Looks sweet. Very professional looking. What kind of seats are those? Leather? Did the stock seats come in two-tone or are those custom. Looks nice either way. Keep up the good work.

thanks for the replys

i was hoping no one would diss it. about the door panel, its pretty easy to take off and put back on, there are 3 or 4 screws just by the handle and then two on the panel that have covers over them. the seats are actually seat covers i bought at autozone. later

Looks nice. I've been thinking about painting mine but I can't decide on a color. That silver looks good.

Did you sand the parts first to take out the texture or no?

Nice Pic

NO i didnt sand anything, I like the way it looks with the texture though. if you look on the dash piece where the guages are you can see that it does not have the texture and it looks good there too.

Normally I think painting dashes is stupid and ugly... but yours actually looks sweet. Nice job, I thought for sure the pics would belong on "riceboy.com" (or something like that) :-)
