ReMera UPDATES: Removed trunk carpet..going to do a deep clean with CLR & Pressure washer...then Dye it black
Sanded down the trunk box...had some surface rust...now sprayed down with OSPHO to kill any little rust left. I will do a good wipe don with alcohol tomorrow and then spray a good solid coat of black rust-o-leum.
Installed trunk light with switch from 1989 S10 Blazer or GMC Jimmy as norm for my cars:

ReMera UPDATES: Safelite just finished installing the new glass:
Need to polish that lower front grill...on the list.
It didn't go without issue..only a small one...but still annoying: Having my body and paint work up a quote tomorrow...Safelite is going to pay to have it fixed.

"The Coats White thread has arrived. Your kit is in progress, my intention is to sew 90% of it over the weekend, still waiting for the logo panels, hopefully get those on Monday. I will send a tracking number when it leaves. Your credit card has not been billed."
...left the last line in...since it highlights the type of Vendor Mr. Mike is...this is all custom work!
Decided to drop the height of the shifter a little more and I think it looks a lot cleaner:
Installed my standard Infiniti G-37 rear view mirror:

MyTestarossa UPDATES: Was catching up with EVM_Rob today...looks like the car will be ready for pick-up by the end of July...then straight to Mike in OK for final sanding and painting!
Thinking a really beefy 3800-SC with a fat IC and all the upgrades and goodies from ZZP!

If you get heads then you NEED headers and a cam to take advantage. DO NOT touch the bottom end. SEEIMOP on GP forum makes a much better IC then ZZP. If going all out then get a XPZ cam setup with supporting mods but I recommend just a plain ole XP cam, CNC heads, headers, N*, SEEIMOP IC, NOSRAC tune...LOL The kicker is in the trans. A built 4t65e-hd Trans with 3.69 gears is a wheelie machine and will also out run a comparable trans with 2.93 or 3.29 gears in the 1/4 mile.

Terrance...was just day dreaming...serious about a really beefed up 3800-SC...when I get serious about it...I will ping you for your input
Looking really nice, but damage to fresh paint/body is always a downer.
Rob...thanks and it happens...trying not to focus on it at the moment...lol ...it will get fixed...hopefully will little headache from Safelite. I have to email them the quote I received from my body & paint guy earlier today still...been waiting for a callback all day from the Safelite manager. No call by tomorrow...onto Safelite Corporate.
Can't wait to see the rest of the interior trim panels upholstered in Turmeric & of course the G1 door panels for the ReMera & BlueDream
ReMera UPDATES: Have the media card reader rough into center plate...will bond it in place...after I recieve the last piece for the center plate...easier to cut that way...then still need to carbon fiber wrap the plate.
Would this be Neo-8Track...lol:
With Sub-Woofer control knob, media card reader, and soon to be Aux input for Radio via USB and mini jack...we will call this the Auxiliary Media Panel (AMP).
Also got the 2nd rear speaker cover recovered:

ReMera UPDATES: Cleaning up and preparing the seats for Mr. Mike's new skins:
The seats had a fair amount of surface rust on them and the rails...nothing a wire brush and some OSPHO can't fix: Waiting for this coat of OSPHO to dry out completely...then I i am going to put a nice clean coat of plasti-dip over it before putting on the new skinds.
Still have some work on getting the rails back to perfect. Need to get them rust-free 1st and then coat them in a good solid coat of black Rustoleum:
ReMera UPDATES: Order Carbon Fiber Universal Heated Seat Heater Kit - 5 Position Dial - ships from Dallas...so it should be here tomorrow: Same set that I put into BlueDream.
Also printed out the templates for the head-rest speakers I am adding: Need to get these cut out and situated as well.
Driver's side seat...now all rust free, dry and now final dry with a coat of plastidip to seal and secure the foam:
Also hit the trunk carpet with 1st coat of black dye:
