Hi guys been a while since I've been on here. The short story is I've been in a funk  The garage that I lease is up at the end of the year and I don't think I can afford to renew the lease. Then I have to figure out what to do with the cars. yuck. Translated, I haven't been doing as much on the car as I would like. Its also been birthday season in the family so thats my whine.

I haven't been devoid of progress though  I got the side glass in boy is that a pain. Not real happy with the XV power windows. pretty weak. I did finally get the glass to fit perfect. Its all tinted a medium gray and the stainless strip between the front and rear is black so it looks sharp like one piece of glass when up.
I have been working on the center console and the over head console. ( its a Gran coupe ) plan on keeping the one piece head liner and console. Covering it with suede. Got a lot more electrical bits done. power door locks, windows, puddle lights in the doors.
Sold a bunch of extra parts so I have started getting a few pieces of the entertainment system. ( down scale from the original plan but should still be nice ) Also thinking about getting a upholstery sewing machine. Hay I've done every thing else why not try upolstering it? 

Left the camera at the garage so no pics

heres a few pics. of the side glass. Put the door jamb end seals on. theres so many little things.  I used fiber glass and repaired / reinforced the headliner fiber board. Got it covered with suede. It was fairly easy. Covered  the sail panels and the overhead console. Maybe next weekend I can install the head liner!

The car is looking amazing, thanks for the update. Too bad about the lease situation, I guess the good news is its still only April and you have some time.

I knew you could do the headliner.  LOOKS great.

Can't wait to see it in the car next week. If you need some help let me know.

Looks like MY CAR will not be released from PAINT Prison until the 1st of May. Ran into some issues today (Sunday).

 the car is looking awsome really like the smooth headliner and console. I have been looking for a good shape challenger se headliner or someone that repops them for awhile but no luck.  What your plans for the rest of the Interior panels?

[Street_Challenged73]

Wow, that headliner looks great!!!   This is such a cool car on so many levels!

[conv340]

Got the headliner in by my self  wasn't sure that was a good idea but it went well and came out sweet. Smells like progress again. I went back and forth on weather or not to cover all the window trim with suede I had all the pieces redone and ready to go ( without covering them ) I put most of them in to hold the roof up and get a look. I think it looks good. We'll see. I think all the screws need to go black either way. The OHC came out better then I thought. The air ride is in the front. The buttons are for fog lights, halos, and trunk release. Did the LED thing to the dome. Had to redo the trim twice to get it right. Restored the mirror also. Still need to do the visors in suede. Need a upholstery sewing machine.

Looking GOOD.  I am glad you were able to complete the headliner by yourself. Sorry my schedule took me out as a helper.

nice man..you have some good touch..i think im going to steal alittle of your ideas in my car..i got a grand coupe myself and i was going to trash the over head but you showed me how to work it back into what im wanting to do...very nice,i might even try to do my headliner too...

[CUDA JAS]

I agree man..you have some great ideas.

I may have to look for a Gran Coupe headliner and overhead console for when I redo mine.
