My Interior and Engine Bay.......Build Thread
Looking good Trevor. Some people just enjoy their car while driving them, others, like to show them, and then there are the people who look at their cars as a hobby. I enjoy working on and modding my car as much as I do driving it, or showing it. It's my time to express myself. Some people build models, or do woodwork, but a car hobbyist likes working on his car.
Not sure about why you got a vacation, but good to have you back. Seeing your pics of your dog hanging out makes me a little sad because I lost my Roxanne this past August (she's my avatar). She was my garage buddy as well and it's weird hanging out in the garage without her these days.

Thanks Alot!
Yea you put that great, and i feel the same way about my car. I do love driving it(well i miss it...) but i know itll be more fun after im done. and ill be prouder to do so.
**cough**admin*on*a*power*trip**cough**
Sorry to hear about roxanne. I plan on getting a second dog in a few months when sadie is done with training.
She is a great dog, I had her out in the garage with me when she was only 10weeks old, so grinding, pounding, and welding doesn't scare her.
Ill put up some pics of last night in a few.

I got the other side bondoed, and began grinding/40 grit
Who doesn't have a 170,000BTU Heater in their garage?
As she sits with $100 worth of sandpaper sitting on the windshield.
One of my LS7 Heads Arrived.. In comparison to the stock 241...
Sadie trying to hide her bone under my tools... (Shes pushing wrenchs to cover the bone... with her nose...)
Here she is, diggin in my Head box, to dig a hole for her bone...
How about under the workbench...?

From: Webb City, MO...out in the garage
The car is lookin good man, you still got a lot ahead of you though 
i'm at the wiring stage with mine, might actually be able to start it this week.
Keep that pup out of the antifreeze!

I dont need any reminding of how much work i have to do...
Im trying to figure out if i want to do a full re-spray...
Oh yea... I try to keep from getting into to much trouble.
Well, its been so cold here I haven't wanted to be out in the garage, even with that huge heater, i still cant get it very warm, (when its below 0)
But, I got out there yesterday a little, and today.
Here what i got done,
(I got myself a handy little palm sander, and it really makes this sanding much easier, and go MUCH faster.)
I need to get welding wire, to weld a couple more holes(some random drill hole, random holes on each strut tower, the triangle I cut for the wires through the fender, several spot welds i missed, stuff on the firewall.
I also gotta work on my A/C Delete panel, and my wiring.
Also tomorrow, im gonna wet sand the roll cage, to take off a couple drips, then idk, but i dont want anymore paint.
Its a little hard to tell in the pics, but the strut towers and frame rails are pretty damn close to smooth, with nice curves.
Im trying to figure out what to do with that weird indentation on the drivers side strut tower, (The one thats great for holding bolts)

Never got around to the cage today.
I got everything i needed all welded up.
I also put a couple plates to cover up the dip(bolt holder) on the drivers side strut tower. I got bondo on that also.
Looks pretty good.
Forgot the camera in the garage(200ft away... Im lazy) ill put up pictures tomorrow.
Time for some Call of Duty MW2!!!

I spent a lot of time eliminating the stupid little divet in the shock tower...
I only have one pic of the plates I welded on, and its on my phone. Just so you guys dont think i just filled it in with bondo.
These are up-to-date pics, i should get out there tomorrow, i get out of class at like 1.
Just to refresh you guys, and i know priming at this step is unnecessary but, I was having a hard time telling the actual shape of the shock tower, with all the different layers of bondo, it needs some work, but Im excited with how it looks.

Looking good there bro. My favorite pics are those of the fuse box harness relocation. (page 4) I am in the process of doing mine as well. Did you just unplug the harness from the firewall (by taking out the screw) and pull it out under the hood? And then put the firewall end through the frame rail and back to the firewall? Looks Very nice! Can't wait to see it finished!

I'm actually designing an even bigger garage/house, to go on a lot I have.
Thank you.
I had it as good as you once, when I lived at home. Dad has a big garage with a lift on one side. Just don't live in the same state anymore. Enjoy it while you got it.. Again great work!
