Cool my latest accomplishment!

here's my creative productivity through boredom! LOL. It's not suede like I wanted, but I want to do my whole intereior in the cheap, replica Alova and micro suede, then in a few years, the last thing Ill do to it is ripp it all back out and then spend about $85 bucks for aproxamately 2 yards. Right now my blue fabric is 6 a yard and the silver (none in yet) is 12 a yard.

That's what I figured. That you were going for the sleeper look. I knew what you were up to though, I'm sharp like that. I heard caffine does wonders for your engine too, not only does free sticking valves, unclog injectors, but it also adds quite a bit of horsepower.

You gotta watch out though, that caffiene stuff can get you in a lot of trouble, possible detonation if you run it with 87. alright i'll shut up now, I've had a little to much of it myself.

Hey Juggalo, that is verry nice work! I like how you did the blue velvet on the console lid, and cut out for the remote for the stereo! Verry slick man, you are an artist like me. Keep up the good work. And even though I am not a fan of the 2 + 2's. If it makes you happy, and that is what you like, then that is all that matters. Like I always say, "Different strokes for different folks! But I prefer the 2-seater all the way!

The bracket to hold the headlight? Yes. right now rusted wire is holding it in place. ouch! Fenders would help alot too, if anyone lives near a junk yard, could you check some prices for me? Here is the begining shot of my headliner, did this last night. It's the same blue as the console, and a very light grey.

Dude, That car needs some serious chemotherapy. The evil rust monster was not kind to that one. Just make sure that you get rid of all the rust and neutralize it before you paint, or it will come back. Like what you've done so far.

I parked mine under a little old toyota pickup, lifted the truck right off the ground. I had to back my car out from under it, and as soon as his wheels hit the ground he took off! The (use your imagination) slammed on his brakes at a yellow light in the rain and I only got three brakes. All it did to my car was bend the front lip of the hood a little and push the front of the headlight bucket down under the bumper. Both are easy fixes if I ever get around to it.

Lifted the S10 right up too, don't you love our little wedges the rear bumber of the truck stoped about two inches before it hit the valve cover! Mom also backed out from under it, but the worst part was that I was in the S10, with my mom's at the time boyfriend. This was also a slamming on the brakes incident, but the reason for the accident is he took his foot off the brakes like he was gonna go, and didn't! What a __________ ! (fill in the blank)

Hey Juggalo don't feel bad. I parked my '81 under a '79 Diplomat station wagon. It looked like she was going through the yellow. And then all of a sudden she locked her brakes. And I went under her rear bumper. Man I was pissed off! And that is why right now I am Z-less! That is why I am trying to get my '82 on the road. He has a much better body, except for a few dings here and there. At least you can drive yours everyday. I can't quite yet. I mean I could drive my '81, but he has so much damage to the front. It looks like he came from the junkyard! Plus the front-end needs rebuilding. (bushings, and idler arm) He will wear out tires in the front because I can't get him aligned. Anyway sorry for the long post. Just rambling as usual!
