A few new things for this year....
Its been a while since I posted some pics so Here are a few changes im doing to the car for this show season. I dropped off my headliner and pillars to my buddy Romeo at Romeo's tint and upholstery to have wrapped in suede.
The drivers A-pillar I had the honda accord 3 pod gauge pod that layed over the factory pillar but was annoying me since it didnt line up properly. So I had my buddy cut it down and mold it in to the factory A-pillar.
I had to cut out some parts of the factory pillar to access the air ride gauges from behind
Here it is after I got it all molded together
and then all sueded out..
Next I dropped a bunch of misc. stuff from my engine off to my buddy martin at liquid powder coats to be powder coated. I just got back my alternator, alternator pulley and power streeing pulley. Now I just have to have my friend Isaac who took the alternator apart put it all back together. I was going to powder coat everything a color called almost chrome which looked polished but decided to do some stuff a transparent rasberry and some almost chrome.. I dont know what it is about this color but just couldnt resist...
Ill have more pics of everything else once I get it all back.... Thanx for lookin....

When I put it in I cracked it so I left it for last show season and now I jst took it out and gave it back to my buddy brian to fix it and repaint it. You can see some of the cracks in the pics..
Ill post better pics once I get it back all fixed and painted...

Got the last of the transparent rasberry pieces back from the powder coater but he still has a few pieces to powder coat almost chrome should be picking the up off him tom. The color looks alot better in person it has a nice blue tint to it that looks nice with the blue color of my car!!
and finally put all the air ride gauges in the gauge pod and put it in
and last here is the alternator all back together
