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.

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.

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.

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
