Custom Mike Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Joe, I've been watching since the beginning, and it's looking so much better than what is normally possible with this kit! How much more before we get to see it in all it's professionally-built glory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks Mike! I dunno yet. I'm just building on it somewhat steadily and seeing where it goes. We'll see how "professional-built" it is when it all starts coming together near the end. You know that point where all the "boo-boos" that weren't thought out all the way through start to show up? lol . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I'm doing the same thing you are as I haven't been able to get on here at all at work until today. Once I'm home I don't usually stop till about 9:30 or so and at that point I'm just ready for a bath and then bed. And with my wife waking up in the middle of the night lots of times I just want to sleep in ...............

mustang1989 Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I sleep in, with or without being woken up. The bad news is that early in the morning is my bench time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The bad news is that early in the morning is my bench time. Bummer. With my being "retired" now, I can (and do) work on stuff whenever the mood strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Just checked out the flocking on the rear bed floor Joe. Outstanding work on the interior of your build. What's Next on the list??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Thanks Carl! There's some change up for the "entertainment room" in the back. Well as some of you might've figured from the get go......that big couch aint going to work! I had my blinders on early on but reality hit. It was too tall and took up way too much room in the back. . I even trimmed out the bottom of it so the wheel tub would fit up inside the bottom of the couch and it was still too tall. I broke out the OOB front bench seat and trimmed it out in the area at the center of the couch where the transmission hump cut out was and have it primed so far. I also tossed the coffee table from the equation as the TV was sitting up too high and would've hit the roof. I replaced that with a section of clear plastic from Evergreen and painted it black on the back side to give it that "black glass" look. I'm currently working on the L angled two legs for the front of the table. I believe this....is more doable. I still have to carpet the side of the R/H wheel tub but I'm makin' some progress anyhow.

Roadrunner Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Reminds me of an old station wagon I used to own (Dodge Dart). I had old sheets for "curtains" and a second hand mattress. I used to take it to the drive-in, park backwards, and lay in the back, watching movies. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hate to hear that. If you're like me I should have bit the dust a long time ago given half of the crazy stuff I used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yep, I'm probably very luck to be alive now. Several close calls when I was younger. Some of my friends didn't make it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
