Re: 1988 chevy resto project
Then go for it man. But if you can't find them, centercaps.net is the place to go. Considering they're only 22 a piece, if you REALLY need them and can't find them, it's a good place to look.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
Oh believe me I know the feeling. I haven't had a job in over a year and no matter how many apps I put in, no matter how many interviews, gets me nowhere.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
And once I have money I'm gonna take a trip to one of the local salvage yards and get me some new seats. I'm starting to hate the leather in my truck lol, I want cloth.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
Leather looks nice, but it sucks when it's hot. Because it burns like hell. And in the winter, shxt's freezing cold. So I'm looking for cloth to replace it.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
The wrap isn't on it yet, but you did what you said you were gonna do man. That's the kind of confidence to have; don't forget that. You said you were going with GM maroon, the whole truck is GM maroon. You said you wanted camo Z71 stickers, it has camo Z71 stickers. You've done a lot of work, and it's come a long way man. Give that some thought lol
