Also received the 84 Climate control that I need to salvage the need black buttons, slider gem & black knob to give my climate control and refurbished back to new look to it:..also re-greased..slides like new again as well!

Just nabbed a set of LeBaron brackets from member "inthelead"

That just saved me $170 on my brake upgrade...thanks InTheLead!

Door Skin update...my origional design is not dead & I will have them made...just not to start with.

Bottom line...there are only so many days between now and the 30th in Indy.

I have the front Fascia and rear bumper in fabrication and should be ready in 4 weeks...everyone hold there breath!

With the above stated...this is the temporary option I am going to go with:



I looked at Kingdom Custom's F355 door skin (NOT ROB'S)...just because I remember that the geometry was different then Robs.
In my opinion his door handle seems to be more centered rather then dash forward then yours...leaving more empty forward space to cut up and re work to mold around the G1 dash.

UPDATE...just chatted with Richard over at Kingdom...the door skins do not over-lay or interfere with stock dash...so there should be zero issues with using them with the G1...just need to clean up and re-work the upper right hand corner to make it look cleaner up against the G1 dash.

UPDATE:

Some of you already know that I am planning on yanking the old sunroof and replacing it with an electric slider...just found the exact one:



These sunroofs are manufactured by Inalfa, the largest Sunroof manufacturer in the world. These are top-of-the-line suroofs.

Sunroof Glass Spoiler Style 40x20 Electric Tinted Glass w/ Sunshade [MP# 3630]
