Hi Ron,

Thanks. I try and spend as much time as I can with her, there's only a few more things I want to do and I'll be satisfied.

Right now I'm caught up in the Suspension as I want it to have a nice ride.

As far as the seats here is the link.

Free shipping too! :)
Their Customer Service is also really good. The driver seat stopped adjusting so I gave them a call. They had a whole other seat shipped same day, all I had to do was replaced them and UPS came and picked the old seat up a few days later.

And yes my GF has a mullet lol. She's very hairy. :)
 
Wow, your paint and interior both look amazing!

I take it that center console top is a custom piece you built?

Thank you, my paint is actually really rough but it does shine in certain places at the right angle.

The center console cupholder I purchased it from GBodyParts.Com
You can also buy it from BuickGN Com
 
WOW. came out great. looks badass with those seats and black interior.. Id like to get the black piping for under my hood too.. I cant stand the chrome look and its too hard to maintain.. good job keep it up.
 
Been doing a little work to the trunk. I am not 100% finished, but I am almost complete.

My trunk carpet was falling apart and there was that crumbled adhesive everywhere.

This picture shows the trunk after I removed the old carpet.

I started by using a wire wheel on my electric drill to knock off the paint and adhesive.
After several days after work I was able to remove all the old gunk and paint.
I then sanded the metal to get it ready for primer using 220 grit sand paper on an orbital sander.

This picture shows the trunk almost ready for paint.

I went ahead and laid one coat of Metal Primer on the trunk followed by 3 coats of Rustoleum Professional Metal Semi Gloss Paint.
This is what it came out looking like.

After the paint cured I moved on to putting carpet in the trunk.
I went to Lowes and bought carpet padding that way the carpet would be smooth and it would hide the ribs of the trunk. I used the old carpet as a cutting guide. I made sure to cut a little extra on the right side to cover up the spare tire hole.

The carpet padding.

When I was at Lowes, I also picked up 2' x 8' x 1/8" Project board. It's kind of like MDF but cheaper.
I used this to cut the panel that goes up against the rear seat and that will go on the sides. It was also used to cover up the spare tire hole.

Here is the project board.

I purchased 6 yards of black felt from Wally World. It was pretty cheap and it has some stretch to it. I used the carpet padding as a cutting guide and cut a bit more to wrap it around the carpet padding.
I did the same for the panel that goes up against the rear seat. I cut the wheel wells separate.
I used Loctite High Performance Spray Adhesive that I picked up at Lowes as well to tack everything down.

This is how much I have completed. I still need to cut the side panels and wrap them in felt, and iron out any wrinkles to smooth the felt out.

As soon as I finish I'll post up some new pictures.
