I'm not in Clarksville right now and the car stays in the garage, there are a few Cruzes on Ebay wheels floating around the area however. I'll be back in the states this spring...have you ever gone out to the smash burger meets on Friday nights? We usually see about 40-50 cars...pretty good for the area.

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 think I saw you this morning on the way to work now that i look through some of your pictures, driving down 41A around the Walmart Oak Grove and the I24 on-ramps... Though, I don't really recall to well since, well, it was morning and I don't like the morning. Once I get this thing assembled, I'll be making it out to some events I hope.

I like where this is going.

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

I did a ton of research about it to make sure I wasn't doing something stupid. Spoke to a couple custom interior shops about it before pulling the trigger. This material is millimeters thick and simple to tear with a little force. With the force that the airbag deploys, this stuff will rip right along with the cover.

The airbag cover comes off in one piece, it clips directly onto the wheel...it's kinda like a one - two combo if your airbag deploys

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...

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 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.

These new floor mats came in

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.

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

[AbisaiG]

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

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

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...
