Re: New Interior

I admire all the work, money and effort you put into your ride man, in looks awsume! But on a critical note, although most of the work is really quality work, there is some areas of modifications that pull down the overall impression.

One mentioned fake braided lines, and I too noticed that. THat dont really make things look better imo, quite the contrary, it just makes the rest look cheap, although the rest really is quality work. So I say, get rid of that, either go stock rubber hoses, or get real braided lines. Those fakes dont cut it.

Also on the interior, how did you manage to get that good look overall, but then managed to get the headrests to look all crinkled and crappy? THe seats look otherwise very tight and nice, but the headrests really destroys the first impression.

I say, go with the Chip foose saying "Take out the ugly", and then given 98% of the rest is close to perfect, you will hacve a hell of a ride!

Overall thumbs up though, I like your ride!

I like being critical myself about your ride...
1st get rid of that LG4 (P.O.S.) 155hp , my mule can out run that garbage.
2nd invest a little money and discard that rear end 10 bolt. They are pure junk. Get a Strange or
Moser Rear End. Purge your car of all that **** and post a picture and I will give you a few more pointers... No PUN intended!

Re: New Interior

Yeah, your right of course. The plans for that is in the works, money is ready, and with a new job more is coming. I''m just on a hold on everything as I dont have a place to work on my car at the moment. So for now it's just the easy boltins.Interior mainly.

But btw, I have the non cat 180hp rollercammed version, which was only in -87 I believe. Lol

Heres my thread about it, no pics tho, sorry.
