Even slicing my finger with a razor blade, I still managed to get some brake lines run and the battery cable routed. Once I get all the underneath stuff finished, I can then concentrate on getting the wiring finished up. I dont think I can remember being so happy to shed blood yet continue on to get a project running. :D
That had to hurt! Sounds like your dedicated to finishing!
Craig, remember when u posted that pic of gashing your leg with that angle grinder?
More progress...

Beautiful work Craig. I envy your talent and patience. I would have lost interest by now and sold it. LOL!
Made some more progress the past couple days.
Finished painting the trunk area

I realized that poster board is easier to work with.

Took some rough measurements and made an outline
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7839/...6b697fc6_b.jpg
First attempt, not to bad
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7900/...d2a79b41_b.jpg
Added some material and some more cuts
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7916/...9a0e841a_b.jpg
and got it close enough
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7918/...b9dbc61d_b.jpg
So I then placed it on some cardboard
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7832/...442e1d2c_b.jpg
BAM!
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7830/...e7deec29_b.jpg
Now all I have to do is get some 3M spray glue and wrap it, with the tan headliner material, (found at Joanns Fabrics) and install it!

Thanks for tuning in!
Nice work! You putting the fabric right onto the cardboard?
Nice work Craig!
I'd do Masonite over the cardboard tho
I didnt think this wouldve been as big of a deal as it was. But it sucked trying to contort my big ass around these bars to make sure that they got fully covered with paint.
