Got a call back from the upholstry place... they wont do it anymore. They tried, and couldn't work. I wasn't too pissed, I mean, at least they tried. I called up the rest of the places in town and took it to two more. No one will touch it. So, I've got other plans for it. I'll leave this as a bit of a surprise. Give me a couple weeks, and we'll hopefully have pictures. So, until then, no more about the dash...

In other news - good news. Progress news. Both wiring harnesses are complete for the doors. I'm happy. It's cleaner, and simpler too. Solved the issue today with the bloody battery always dying. It was a shot BCM (Body Control Module). Though, GM wanted $840 for it, to which I told them to promptly go find a hat, I took it apart, and found all it was, go figure, a combination of broken solder connection (it was FAIRLY obvious), and a 15A fuse where all that was needed was a 10A. So, that got solved.

As well, the old fire extinguisher I had, I soaked it, pulled the labels off, masked off the chrome, and fired it with a sand blaster - then promptly sealed it with a clear finish, giving a nice flame from the bottom up. I think the flames are fitting for the fire extinguisher.

Got the new rollcage sized up and pieces cut. Tomorrow I think I might have a chance to bend them and do final fitting and cuts.

Not to mention, went in town and found myself a few deals on reupholstering the stock seats. Thought went into this, and I figure that as I'm not going to 1/4 mile it, or push this car stupid, the bucket seats and 4 pt. harnesses were overkill. I'll be able to skin them in black leather, and add padding in to make them something like buckets. This does give me a chance to add metal and not plastic parts to the seats (chromed), and as well, use the measurments of the stock seats as they are to resolve having to wait for new seats to measure out the floor console.

As for the floor console, it's stripped to the bone again - surprise, surprise. It'll be the foundation for the front to back floor console design that I'll be now making. Though, it'll look nothing like the stock one.

SO, that was my Tuesday. And now, I'm going to bed, as I sadly have to go back to work tomorrow. G'night.
