You're right..I can't wait to make that first shake-down run. To the glass shop! But a run regardless...

After painting the column, I knew the factory wheel just wasn't going to pop. I set out to find an alternate for the oem I had, but the prices and styles weren't what I was looking for.
My body guy is more custom, and recommended painting the wheel parchment. I was leery at first, but went with it.

It turned out great, and he assures me it'll be very durable.

I had purchased a black horn button with a correct blue bowtie. Getting the bowtie out of it ruined the cap.

It went in well. A little glue and we're good to go.
He striped the base to add a little character.

Got the other kickpanel installed with the Alpine speaker. I thought I'd put them in last after the carpet, but it didn't make a difference.

A sea of black carpet. We're almost done! Routed the wiring and things are really shaping up.
