That was a sweet car.

Late 2002
Traded in the SI for an SUV & then another SUV due to my growing family (first child).

2004
Bought this 1998 Honda Prelude

My wife kept the SUV

With 2 kids and a wife (living in a small rental) I decided I needed to make more $.
So I began driving truck.
I drove Over The Road (aka Long Haul) for 6 years and racked up a million miles.
Bought this truck too. Freightliner FLD120 flat top 36" sleeper with a silver top Detroit 60 series and a Pittsburgh Power Tuner.

After being away from home so much- I had enough. Unfortunately so did my wife.

2008
Sold the Prelude & bought my 1997 Silverado on my birthday

Throughout all my vehicles my Silverado takes some serious punishment and doesn't even break a sweat.

Thanks Griff', it'll be a month or so 'til it'll be done.
Need to find some deadener & fabric to reupholster: Headliner, Overhead console & door panel inserts. Anybody know of a place (online) that I can get some threads for my interior? I'll be using dark gray suede.

So dark gray on the following: headliner, overhead console (fabric part, not whole thing), carpet, back wall, door panels, knee board, ash tray assembly, seats & dash.
Light gray on the following: door inserts, a/b pillars O.H. console plastic, dash Bezel/vents & flip-up lid (on middle seat).
