Deadbeats 1997 Centurion Conversion

Chrome is going to be the first choice, hopefully it looks good.

Painted the roof today, plan on painting the door jambs and rockers tomorrow. I blocked the front doors out and hope to block the back ones tomorrow as well. It would be nice to get my painting done and have all the doors reprimed.

Door jambs and top painted, just gotta get that 1 door blocked out and the fenders and hood ready, getting close now.

I was just looking at the console wondering what held the rear cupholder shut and realized I had lost a part between pulling it and getting it home. A small piece made of sheet metal to hold pressure on it to keep it shut, anyone have one I can buy?

Still need this piece? I have one.

Thanks, I got the piece a while back.

Well, no new pictures, keep forgetting to take them. I put the doors in the final(hopefully) coat of primer and cleaned up my inner fenders and primed them last night, I will top coat when I get in today. I painted the firewall black with rattle cans (looks better than white) and seam sealed the interior around the rockers. I'm gonna try to trim in everything this weekend and paint it all next weekend.

Took my used fenders apart, flares off, and they are junk. I can't find new ones with the holes so I am checking junk yard to get good used ones before I buy new ones and drill the holes. I did that a long time ago on one, seems it was easiest to cut the old skin off and use it for a template on the new fender but still more work than I want to do if I can find clean fenders. Went to strip the hood I bought with the aircraft spray paint stripper, that stuff doesn't compare to the brush on aircraft, it didn't even remove all the clear.

I started putting interior back in, dumb me, if I had my headliner finished I could have put all the interior in but I still haven't taken it to be recovered yet. I put the inner fenders on and I am still blocking doors with 320/400 to get ready to paint. I bought a used set of fenders since my old ones were junk and I put one patch on one of them and painted the complete insides with my gun/hose setup. The hood is in primer and should block out ready to paint. I was hoping to paint it all this weekend but looks like it might be a couple days later than I thought, I was tired yesterday and just took my time working. It really did suck though, I was putting my interior back in and decided to try my radio and stuff out before I covered all the wires. The radio put out no sound and acted crazy. I found a couple places I had burned the speaker wires in half so I fixed them and it still acted crazy. After an hour of tracing wires and all I put a factory tape player in and it worked fine. Now I gotta check the radio straight to a battery, I have never had a speaker short out a radio but who knows.

i did my headliner myself. cost about 40.00 total. it's really not that hard.

I'd mess it up, there is a local guy who has done upholstery his whole life who usually charges me around 100 bucks.
