I would love to use an oem style cover, but I dont have any 6x9 available so these will have to do for now.

Today day was icing on the cake from hell week at work. I came home hoping to wrap the end of the storage tray that was bad so it could cure overnight. After two failed attempts I got it 90% done only to run out of glue. I decided to call it a night and try again in the morning Grrrr

[N2TRUX]

Countdown to Throwdown! My shipment from @precisionreplacementparts arrived today. Those worn and tired vent windows I shipped in were rebuilt from top to bottom. Now they are better than new.
Chris and I got them installed this afternoon with fresh hardware and they look amazing. Tomorrow I will add the new belt line trim to replace the import pieces that were there.

Despite being distracted by service calls, it was a productive weekend. Saturday we focused on assembling and final fitting as we pieced the interior back together. We spent a lot of time searching for matching sets of screws and bolts once again, but we managed to find what we needed.

I finished the package tray once again and got the new end cap dyed. We prepped the seat belts and dyed the plastic as well. While that was curing we focused on the kick panels. I added a layer of Silent Coat before installing the panels.
We added a layer of Reflectix for additional thermal barrier on the headliner panel and set it in place. The freshly restored sun visors went in too. My dome light crumbled to small pieces so Chris came up with a late model light that we are going to use.

Chris had to wrap up a Christmas present project he had started so we double teamed the last of his custom built table.

A few more pics. We are going to try once more to get the carpet to fit better. Its going to have some gaps, but I think we can improve it somewhat.

Thanks. Chris designed and built it 100% I just helped with the finish work.

Last night my Relaxed Atmosphere brotherNelson came by and tinted my windows. The film that was on it was scratched and peeling. Chris and I removed the old tint and Nelson came and worked his magic.
I'm not a big fan of dark tint especially on a classic trucks so we went with 35%. It's a bit darker than I prefer but it matches the rear slider.
If you live near Spring or Cypress and need tint let me know. Nelson is a professional that's fast and reasonable priced.

Very nice work on the seat belts, kick panels, storage box and speaker setup. I love the attention to the little details!

Don't leave me hanging!

Tonight I finished a small task before working on my honey do list. Precision Replacement Parts sent my vent windows full assembled including the latch handles. Since I wanted the window tint to go under the latch handles I had to remove them. They aren't hard to reinstall if you have 3 hands, but I managed of get them done without destroying the new tint.

Note that the rubber seal has some minor kinks in it. I dont have a heat gun in my shop right now. Chris is bringing one from work and that issue will be resolved.

[N2TRUX]

As promised I have some exciting news that I have been sitting on till everything was confirmed.
As you know the debut of Scarlett will be at @lonestarthrowdown in February.

I have been honored by American Racing to be on display in their booth. She will be rolling on the latest in billet wheels by American Racing Custom shop.
Here are some of the options that we are considering.

[TKCR]

Well I like the ones that are on there now,lol. They are very similar to what I want for mine. Right now, I can't think of the name of the wheels, but here's a pic
Update, had to look up an old thread, they are Ridlers 645

I wondered about that. I know the last build you had them leave the latches off so you could tint first.

The VF506 is one of my favorite custom wheels they build. The red multi spoke might look alright though. The last of the 3 looks too 90s.

Are these a sponsored donation too?

[lolife99]

I really hope you choose the 5-spoke wheel.
Just my opinion.

they are made by coys wheels

The current wheels are just fine, but I had planned to make a change all along. I have considered dozens of styles, but American Racing asking me to be in their booth narrowed my choices down quickly.

Brain fart on my part, because I failed to specify that I wanted them left off. Its no big deal if you have a helper.

Keep in mind retro is coming back strong right now, hence the directional styles.

Its a valued opinion too.

[ultrahd4me]

Ken I'm with lolife too. Your truck still has that "classic look" and I really think a 5 spoke adds to that style. The others wheels have their place with more of a "pro touring" look or a truck without trim and mirrors. Just my opinion and either way your truck is killer.
