Looking good! its amazing people survived without cup holders.
I know ! when this ones done I will most likely drive it quite a bit in the summer an into the fall going to various shows an meets cup holders are a must have . the wrecker I built has none an its a pain in the azz on long drives .
after about 2 weeks of repairing annoyances on this buick i have finally begun painting ! almost all of the interior trim got black last night . an hopefully this weekend i will dye the headliner, seats , make some more trim peices for the doorpanels an begin to install all the upholstery . almost forgot an i dont know how ? going to repaint the top of that hideious metal flake dashboard !
dove head long into getting the interior started tonight gutted the car out , repainted that horrid metalflake dash ! green steering wheel no more an the rest of the gloss black trim work painted . tomorrow assemble what I can , I dye the seats , headliner ,sun visors , and anything else that I can think of that needs it .
IT was a long weekend as in lots of hours on the interior Saturday I did all the dye work an sunday I pulled most everything back together , an did some upholstery work on anything that didn't need to come back out of the car when the rugs get here .
