TooOld Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I just read thru the entire post and you are doing excellent work ! Great job cutting out the door , I don't have the patience to do it that clean . This should be a beauty when you are finished !
bryan_m Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 thanks Bob. i use the back of a #11 blade to cut stuff open, it takes alot longer, but gives you a really nice sharp cut...it took me at least 90 minutes to cut that one door open, and another 30 to make the hinge.........but it worth it, a little patience pays off in the end. cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 I forgot i had this stuff, i found it at micheals on sale for $1.00! add some fringe to the ends of it, and youve got an instant mexican blanket..... more to come bryan

Dr. Cranky Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I forgot i had this stuff, i found it at micheals on sale for $1.00! add some fringe to the ends of it, and youve got an instant mexican blanket..... more to come bryan Wow, great find, wonderful material.

Dr. Cranky Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Buddy, cut and done correctly, this material would make great cushions to bomber style seats. Or the seats you have are perfect too.

Randy D Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Hi Bryan, Really nice work on the doors!! The blanket stuff looks good. Randy
dimebolt Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Lookn good man. Awesome cat, better get him building! Corey
bryan_m Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 thanks corey. yea hes a pretty good cat, im not really a cat person, but i cant have a dog here. he likes to attack your leg when you walk by, but thats about it.......well he likes to chew on the parts trees, thats why he was diggin in the box! LOL more to come bryan
dimebolt Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I like some cats. Some of them I just can't stand. I've got a cool Siamese, and a 13 year old-3 legged pit bull. They're buddies, and also my bench mascots, lol. The cat likes to play with my small hobby brush I use for dusting interior parts though! And I can never find it. Her name is Cuda. And the cat's name is Smallblock. LOL, not a Mopar family at all. Corey
bryan_m Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 ha! very cool names Corey! how did he lose his leg? ill bet he gets around just fine though, my buddy had a 3 legged dog, and you couldnt even tell. yea im not big on cats, but winston is pretty cool.......hes really mellow, except when he attacks your leg! cheers bryan
dimebolt Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks man. I'll hurry, not trying to hijack your thread. She got hit by a car in front of my Grandpa's farm at highway speeds, 65 to 70! The JERK didn't even stop either. Half the family, including 3 of my 4 kids saw it happen. She's been without it for 6, almost 7 years now, but does incredible. Up n down stairs and everything. We are VERY blessed to still have her. Corey
