then we transferized the template to the cardboard and jig sawed it out, but not after we ranned to ACE Hardware first cause we were all out of saw blades (the 1st World Problems were in full effect that day)

Thanks bud, the trim came in so I wrangled that on

**Gregski** · 05-26-2021, 10:28 AM

then I went shopping for the carpet material covering favrick ... in my garage

I recalled when I bought my 5.3L LS engine it came with a roll of black carpet I still don't know why or how I got it but it's all we had so we will give it a shot

**Gregski** · 05-26-2021, 10:31 AM

we cut the carpet slightly larger than the hardboard and glueinated them together

here we show you the C clamp we used to hold them together with, over night till the glue dried

**Gregski** · 05-26-2021, 07:34 PM

after the glue dried over night we trimmed the edges and punched some holes with the electric hole punch

**Gregski** · 05-26-2021, 07:36 PM

then it was time to get a handle on things, the junk yard door pulls were too long at 9 1/2" inches and had to be shortened to 6"

**Gregski** · 05-26-2021, 07:38 PM

we are still waiting on the border trim thingie, but we just had to try her on for size

6DoF · 05-27-2021, 08:45 AM

to be honest with you I don't have a clue, but now that you said it I may try my down as well, ha ha

**Gregski** · 05-27-2021, 10:30 AM

well, good enuff for gevermint work

I may have gently hammered out all the wavy bits with a rubber mallet after I took these pics

**8man** · 05-27-2021, 10:43 AM

Those turned out nice.

thanks, fun fact... 10 feet of that black liquorice is only enough for one panel, but it's only $16 pesos

**8man** · 05-27-2021, 10:52 AM

Yeah, but you can't use it in the crib. Also, where is the Califlower cancer warning label?

**Gregski** · 05-27-2021, 08:27 PM

dsraven · 05-27-2021, 09:52 PM

**Steeveedee** · 05-27-2021, 10:27 PM

had a tough go with my other truck today so had to do something fun on this one

don't just look at it, Look at it, and tell me it aint sick !

everybody digs spikes, and for the record the holes were already there

might just rename her Spike, how many of you recall those awesome cartoons unlike the modern 30 minute toy commercials?

well, i mean, if the holes were already there.

solid attitude adjustment for the truck! could probably use one more lower and one more higher on the seam. and those cartoons were(ARE) the best!

**Gregski** · 05-30-2021, 11:20 AM

went fishing yesterday and caught two 24 inchers, Gray Vinyl Bass, they may be a bit too big to keep, but I wasn't gonna catch and release if you know what I mean

with a little elbow grease and eye brow sweat they should clean up real nice

Fun Fact: even vehicales with black interiors still have light gray or baige headliners and therefor visors, sucks

**8man** · 05-30-2021, 11:35 AM

Sounds like a fish story.
Where is the vanity mirror, I thought everyone needed one "out there".
