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.

While waiting for Larry to come over to work on the foam on the rear seats, I removed the armrests and added two stiffeners to the backside. one stiffener is at the top where a person's arm would...
Gary, did you ever finish this car? Haven't seen an update in almost two years.
Thanks Paul. I know this is a personal taste thing and I'm trying to visualize how it looks before I do it. I'm fairly good at that but it's a scary thing to commit to something you'll have to live...
Trying to move forward with the interior now that the headliner is finished. With the padding that's going to be put on the front of the seat bases, and the large 3" overhang, I decided to take 1/2"...
Do you know the type of paint? Is it base/clear? Urethane or enamel? A couple days should be way plenty for urethane and it should sand easily. If he used acrylic enamel I don't know how long it...
Depends on the type of paint. Urethanes can be sanded and buffed within a day or so, some in a few hours. I can't believe anyone would still be using anything but urethane.
Sealer is not really needed depending on the type of primer and the condition of the primer prior to paint. The main purpose of sealer is to provide a uniform color surface for the paint. Most...
That looks like a nice paint job! I think the color is great, and will really set off the stainless trim. Keep us updated.
You're a pathetic little weenie Otis. What does a tank have to do with "Member project updates" on a tri5 site? At least when I post my off-topic stuff it's in chit chat or somewhere else...
