Its funny how the camera can pick up on small items and make them seam larger than they are. If it doesn't settle out real quick, I will take that $600 job back to him for sure!

Yea, cause I thought leather only got looser when broken in, not tighter.

I think leather will get tighter if it gets wet. And this in not "Genuine Naugahyde". 

I have never seen a Genuine Nauga, have you?

I'm not worried about the rear seat wrinkle right now. After it gets out in the heat, if that doesn't do it I might spray a little water on in and rub it in!







I think you should be worried about those seats. When they new upholstery is installed it should fit like clove, besauce it will not shrink. When upholstery is done correct way it should not have any wrinkles and cornes will fitt nicely. It seems that your upholstery maker has been in hurry and had not time for details.

Carpet Finished, Overhead Console Installed - 6/4/2007 10:38:24 PM

I finished the carpet. I have never been so glad that all the back breaking work is about done. I installed the center console for good. Installed the shifter. I had to bolt the bottom shifter bolt from underneath the console (when it was loose). The extra insulation and new carpet makes the installation process a PITA! Kick panels and door sill plates (stainless steel) are done. Well, I have one to go. Seat floor brackets are bolted down. Seat belt bolts were put in before the carpet. It sure makes it easier to find those holes.



I even installed the overhead console w/map lights! Installing those screws before the headliner made the process a little easier to find.

I am pretty sure you are correct.  We have a leather couch that when it was new had several wrinkles like that.  The service guy came and took a regular hair dryer to the panels and they streched nicely.  Took most of the day though.

While I had it out of the car for the last two months, I could have set it out in the sun for several days and probably accomplished just that. I just wasn't thinking. But I am hoping you are right!

It has never seen the sun, and I will wait until until the first or second day (outside in the sun) before I start to be really concerned.

Doors are DONE, complete with molding, electric windows, handles, etc, etc. Many hours here. But they sound like a new car when they close:



And the front & rear glass and chrome were installed today!





Radiator is 31" x 16", dual pass, inlet and outlet on the drivers side, filler neck on the passenger side, dual 13" 1720 CFM fans and shroud:



Anybody recognize these?



A big hole here, I will reinforce it with a piece of angle. I had to remove the A/C condenser and the brackets, cut them, move them to the back of the condenser, bend the lines a little, but it all lines up now. More pictures when I get the upper bracket to the radiator welded on. The lower radiator mounts are just 2 pins ( 1/2" ) with a rubber insulator:



I can almost smell the rubber burning down the road!
