sorry, I'm getting ready to do mine and I didn't know if the faux suede was worth it or not.
Its real suede. my iphone is not the best at taking pictures, so it just looks like plain black fabric, ill see if i can take better pics tomorrow since its already getting dark over here.

as far as paint i used just regular black vinyl and fabric rattle can paint you buy at autozone.

Little teaser on the interior build phase, STATUS FTW!!





Wheels have been decided on and will place the order as soon as interior reaches the 90% mark

I know there are people who say running buckets in the car is not safe and what not, but rest assured, this car stays in the garage 6 days if not 7 days a week!

Everything looks great so far, really makes me want to do my visors and headliner

I'm really questioning red seats in that color car though

Yea I'm questioning the same thing, but if the red seats don't flow well then I'll either sell these and pick up a black set or see if status can send me the black fabric for these. Only time will tell

Lol you're right i did. I also missed the two fender wires on top off of both struts. Im taking PTO in a couple of weeks sooooo that means complete teardown on the inside and the final tuck!!

Im looking to spend around 5-6 hours are trying to hide those 3 wires, probably gonna be more though

new but small update. got some more parts in from status, and my polished parts arrived, BUT! im not too thrilled with how the polished parts came out. There are many (though small) imperfections and the timing cover is killing me because i dont want to remove it myself



i might go a different route with the bay set up. bye bye money that i will never see again

but on a lighter note i didnt some sexy parts from status





just waiting on the sliders since they were on back order but should be here next week.

and i love this ****, i know alot of people dont like to show the bare shift lever but for some reason i like the look of it.



dont mind the zip tie, just temporary until i can fab something up to hold the finisher down.

also just heard that one of my main interior parts is finished and should be arriving next week

and i also ordered a small part that "apparently" only a hand few of Z's have since its an overlooked part and fabrication is needed to make it (so im told). its nothing major but its something that bothered me because in 2 weeks time im finishing the wire tuck and this part would make a big difference of the wire hiding.

apparently im the 7th person to order a set so that kinda makes me happy (i could be wrong though lol)


stay tuned
