Thanks B

No problem. I didn't know if you were here or not. Has any of the suede been started on yet? I want to see the finished product.

you and me both! It's in the works, just gonna be a while. I wanna swing by his shop and take a pic of the two colors to post up on here. Black and Dark Gray are what I went with. Dark gray for the pillars, headliner, and trim panel inserts, black on everything else.

Probly drinking... But seriously, if I'm not working on the CB, I'm trying to get my house projects done. I'm finishing my basement with two bedrooms, rec room, and bathroom, and I had my friend excavate my backyard so I could install a door in my basement wall that goes to the backyard. I had to build a retaining wall on each side so that took up most of my spring/early summer.

Nice work on the BB6 dash man!!

(kinda) I live in a rowhouse in Baltimore and I've renovated the entire thing, except for the basement. The problem I have is the ceiling height is too low. (like 6') How would you recommend I dig it out without disturbing the foundations of the adjoining homes? I was thinking to dig a 2' wide x3' deep trench along the perimeter walls. Then after the trench is dug I would build a wall, using concrete block, adjacent to the existing wall starting from the bottom of the trench. Once the mortar is cured I would continue to dig out the rest of the basement. Do you think this would work?

I installed the center console today. It fits great! Here are some pics of the console. I will probably take the car to work tomorrow if the weather is decent. I have the dash pretty much done and ready for upholstery. I'm gonna install it so I can finish mocking up the heater core and vents and stuff.

wow coming out cool, awsome work and good skills too

now you don't need to worry about cupholders being infront of your radio...lol

what did you use to paint over the chrome? or did you sand it down?

I soaked it in bleach to get the chrome off. It took a couple days. After that I sanded it down with 320 grit on a DA sander. The lock switch (not pictured) was just scuffed with a red scotchbrite pad, primed and painted satin black like the rest.
