Re: Tami's 51 build

Looks good Skip..On my 48, I had a V-butt windshield and they used clear silicone. I remember they taped the edges of the seam, filled it and wiped it and when they were done removed the tape. It left a clean line.

The black looks good though.

Re: Tami's 51 build

To do it right, the wiring can take for ever to complete. I'm glad I went with less electronic gizmos on this build. My 48 was dumb. From the power cowl vent to the door poppers that also rolled down the windows by remote.

Re: Tami's 51 build

Nice job on the custom headliner. I just did my firewall pad out of ABS and went through the same stuff you went through. I fought with mine because I used too small a heat gun (1300 watts). Your job was far trickier than mine as you were working overhead and you were forming compound curves.

Awesome work!

Ha ha...On all of my builds I always leave that for dead last for a few reasons.
1 - Its big money (in most cases)
2 - It is really important to the look of the vehicle.

Good luck
Marc

Did you forget to attach a picture of the wheel design or are you trying to keep us in suspense.
