For the first time today I went and looked back at your build thread on the Blue Devil. I don't know why I didn't look at it before. I just gotta say, awesome job! We've had our little moments of disagreement, but I give you a huge thumbs up on that job. Now when are you coming down to help me do an engine swap?

what... the Emblem didnt put out? (for those who dont know the inside joke....) when he found that emblem, it was like he won the lottery... he had that thing in his pocket (after he paid for it) the entire trip home, he would pull it out of his pocket and make comments like "I love my emblem" etc...

yea, a couple of times he scared me...started talking like golem with the "my precious" line lol

view after the tape was taken off, and a pic of the endcap of the t-top I had to modify

More work over the last few days, tweaking things:

BOH,

Where did you get that blue foam from, and how big can you get it?. How shapable is it? Sorry for all the ?'s.

Joannes fabrics, 5 or 6 inches thick I believe is the thickest, its really soft and thick cushion foam and its like $50 a yard
they had a section that was about 6ft long and 5in thick when I got it, I ended up getting a precut scrap that was perfect for what I needed.
you might be able to get it cheaper at walmart - np about the ?'s

Damn dude, what'd ya do to Ricks car? Looks like it found a fixture in your driveway the way it is now

I'm learning alot about fiberglassing with the console, this is taking a long time to do but I have learned a ton of info from comments of other members to my own mistakes. I did some bondo the other day and Just got to sanding it this evening, using 40 grit sand paper stuck to my mouse sander I was able to sand 1/2 of it down before it got too dark to work:

Next monday (20th) scheduled to return to work, heres some of the latest stuff done on the center console... slow going, learning about stuff

Is it just me or does it still sit a bit lopsided? That last pic looks like it leans to the right a bit...

might be, even if its off... it wont be noticeable once the cushions are in and its installed... unless your looking directly through the windshield at it, you might notice
