Driving around like this is kind of odd, but in the long run it'll be worth it, Ill have more pictures tomorrow night when everything sets off. But since a bunch of you wanted pictures here ya go.



Oh and I cleaned the adhesive off the valve cover, just waited for the engine to cool and used some goo-gone. I know, the car is filthy, it rained up here today [:@] And I removed the TIP sensor vac lines hee hee hee

 

What are you doing to your interior? That valve cover is hot! Even though pink isn't my color.....still looks pimp.

 

Well, I was gonna keep it secret until it was all done, but I guess I can't go without a little explaining.

Most people paint their A/B/C pillars black, which IMO looks absolutely retarded. So that S5DV thing thats on the inside of your driver's door? Yeah thats the code for your interior and exterior trim pieces if they ever were in need of repainting. My dash will match my pillars 100%.

The HVAC piece thats silver, is going to be pink, and so is the piece that sits underneath the steering wheel. A FEW touches of pink, not enough to overwhelm someone looking into the car, I dont want it to look like **** and come off as overdone.

The headliner, I started painting it black, but Im not feeling the way the paint is looking so far. Im going to try paint for the exterior of the car, if that doesn't work I'll be fiberglassing some stuff That is all to be determined tomorrow.

 

Sweet!!! DID you powdercoat the cover or paint? Looks sweet...but I hope the paint is hi-temp if it is paint.

 

Its powdercoated by Glacial Graphics.....

 

Looks f-cking tight Crystal!



Get more pics.

 

what kind of paint are you using for the hvac? i am doing mine and i need to know what works best.

 

Updated picture, the headliner is done. Its just up there temporarily until everything else is fixed. The retainers for the Oh-**** handles aren't in yet so the headliner has to be dropped to put those back in, the visors, passenger B pillar and both C-pillars arent in yet. The other parts that are in, are just there to help hold up the headliner until I get everything squared away.



Jac05SRT, best thing to do is this.
Scuff it with a red scuff pad
Remove the HVAC overlay
Clean it with a Wax/Tar/Grease Remover
Paint it with exterior paint, to assure a perfect match
Clear it

Thats your absolute best bet, because otherwise spray paint wont adhere properly and the finish is usually tacky.

Hopefully by this weekend I'll have the rest of it done. And Ill have more pix

 

Oooh.. I cannot wait to see Lucius finished.. gonna look f-cking killer.

(IMO silver/blue chameo would look better, but hey, I'm not a chick) [8D]

 

All the pieces that are tan, WONT be when Im finished. The pillars will match the dash, the rest I'm unsure of as of yet. It took fkn 4 cans of paint to get that headliner covered perfectly.
