Thanks! We are really excited for her. She got based at LaGuardia because she wants to fly internationally. As far as the uniform, it's been almost 10 years since I had it on. Was really surprised it fit as well as it did, :lol:.

I have the passenger side speaker installed. What a pain! Stretching the carpet was a JOB!!! Will work on the driver side this evening.

Looks good! How did you get the carpet into that form? Is it two pieces?

Front speakers look good. Which kick panels are those and what else did you have to do to them?

It's one piece. A lot of pulling and stretching (along with a little heat, :D)...

They are from RetroSound. Didn't do much to them other than a little trimming and adding a 1" spacer (I used deep speakers).

Drivers side is done. Just need to do some tidying up and put everything back together.

Those kick panels came out really nice. What kind of adhesive did you use?

Thanks, 3M carpet/headliner adhesive - picked it up at the local parts store.

All the sound system install is taken care of. I am currently working on putting everything back together. This has taken longer than it should have because I've taken the time to clean up some of the wiring that I had previously done in a not so clean manner, :lol:. I also installed an electric trailer brake controller and test fitted my hidden hitch receiver, :metal:.

I go the all the stereo installed and interior back together, so I decided to take the Burb out for a ride and snapped some pictures.

For an Aviator you sure built one hell of a fine ground-pounder!
Outstanding!

Great looking Burb.

What bracket did you use for the middle buckets? I tried to find a good picture but no joy.

Thanks.

Sorry for the bounce back - but I have a quick question on something you posted in another thread regarding the ceiling bows.
"UPDATE: I have all my panels cut and installed. The fit is good and the satin white is similar to the factory original. I have been trying to find some nice plastic headliner bows, but that is starting to seem like an impossible task. So I got in contact with a company about manufacturing some new ones. I sent them a couple of pieces to use as samples. I think this will probably happen. They won't be chrome like the originals, but they will be paintable. In the meantime, I took the 3 nicest bows that I have and color matched them to the headliner material. This will have to do for right now."

Did you ever get those custom made bows?
