yet.  This is as she sits right now.
