Not complicated at all. Just used a prepsol to clean the inserts. Back of the vinyl has grids to make measuring easier. Cut to length and width. Removed the top 1 1/2 of the backer and attached all the way across the top. Then worked the vinyl from the larger area to the smaller area. Used a firm squeege to get air bubble out as you move along. Make sure the vinyl is tight against both sides of the raised perimeter detail and use a brand new razor blade to cut the vinyl off the top of the detail. Use the center of the razor blade and hold almost horizontally. I did each of the six perimeter sections one at a time. Making sure the vinyl was attached well and used 3-4 razor blades.

Damn fine work! I appoint you the new Cheyenne Superman - how much for a set of panel inserts?

simicrintz · 05-31-2019, 09:38 PM

Awesome work!!! Man-I really want a center console like that; bet they're rare as hens teeth, huh?

Not really. They are out there. Check your local K5 Facebook pages or marketplace. I had an extra one just sold to a member here.

Got some satin black on all the seat brackets and air cleaner assembly. Would have more pictures but had to pack up early because of another thunderstorm.

Where did you get the vinyl? Thanks

simicrintz · 06-03-2019, 10:02 PM

Thank you, SoCoC10! What type of dough should I expect to shell out (don't want to hijack the thread-can PM if preferred).

**SoCoC10** · 06-04-2019, 07:52 PM

Here's a screenshot of the vinyl I used. Took a month to get it.

simicrintz I PMed you

Did you remember to install those foam thingys between the cowl and upper fender?

**DeadheadNM** · 06-08-2019, 02:16 PM

Had a 71-72 GM accessory cruise master cruise control installed. See the button under the dash.

litebulblsc · 06-08-2019, 08:30 PM

Welded lower shock mounts on my 14BFF and finished cleaning and painting the rear frame while it's exposed

Sorry Dale I missed this. Not yet. Still at the shop getting a few other tweaks like an odometer swap, choke adjust, and slider windows: http://www.musclecarrestorations.com...Blazer-72-001/
