Looks really good. Did you sew it yourself? I may have to do the same. I just cleaned my interior spotless and its pretty much a mint interior with the exception of 1 dash crack, and crappy shifter boots.

Now if you only made the seats out of wood and red tanned leather to match the first pic...
...oooh... maybe drivers' and passengers' matching lazy-boy recliners?
with a lazy-susan in between to server tequila, rum, vodka and mixers...

I'm not sure if it's the picture or my mindset right now but I like the bright green. The threads are bright green right?

nice man,

the stock one in my 87 got ripped out couple days ago, and when i bough mine the guy gave me one that didnt fit, but it was black and came all the way up.
So i swapped it over from the other rail thing, looks good now.

looks good a bit to new looking though I think you need some mud on it to make it fit.

Pretty snazzy, Allan. I take your in a flourenscent green phase? Thank God it's not hot pink. I'd really have to give you fizzleschnit for that...lol.

You know what would really, really top it off, though? Paint the shift pattern and numbers on the shifter knobs the same color! Glow in the dark, even!!! We're talkin' bass ad....ya pimp!

For the last time, it was KAWASAKI GREEN! And it's not a phase either. It looks good.

And I swear to bob I think the old hag spiked my coffee with estrogen. I remember last time she did that.... "I just don't see why the neighborhood association can't leave me alone. If I want to park in the grass and pass out drunk in the bushes, thats MY business!"




Just wait till she wakes up.... It's all fun and games.... Pfft... My ass... I need some jumper cables... Are car doors metal...? Need some copper wire too...




Ohhhhhhhh 12ga blanks

Nice job. I would have chosen a different color thread but that's just personal preference.
