Good work pics it's interesting to see the process.
I feel bad for the guys lungs in some of these pics inhaling fiber glass dust isn't very healthy.

Not to worry, 99% of the time the sanding or grinding pics are recreations (without the mask & goggles) because the flash on the camera will light up & show the dust in the air if I take pics when it's actually being done.

Wow! Incredible stitch work. You should've had Troyboy's interior stitched like that before it leaves the shop. Did you find the shop or did the customer? Locally? |

Are we looking at the same pictures? Because half those seams aren't even straight.

The owner of the car had the parts farmed out by a shop he personally approved of; thus if the owner is okay with the items in question.... why are you so overly concerned?

If he didn't want comments, he wouldn't be posting on a forum.
Yes, the seams go all over the place, from a distance that interior looks awesome, but the seams are bad and the edges around the HVAC and Radio need finished. Also the Fiero HVAC controller and mid 90s headunit ruin the look. With that interior its obvious he is trying really hard to look the part, I think they ought to look harder for a better HVAC controller and a vintage headunit.
If it were my car I'd put a mercedes becker mexico radio in it, cheap, easy to find, single DIN, they look the part, and work well. Hell I even have a couple spares from my w123 I might be willing to sell if it were something he'd want.

Vintage Air also makes some really nice HVAC controllers that I've seen in a lot of ferrari replicas.

But it isn't my car.

"Overly" is a poor choice of words. A single, one-sentence comment is hardly what I'd qualify as "overly concerned." I'd say I'm more concerned about your definition of "incredible."

A voyage beyond this point might become overly dangerous for you here.

It's not your car, why are you so overly concerned with defending it.

Ooooooo, is that a threat? Am I going to get voted off the island if I dare to disagree about the quality of the stitching on a kit car? I would hope the people here are better than that, but just in case, I've got plenty of green in my bar.

You know, you've both said what your opinion is of the interior parts. So be it, you're not the owner of this car & you're on the record as having given your opinion.
This thread has been going on for almost 2 years. The guy who owns this car is also a member on PFF, so the message has gotten thru to him. Why do you want to turn it into the kind of trash you see on RFT?
Both of you do a lot of hating on RFT about PFF & myself. It appears that it entertains you & keeps you off the street. So take it over there.
You've stated your opinion...... I know for a fact that you'll never be within 10 miles of this car & so you'll never have to worry about having your senses insulted by seeing the interior from any closer than that. You see this guy doesn't hang in the same crowds as you do, he's way out of your league.
From the start of this project, he's wanted to share this build with PFF members. Once you've given your opinion, why is it necessary for you guys to ruin the thread with your petty High School bickering?
Thanks
Archie
