    Its home...


    and I already got it up in the air to get this DONE!



    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.

    Damn, that was back in 2006 when I was working on my orange Mustang. That sucked big time.

    Made some more progress the past couple days.

    Finished painting the trunk area


    Got some cardboard from the recycling bin


    Made a template for the spare tire well cover


    Got a Black cover from LMR


    After some trimming, I got it where I need it. Ill place this ontop of some ACC Saddle Auto carpet and cut around it.



    I realized that poster board is easier to work with.


    Took some rough measurements and made an outline


    First attempt, not to bad


    Added some material and some more cuts


    and got it close enough


    So I then placed it on some cardboard


    BAM!


    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!

    Yeah. It doesnt have to be pretty and I think it will look alright. Worse case. I saved the template and bought extra material if I need to put it on hardboard.

    I would think the cardboard would be stiff enough.

    Since there is no fuel cell in the trunk, it doesnt have to be sealed off. So hopefully the cardboard works.

    I dont think I can bend that around the roll bar.

    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.







    Im not happy with my color selection, so Ill head to Lowes today and hopefully find a better color.
