Do you remember what you were charged for that seat cover? I am considering an LMC seat cover, but your seat looks even better. If the cost of the creation and install is around the price of an LMC cover + install then I'll go to an upholstery shop.

Your interior looks amazing. Great work!

WOW! That is a HUGE change. I guess I should have pushed to get mine back together, but that show is just too dang hot for me. I will think about you while relaxing in the water on Lake Travis. Assuming there is any water left...:)

Looks great! Nothing like sitting in a clean cab. That was one of the first things I did to my truck. The outside looked horrible(still does kinda) but the inside was nice and clean. Hey it's the only thing you see when driving it. Once again. looks real good!

about the door pulls :lol:

one time I told a guy they were commercial screen door handles! lol

about ten years ago when this was a daily driver, I got real tired, real fast, on replacing the straps... so i machined some out of aluminum plate where I work. Not a day goes by when i'm in the truck that some one doesnt ask me about those. maybe I should check into mass producing/ selling them...

what would you give for some door pulls that would last a lifetime?

as far as the cost of the upolstary...

I'll check the receipt to see if it's all broke out, but it was around $1,200 total (remember...leather)

and you never will... ;)


maybe one's hooked up to a Gear Vendors gear splitter...

maybe one's holding my tach in the correct location...

maybe one's my stealth nitrous switch...

maybe i use the column for cruising and the other for when I'm in "SuperHyperRace Mode"

maybe i'm just lazy... and figured why remove it, when i'm going to replace the whole column with an Ididit unit eventually


you'll just never know...
