Very nice work Brian. It's amazing how you're resurrecting these pieces without using pre-made patch panels. Good job and thanks for documenting and showing us how it's done.

Not quite "half million" I hope :eek:. I don't need to get any permits except electrical and septic so that saves a bunch. The slab is around $65-75K including forms, under-slab insulation, vapor...
Is that for me or Paul? I already posted mine above.....here again.

I kinda figured that if Kindig and all the other high end builders can use wood/MDF for their consoles and seats, I can too. :) Wood takes up a lot of space in a console, steel is heavy, so I built...
You've asked me a few times why I'm using some wood in my car. The only places I've used it is the cargo area floor to make it smooth and give something to attach carpet and additional structure to,...
We have in-floor hydronic heating in the Montana house, 8 zones and 38 loops. It froze three winters in a row when the owner stopped going there and paying his bills before foreclosure. They turned...
Here's a good video showing the MonoSlab EZForm installation.

I'm settling on the design of my new Montana shop. I've decided to make it 50x90 and I have room for that. It's divided into three sections, 36, 25, and 29 feet wide. I designed an upper level that...
Yes Paul, I've probably been too patient with Larry but he doesn't respond to pressure well. He called me yesterday and said he wasn't going to be able to sew up the dash until today. He's having...
Yeah, I've put up with a lot of shit from Larry. The problem is I've built most of this interior already and it needs to be finished in the materials I've already started with or started over from...
I just got back from a week at our place in south Texas and I took my stitch samples with me so I could think about what I want to do. I decided to try a lighter colored tan or beige thread that...
Got feedback from Ron and Gary and they both like this color scheme for the console. So I'm pretty sure this is what I'm going with. Still have some time to tweak it if I want to. I hope the...
I don't understand these interior guys. I went to Ron's to look at the new stitch sample on the tan leather. We agreed at the last visit that he would get some Chinese Rust thread in 210 thickness...
That's exactly what I plan to do. My point is that I didn't need the room for the tires, I just moved the wheelwells farther than I needed to. I have a plan for addressing it.
That's...
Thanks guys. Monday morning I'm heading down to Denver to talk to Ron and look at the stitch samples on both colors of leather. I wouldn't have to do this again if Larry would have taken a tan...
Working on colors. I printed out some pics I have in monochrome and used colored pencils to give me an idea what the upholstery will look like when done. I can visualize some of this but it helps...
Exactly. The arrow on the diode shows the direction that the current will freely travel. It won't travel in the other direction. It's like a "check valve".
Yes, it's backwards from conventional wiring procedures where 86 is positive. However, as long as the relay doesn't have a diode in the coil circuit between terminals 85 and 86 it will work fine. ...
I just realized that the T56 shifter is actually centered over the tailshaft. I now remember taking the Hurst Billet Plus T56 shifter and rotating the internal lever 180 degrees to put the...
Here's the whole console with the valence pieces in place before I made the latest changes. Notice the rear console is still only roughed out....that's why I'm waiting for Larry to bring the seat...
Thanks guys.
I really think with all the work I've done on this interior that I'd be way better off having Larry pay me what he owes me and get the interior done elsewhere. The shop doing my...
Hi Mick,
Good to hear. I wonder what the problem was before. I wonder if it wasn't correctly charged. Did you add oil to the compressor? When I bought it from S&P I was told the compressor...
I got back from Montana almost two weeks ago and texted Larry when I was driving home to let him know. I heard nothing in reply so I texted him again 4 days later and asked when he wanted to come...
Looking great Robert! That's one helluva nice paint job on the tailgate!
No, my battery is a drop-down stainless box behind the rear tire.
