Wow dude. Looks really good. But now where are the seat belts going to go? And how did you get the cetner consol smooth. Did you just sand it like you did with the rest of the pieces. Since there are so many curves I am thinking of just using a high quality primer and keep spraying and sanding cuz of the curves. Looks good though man. Those spakers in the doors look awsome.

thanks, im not using the stock seat belts, cuz they broke and i didnt want to spend a hundred dollars on just one side so i bought 4 point harness, dont need the openings so by by they went,and yea i sanded the center consol like everything else, they way to make it perfect is to sand it with 80 then primar it with cheap spray can primar then us a sander with 180 over that and then spray cheap primar over that and after that us a sander and sand it again with 180 once u get that far then wet sand it with 400 after u wet sand it, it should be ready for high build primar surfacer. and just put as many coats on it after that. all of this week ill be gettin my other interior parts ready for primar and once everythin is wet sanded and primard time for paint and trust me this paint job for my interior will be somethin no one has ever done or seen. im a painter so i have to come up with somethin crazy. no and its gonna gonna be corny or stupid with crzy air brushing. i probably wont use my air brush on my inteiror. and thanks for the speaker comment the only bad thing is i have to do the exact same thing to the other door. lol

the dash was a bad idea. gloss paint on a dashboard makes for an absolute bitch of a tiem to see on a sunny day. been there, done that, learned my lesson. otherwise, it looks great!

alright once again some changes, it seems like im always changen my mind but its always for the better. i went to a U pull it yard aka junk yard and they had a nice 00-02 rolled neon. when i got there i couldnt get the doors open but that neon had what i wanted for a very long time.

CHROME interior door handles, decklid carpet, rear defrost housing and lower spare space or cd changer plastic, glove box inside plastic, clear plastic gauge cover. as u can see i had to man handle the door pannels lol. i got all of this stuff for 20 bucks thats right 20 big ones.
Image
ok when i was pulling this out i noticed at the top were there was always an opeing there was somethin there with wires. i have no idea what it is or what it does. if someone could plz tell me what the hell it does i would be greatfull. iv alwasy wondered why there was an opening there.
Image

i didnt have these parts for even a day and i started to sand and cut and modify. what do u think looks pretty kool since i have my double din takin the place of the defrost and sig lighter.
Image
im gonna glass and put 3 switches there. finally i found a place to put my switches. iv had theme all over the place under the arm rest, glove box under the dash even the place there goin now, lol.
Image

last but not least heres a picture of my car the way it looks today, new fogs and lowering springs for temerary use.

I saw three neons at my local junkyard that had those handles. I already raped all of them of their interior carpeting.

As for those two wires, its a "cupholder" light. From what I've seen its only in the 00-02s. I had an 00 Plymouth that had it.
