Burnt burb resurrection (It's mine again!)

Overview Gallery Discussion
why thank you adam:thumb: it came out almost exactly as I had pictured in my head:woot: I have some accent lights to add and a duct to make for the amp fans then the main upper console is will be done. the lower portion with the amp on it is gonna be a bit cause I have to lay all the wires in and finish mounting it to the floor more solid.
 
I would have made the top wooden piece hang over the cup holders, and cut holes in it. The plastic up holders look out of place.

I was looking at ways to do that. but I like the adjustability of the ones I got. in order to get large fast food cups in the hole has to be big around. then 20oz's flop all over and cans slide around:dunno: they look better cleaned up and in person. they've been thrown around the porch/work shop for a while and multi megapixles show EVERYTHING:doah:
 
that looks great Rick...nicely done man!

Hey looks like those seats are wearing well with that cloth...those are the conversion seats not factory velour right?
 
I dunno:dunno: I figured factory. they only have one real small spot bad but they'll be destroyed in short order. once a rip starts yer screwed. they also have a neat ganster lean to the foam. this one WAS the driver seat. I swapped side to side so they should wear for a while yet.

1) Did the burbs/blazers come with arm rests on the seats?
2) I was thinking the fabric was only avail in velour/vinyl, not a cloth as you have. I was thinking those seats (at least the fabric) was from the conversion?

I think for my CC I want cloth, not vinyl or leather, but I'm not a big fan of the velour look either.
 
they feel like velour, not sure about the conversion thing ??? I cant stand vinyl seats. I deffinately want material of some kind. I'm going to ask the upolstery shop here in town what it would cost with a few diff material choices and see:dunno: I may do one seat at a time or something
 
That looks like a stock seat to me.

Not sure about the armrests though. My '89 K5 didn't have them and it was a Silverado.
 
Those are stock seats. Suburbans got arm rests, Blazers did not.

Didn't know that.

And....sucks for you blazer guys :haha:

I took my worn stock arm rest apart, added some wakeboard binding footbed foam, and now they are all cushy again :D
 
Mine in my 1989 GMC Suburban are way too low to be of any use, padded or not.

I tried to get mine apart to add foam......:dunno: no zipper or nothing:confused: i cant figure out how they go on and off????
 
i pulled the material out near the arm rest and it looks like theres a bolt in there that mounts it. I'm gonna see it it comes off... we'll see:dunno:

They are essentially hooked over the end. Picture a sock from teh front, wiht a long plastic hook thing on the back.

Start pulling apart from the very back, nearest the seat. It just unhooks and then you can slide it off hte front :thumb:

I'm far from an interiors expert, and figured it out pretty quick . good luck!

I also Rick, I found that riding in a vinyl/leather seat for thousands of miles will result in swampass....suppose I could try some Monkey butt powder, but didn't want Kert to catch me powdering my ass.:haha:

The ones in my 99 are too narrow for me to have any use for them....as my girth is beyond the engineers design parameters for using them evidently.

I've been contemplating a newer style seat swap:thinking: Not sure if any of them would look right in there though:dunno:

As for the console. I got the base plate mounted permanently. Got some of my wires run and finished. And have Come up with a slight change in the design by the dash. More on that to come
