    Yeah I'm going to leave the Al for the most part.  Didn't want to see the Al through the grill at all.  Figure the less paint the better with the Rad ether way.  Plus the tranny cooler was black to begin with.

    I do like the top cap plate on the painted rad though.  I'll need to figure out a shroud eventually, but I want to wait until the engine is in to measure/verify clearances on everything. :2thumbs:

    Got all the brackets, Hose, and pulley on the PWR steering pump.

    Swapped the Carbon Fiber Console plate on, I also put the Chrome Bezel on the Shifter as well.  The Lense needs help to stay on.  I used some Clear silicone adhesive to hold it on.  you have to drill out the rivets on the original bezel, the new one screws on.

    Got the Rear quarter window seals in.

    Put new Glove box in too.

    Finished all underdash wiring, used tie wraps to hold everything up nice and tight.

    Did a quick clean.

    Hey DB, I'm 32 not 102.LOL  My eyes work pretty good. :crazy:

    It is just a decal.  I had thought of ordering the kit from Whiteguages.net but think for now I'll leace the guages alone.  I still have to swap the Door panel inserts as well.

    Looking mighty keen!  :thumbsup:

    In the last pic of the interior your shifter handle reminds me of a Rambo knife in your console!  :22yikes:  :grinyes:

    Wow, that's really coming together!  Got any more pictures of the trunk or your audio system?  From the 1 picture you posted, it looks like a really clean install.

    That carpet doesn’t look like factory loop was it a premolded kit? 

    Is that better  :smilielol:

    DB, You are a wiseguy.LOL  Yes it is a premolded kit from ACC.  I think the fit leaves plenty to be desired.

    hemiken, thanks I might go after the door panels soon, got to do the locks and mirror bezel too.

    Thanks Greg keep it up on yours.

    Travis, I have some older pics but if there is anything you'd like in particular let me know.  I made the box from some plywood and carpet from Walmart.  Cost 10 bucks in materials, I still need to put some poly fill in there to smooth it out.  I think I'm going to paint the trunk at a later date.  I was going to put some speakers in the 6x9 holes but left them out to allow the bass an easy pass through to the passenger compartment.  I may still do it and put a crossover on the subs.

    SB72, I never thought of Rambo.LOL

    Well, I finally put my lock pawls in.  Don't buy the YO lock kit as the door locks come with the wrong arm on the back.  Now I know why I put off doing them for so long. :villagers:  thanks to Moparal for the lock pawl.  My hands and forearms are scratched up. :smilielol:

    While I was in there I lubed everything up good and tossed the Carbon Fiber Inserts in as well. :bigshades:  The doors are officially done unless I get some nice hole free ones to replace them. :money:

    I got the beast in the air to look at putting in the Sub-frames.  Got it level all 4 ways, took a bit to do that.  I will have to modify the rear sway bar mounts(aftermarket) to get the rear mount to swallow the frame rail.  Shouldn't be too bad but will take some extra time. :2thumbs:
