Burnt burb resurrection (It's mine again!)

[shady]

I've driven past hobby lobby (only fabric store left near here) about 20 times since this project started and not once have I even stopped. look at it every time and tell the girly we need to stop..... but never do

I gotta figure out what to do for vents to keep the hot air from pointing right at my leg Gonna have to be creative there

Get some cheap vents off eBay for a dash

[shady]

thanks adam. I like a few of those and theyre the right size I think. just short cutted the page

 

[Deuling]

Some of. emare even bling blingy!!!

 

[shady]

got some material for the console....... color loks right when seen as a whole. but close up comparison color is just enough off to be odd the little pic came out smaller than I thought

 

[Deuling]

Did you actually bring something in to match? Or just guessed?

 

[shady]

guessed It was only 6 bucks so I dont mind much. but the fabric store is 45 min away so getting a different one will be awhile there was one that would have looked better i think. but didnt seem right in store. I may take an armrest cover off to check it against

looks good Rick, nail it!

 

[shady]

im gonna get one more yard of a different color them choose between them. I gotta get something to do my headliner too I let my kid drive it and his friends and him didnt know you CANT touch the headliner its coming down above both front doors now

 

[76zimmer]

Rick what about a contrasting color, say something to match the dash?

 

[shady]

I'm looking at that option now dave I took my carpet dash pad in to do a color comparison. I now have 4 different colors to choose from I'm gonna do final selection and cover it tomorrow. I also got a few pieces of aspen for the top today and some stain to see if I can come close to matching the dash Not looking forward to that process I may just stain the center the way I want and have a buddy of mine remake the wood stuff already in it in aspen to match. we'll see how it goes for now

 

[shady]

I did one side today looks good. But then I realized that i forgot to reverse my pattern and cut both pieces of materialthe same

Now I have to go get MORE vinyl luckily they have plenty more there

 

[76zimmer]

Rick how are you attaching it to the floor?

 

[Slapperbar]

Superglue.

 

[shady]

I have the black board on the floor that I fastend down first. it'll be fastened to that.

 

[shady]

Im puting screws through the back into the base board and in the front in the circled area. I'll put 1x1 blocks where the red is to take the weight of any one leaning on it and stiffen it side to side a little,

edit ... oops forgot to add the pic

 

[Deuling]

yup, it was definately not blue in the pic you sent me haha.

I can see it now

 

[shady]

more progress

How tall is the lid going to be? My main complaint about the factory console and the OEM seat arm rests is that they are way too low to be of any use. I love my "Conversion" console in my 1988 V10 Suburban.
