Now quit fooling around in Vegas and get back to work..... Hope you had a great day and Santa brought you lot's of Fiberglass supplies. Pat Hey P, Merry Christmas, buddy! I'm BACK! I flew in late yesterday afternoon and I am ready to get back to it! I've got my mental list of ideas and I am ready! However... There are going to be a few changes. I am abandoning the armrest idea for the first console. I still want to finish this console, get it all sanded, primed and painted and everything installed so I can stand back, admire it for 10 seconds - oooooo, ahhhhhh, and then move forward to Console Part II and the door panels. I'm going to try to remove the cup holder from the armrest so I can place it in the new console - that's going to be tough. I love the first console but with as much I've learned over the last few months, I know I can do better, be much more efficient about it and have everything finally come together. I may even sell the first console? They only funny thing... I have to recut the hole that I just filled for the 12v outlet. Also, I have a complete dash, radio bezel and shifter plate coming. Do the math... he he he katatak DEC 29, 11:58 AM I feel your pain brother. Everytime I get close, I change something. I am on track to "finish" what I started but already have new plans. I can't wait to see what you do with the door panels - I may be inspired to tackle that too! And now you are flirting with a dash....I hate you! My future plan is a complete interior redo for the XTC. I spent the last 3 days working on it and have come to the realization that it needs your "concept" interior. I'm not sure if you have looked at this build thread but it is pretty inspiring too! Check it out if you have not already. http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum3/HTML/000081.html Here we go! Happy New Year! Pat Sofa King DEC 31, 12:47 PM I know I know... again... I've been slacking and I'm sorry. Some personal things have come up that I have had to take of. Things should be balanced out in the next few weeks but I should be able to get out to the garage this weekend. Happy New Year!

The attention to the details is not only boggeling but also very inspiring - the side window frames for example. It's the type of build where you want to tell the guy to hurry up so we can see it finished. I think the XTC needs an interior to compliment the exterior lines of the car. I'm glad you like the design I did. Just let me know if you need any thing at all. revin JAN 04, 11:42 AM Are you ladies done with your holidays YET?!?!?!? Come on.........get to work!! (like I have been doing ) I did not notice how either one of ya'll are going to secure the console down? I was thinking about a countersunk hole on the sides and then getting some covers( like on the lower door trim, by the carpet. not sold on that idea just yet but the only thing I came up with so far... I have ordered led strips for several cool projects!! heh heh Still looking for that "just right " steering wheel. katatak JAN 04, 08:40 PM Hey Revin, For me, I am using the original skeleton and the AC surround mounts the same. The rear console mounts to the skeleton in front stock and I am building a bracket for the firewall to olt the back too. The shifter cover will fasten to the AC surround and the rear console through the sides with 10X24 screws, well nuts and "snap caps" - black plastic caps that sanp over the screw to cover it. Look likes a little black button. I think Greg is using some big finish nails.....lol j/k.... Pat revin JAN 05, 03:13 PM ok thanks! I bet Greg will try to make fiberglass screws for his Sofa King JAN 06, 08:18 AM quote Originally posted by katatak: I think Greg is using some big finish nails.....lol j/k.... Pat LOL! Is that wrong? Because I bought a really big hammer and those HUGE driving spikes and rebar... Sorry for no updates guys. These past few weeks have been pretty horrible. My fiance and I called it quits after 4 years. Without going into any gory details the last week or so has been spent dividing everything up and helping her and her two kids moved into a new home. To say the least, it's been very stressful. Not a great way to start the new year... oh well... Also, it's been REALLY COLD and I don't have a heater big enough to warm the garage. I can't paint and the resin is really thick because of the cold... It was 15 when I went out to the car this morning with a high of ohhhh.... 20? But not to worry. I'll get back out there! revin JAN 06, 10:38 AM sorry to hear the bad news Yeah take care of YOUR life right now. Don't worry, Pat and I will keep this out of the archives ok real quick.... PLEASE don't give her half of the console!!!!! either one!!! sorry may not be a good time for a joke......
