Sunfire Vert. Worth the wait???
Wednesday, April 19, 2006 6:58 PM
Well some of you have been keeping track of the progress on the tonneau cover and trunk work I've been working on (and off , mostly off with the way work has had me buried) so a quick catch up...

Started making a prototype in August. Then made a fiberglass part out of the mold made from the prototype...



Stretched vinyl on that...



Then made a sub box and started making some side close out panels...



Now for the update...

Made another fiberglass box in what was left over of the spare tire well...



Made access to the battery...



Put it all together...



Then moved on to the rear seat delete...

Took the stock side panels apart and recovered them with some custom stitched vinyl...



Made the base...



Carpet...



Made a close panel for the bottom side of the tonneau cover...



Made the back...



Carpet and finish...



Just need to finish up about an hour of wiring and it'll be done... FOR NOW

I'M OUT OF HERE UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING.

Gary, the car is looking great as always. Were you going to make Import Face-off this Sunday? I can't wait to see your car again since it's gone through so many changes since I last saw it.

Thanks everyone.

If they ever make an announcement on where the Bash is going to be I'll see if I can make it.

James; I'm going to try to get down to OKC this Sunday but no promises. What's the weather look like for Sunday? We're looking at severe T-storms.

Karo; I'll try to get ahold of you this morning. I've been putting in 15-18hr. days between this and work.
