Merc, they came from Ebay.

If you are looking for a set, simply search for some cup holders that go to poker tables. They work well to insert into projects like this...

Well, I ended up making it down to the upholstery shop today and the guy stopped what he was doing and wrapped my airbag for me.

So, now I just have to wait for the little black bowtie emblem to arrive for the center of the circle.






Also, I did a lot of research on this. Spoke with several people in the upholstery and custom auto industry to make sure I wasn't doing something unsafe. If you look at the top photo, you can see how thin this material actually is since the impression of the bowtie is able to be seen through the cover. I know this is something that can be very unsafe if not done correctly, hence this little disclaimer.

and the floor mats will also be changed out soon.

I haven't checked in on this thread in a little while.

HOT DAMN that interior is divine.

[blurred]

Appreciate it.

Today, since it is really cold out, I figured I would lay down some filler on these flares I've been working on for the last 2 months or so...

How does the dye make the carpet feel? Used vht interior dye years ago and it left my carpet feeling "cruchey" wasn't a fan. So might lookin in to that Rit dye for my headliner

Interior looks awesome. I especially love the armrest you made.

@srtkr - the carpet feels like carpet. Not crunchy or dry.

As of today, I busted out the orbital sander and started throwing dust. Once I get the last one welded and start laying down more of this epoxy, I'll fill in the low spots.

These new floor mats came in

and last update for a bit

Anyway, FINALLY got the cup holders in. These things work perfectly. Large enough for a travel coffee mug or decent sized cup and any 20oz bottle out there. They are also aluminum so they are nice and sturdy.

The flares are completely welded and the filler has been applied. I should be able to sand these down tomorrow with a chance of laying some primer on them.

And an update from the work I was able to accomplish today.

Installed these MMW arms to correct my camber up front and then dropped the truck off for an alignment.



And some of the damage I had to remove. That rolled steel is a section of the front cross member.





Then I came back, while waiting for the alignment, and did some sanding and priming...

[Duffy]

This truck is awesome! I don't think I've seen you out and about since I've been in Clarksville. I look forward to seeing this truck first hand when I get back to the states!

I like where this is going.

But ehm... wrapping your air bag... Isn't that asking for problems?
