A manner of weeks ago, I went to a few local shops to get an estimate on how much it would be to replace the utter shit that is the inside of my '74 Charger. The lowest estimate is $1100. (900 was without panels)
I gave them all the mental bird and walked away. I can do, and WILL DO, it myself. Here is my progress so far:
Day 0:
This is the interior before the shit hit the fan.
Same thing, from another angle.
edit: My internet shitted out for a while, rest of it.
Day 1:
Gauges out to be cleaned, re calibrated and fixed.
Yes, that is an analog clock.. in a car.
Dashboard and Dashcap taken out to be primed/replaced
Day 2:
Headliner out
Floor treated with sealant rubber coating
Seats removed
Day 3:
Bucket seats! Taken out of a 69 AMC, modified the tracks to fit
Test fit, check!
Dashboard primed
Not a bad 3 days take. I have full plush carpet, brand new headliner, new dash cap, nearly finished painted panels. On Monday the new buckets and back bench seats are getting nice new white fabric reupholstering. I will also be constructing a center console and installing a B&M Console shifter within the next week.
Total parts and material cost: $330
I win.
