Hey Jason, few sneak peeks below... The trim shop has carpet on the floor, the kick panels and the rear cab corners. Looking great so far. They also got the headliner and the plastic chrome trim in place as well as removed the headrest hardware and patched the panel where it went. I think they're about ready to move onto the console and subwoofer box. I finished machining the top plate that surrounds the floor shift and e-level controller. They'll recess it into the surrounding material. It will get anodized black at the same time I have the radiator cover done in clear.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
The glass guys showed up and installed the windshield and rear glass. Looks nice and knowing these installers, won't leak. Not sure I could say the same if I tried to do it myself.
![]() The one piece side windows were giving me serious heartburn. Could only get one roller to go into the track. Once it was there, there was no position that would allow the second roller to fit in. I called Brothers Truck and they sent me to SPW, but once they found out I was using the manual regulator, they said they weren't knowledgeable about it. So I called BT back and they said they'd have Jamie, the guy in their video, call me but he never did. However, the guy at SPW said something that got me to thinking. Their setup is two piece and the lift mechanism bolts to the sash/track once it's in the door. So I looked at the situation and decided to cut one of the arms and use a plate to reattach it when the window was in and the rollers were in place. Worked like the proverbial charm.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
I'm not sure I could find a glass guy that would have tackled my oddball setup, Dan. Most of them only want to do the stock, OEM work. And after what I ran into, I don't blame them.

Really like the way the seats came out. Glad you got the glass in, always a briggle.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thx, Chip. Big sigh of relief now that glass is all in... front, back and sides. I was starting to think all the trim work would be done by middle of next week, but he ran into a material shortage, so not sure how that will impact the schedule. The sides of the sub box and console are a carbon fiber like material and have a "direction". Naturally, the piece we started with isn't quite long enough. They'll have to set the console aside and work on door panels, I reckon. Some more "in progress" shots below.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
CRLS is back from upholstery! Posted a video on You Tube which is probably a little better than a few still shots. Lot of work left to finalize the fit and finish, but it's a really good start. Only things left at the trim shop are the floor mats which should be done first of next week.
Now where's that punch list??? ![]()

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks for all the good words, guys! I've got the interior partly back together after disassembling it when CRLS arrived back home Friday. The big news is that the stereo and all the speakers work. I knew the head unit lit up, but never heard any noise out of the system until today. Sub, mids and tweets all amp'd up and sounding great. I could be that guy you hate to pull up next to at the stop lite going whoomp, shakalaka, whoomp... vibrating the windows in all the surrounding vehicles.
Headed out to Hy-Vee tomorrow to pick up 10 gallons of premium to prime and test the fuel system. I still have to paint the intake tube, then install it, the MAF sensor and air filter. but it's getting down to where the only thing between me and starting the engine is fear and thin air (and a few other items on the punch list). ![]()

They should be around the second week of September, Dan. Haven't heard the exact dates yet. The interior is all back together after installing the speakers, seat belts and steering wheel. Waiting on a call from the anodizer for it to be 100% done. Horn button decided not to work, so I had to disassemble it and give it a tune up. Should make it thru the safety inspection but after that I don't care. Can't remember the last time I honked the horn. I always figure if you have time to reach for the horn, you have time to avoid the situation. Also got the Lukas HD camera, rearview mirror and VOD microphone installed. Gas is in the tank, but still haven't tested the line and pressure... maybe tomorrow. ![]()

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
BTW, John Sanborn, if you're lurking... thanks again for that nifty windshield wiper arm tool. Used it today and it worked great. Probably the first time I've ever installed them without dinging the paint on the cowl.
