Been working on my interior a little, whatcha think?
It's slowly coming together. Got the new carpet in, including underlayment in the rear and that dynamat-like roofing foil under that.
then upholstery. new foams, houndstooth, and the best money I've spent yet...Seat Heaters!!! Then paint/plastic dye on the door panels, arm rests, and new seat backs. a few stereo components and I decided to remove the woodgrain from the doors. It just didn't make sense. Also removed the armrests from the rear seat (though I purchased and painted new ones, just in case.) The previous condition (for comparison...) And the new stuff... I'm also having PT's70CST rebuild my center console but it's not quite finished yet. You can see it all on my web album, http://picasaweb.google.com/ColinLSt...ey=sbHe4aqOklk I'm still waffling about purchasing new side panels or building my own, with some way to integrate the scroll pattern... (sorry about the pic size...) well, i don't know what's happening with the image links, so i just uploaded smaller versions...

Re: Been working on my interior a little, whatcha think?
when the radio was rebuilt, the new electronics allowed for an aux input. Mr. Tayman (www.taymanelectrical.com) mounted RCA inputs on the rear of the radio chassis, and that's where the ipod plugs in. it works in regular radio mode until it senses a signal through aux, at which point it switches to the ipod. it switches back to radio after 10 secs of no signal through aux. pretty basic, i think... but that's why i think it works so well. basic. see below
and the back of the radio looks like this:

Re: Been working on my interior a little, whatcha think?
hmm... not sure how to get them to work. they are posted on a blog hosted by google instead of being embedded in this page. maybe they are being blocked? you could also click the link at the end, it should show them...
thanks for looking

Re: Been working on my interior a little, whatcha think?
That looks great! My daughters would really dig it if I had a radio and it could hook up to their Ipods!

Re: Been working on my interior a little, whatcha think?
I'm glad to see you kept the speakers out of the side panels. I hate to see holes cut into them. Looks good, I wish my am/fm was built like yours.
