Went with gunmetal. I'm really happy with it. Turned out great.

I will be powdercoating my wheels, and several other things gunmetal also. Really like this color.

now i just need to redo mine

[BAMF TA]

Thanks dude.

You should paint yours gunmetal. I think it would go well with both tan and blue.

I got some on the panels painted today. Used a gloss black, and wish I had gone flat, but its staying, this is only temporary till I wrap everything in leather/vinyl. I just much prefer a solid black interior. So for the $40 buck in paint, its worth it.

I just put the panels in temporary, I still have to do some wiring before the carpet can go down, but I wanted to get some pictures up, because it shows the Gunmetal much better with the new black panels

The last picture, I turned off the halogen, so the light is much cooler, and looks better, show the color better.
BTW... I'm using duplicolor vinyl paint, gloss black.

Lookin good. Been wondering how hard it would be to wrap the interior in leather. Probably really expensive.

[BAMF TA]

Real leather, Yea, expensive... I called and some place in flint wanted $600 a hide, and it would probably take several hides...

Ill probably go with duratec from the new tahoes, looks nice. but thatll wait a few months.

Gunmetal caged LSWON's FTW!

Yea for sure! lol

Murrays, duplicolor gunmetal, (2 cans) and a can of clear.


I still need to wetsand or something... Its rough from overspray...

Ill be heading out tomorrow, and I gotta figure out what wiring I need to leave. Most of the stuff to the back is coming out, save for the fuel pump wiring.

Then the carpet will go down. Maybe run the battery to the back, and then start fitment of the panels.

sweet... i'll get that this weekend

sounds like your getting a little closer... when you plan on getting the engine? you sure you will be ready in May? a lot can get accomplished in 2 months

[BAMF TA]

Its not looking promising.

but im thinking about taking out a signature loan to finish it up.

I just want it on the road, and I dont feel like taking any shortcuts.

I dont like how the panels look, the gloss black looks tacky.

I really want to finish the interior the way I want.

Plus, I need money for my motor, and moser.

[Fbomb]

Interior can be taken care of later can't it? I know it'll drive you crazy but at least you'll be able to drive it if you get it running before it's looking perfect.
