My 88 Formula Interior Redesign (Page 41/87)
Sofa King FEB 03, 11:40 PM
UPDATES!!!!

The lid is installed BUT!!!!!!!! Before I get into the BUT. I laid the new foam onto the armrest and the inside of the console.

Armrest




This angle show the difficulty I'm going to have getting hands into the little area


Laying the foam into the console was NOT easy. You have to spray both sides (foam and the console) in order to get proper adhesion. MAN... phhhhhttttt... It was not fun...


I would have thought this would be an easy cut - NOPE. I laid a little bit of foam here to protect the console from the shifter plate


OK... Here's the "BUT". I'm very disapointed with myself. I measured the bolts that go into the hinge wrong. When I tightened the bolts to the console they pushed through the other side... UGHHHH. I'm not going to fix it now becuase I want to enjoy having center console again. But... DANG IT!!!!

Proof


I mismeasured both sides


BUT! The lid is now installed. Tomorrow - the armrest




Lifting the lid to show how nice the new foam looks


In the car all installed


From the exterior looking in


Also, I went ahead and painted a few interior pieces the same flat black to help give a uniform look. While the textures might not match at least the color is the same. I'm really happy so far - except for the bolts. GRRRRRRRRR!!!! NOTE: I did NOT paint the pieces inside. It was a little cold so I brought the table inside to stink up the house - but I did NOT paint inside the house.


This weekend? The door panels. I've been looking at how I'm going to attack this project and taking notes... more to come!

Phase II - giggidy giggidy!

I got a PM from one of our fellow PFF members. Stryker passed this info on to me. It's a process called "flocking" - - VERY COOL STUFF!. Thanks Stryker for the GREAT info! This stuff would have been perfect for under the lid and inside the glovebox!

This opens up ALL new doors and possibilities...

Was just roaming around the site looking at this stuff. Looks interesting and it's not expensive. I'm thinking Headliner? - Maybe the Dash? or maybe my Console??????

Here's the funny thing..... Check out this pic I found on the site:

Hey All,

Sorry no updates this weekend. I had to work on Sat and it is Super Bowl Sunday... I gotta eat too much food, watch too much football and then have WAY too much gas...

I should get started this week!

Just my .02 but I like your painting better than flocking.
I just think if you are going to have something "fuzzy" it should be limited to the floor
and the bottom part of the door panels ie carpet.
