I'm just impressed you "get done". You just know what you need to do, and do it! Thumbs up for that.
Naww it has to be said Dave,.....What you've done to save the body panels, bumpers, seats, interior panels, seat/door upholstery, and the mirrors,.... is so far beyond a "build thread."You've actually created a new prefix category.......Restoration.Man! You know what though Mike? I want so bad to be at that point someday.
You know, when I decide I want to do "a" project on the car. Then i can focus all my attention and funds to that project. Even if it's a big one like a new drivetrain. Just one. Not an entire car.
I'm not getting worn out, but i really will appreciate when this is a driving project!
Though there is the fun learning side to each layer of this one. Though wiring is about to raise it's ugly head.
Thank you for your comment though.
That's awful nice of you Mikey.Naww it has to be said Dave,.....What you've done to save the body panels, bumpers, seats, interior panels, seat/door upholstery, and the mirrors,.... is so far beyond a "build thread."You've actually created a new prefix category.......Restoration.
Every build/progress thread on this site throws away the stuff you've saved. Those wooden door panels floored me. They look like they were stamped. Sewing zippers back on seat covers w/ a needle and thread,...experimenting w/ paint finishes to get the "dyed" finish to look as good as it does,...salvaging the rotted interior quarter trim, and coming up w/ an alternative surface coating to put texture back before finishing them, saving those seat bases, and restoring them to "I wanna sit on those" status....all of this stuff proves that w/ a little fore thought, and a lot of work,..a fox Mustang can be brought to "10" status for far less than anybody thought.
I built my door panels too,...but they don't look like that.
My hat is off to you....You do amazing work. Good job Dave
Not me, if I had a screwdriver without anyone knowing there was hell to pay. I could take sht apart, but then I would magically lose the screws! Which, btw, has me a little concerned about everything going back together on Robby.....Can we really get a new category ? A restoration category would be awesome !
Dave, you are the man. There are so many things I've thrown away over the years. If I could do what you've done I would've saved a lot of moolah...and at least 5 whole cars that have been in my possession.
You give us inspiration to do the impossible. You were probably a hell of a kid....we broke our toys, but you probably broke them, saved the pieces, and built better toys.

I think that's a good idea.Opinion Time!
I was thinking about painting where the chrome trim was the same grey as the outside trim. It will have the same half an eggshell sheen to it as everything else in the interior.
What do y'all think?
Sure. When I get to work I'll take one. Though you obviously will have to imagine the vinyl being black since I'll do the two toning at the same time as the black.Do you have a sample spray out card that color you can lay on the vinyl and shoot a pic?
