[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Lamenting the rain.......send it my way! PLEASE!

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you all are tired of the rain, please send it my way. Ordinarily 
I would not miss it, but we have been without rainfall for weeks. My 
grass is brown and I have to keep watering my shrubbery in an 
attempt to keep it alive. Plenty of time to work on the Gremlin 
though! I took my seats to the upholstery shop last week and picked 
out colors and fabric for the seats. I decided to keep the same seat 
pattern as the original, but changed colors and fabrics. The 
original was brown vinyl with dark brown vinyl stripe and 
brown/white plaid center sections on each seat. The new pattern will 
be navy with white stripe and blue tweed material in the centers. I 
saved the original headliner and am debating on how to have it 
covered. I was thinking of having it done in the navy with 2 white 
vinyl stripes running along each side. What do you all think about 
that? Also, I don't know if I want to recover the wheel humps or 
not. I peeled off the original vinyl and can use them as a pattern, 
but I am thinking about just having them painted?

The school body shop has my Gremlin taken completely apart - doors, 
glass, fenders, bumpers, hood are all off it. The students are 
getting to see what real metal looks like on a car! The collision 
repair instructor will be getting me a list of items needed to 
complete the project. If I supply all the paint & materials, then I 
only have to pay the school 20% over that for the labor. Not a bad 
deal!

I am going to a car show today to spectate, then I will take a 
sample of the navy vinyl to the paint shop and have them match me 
some interior paint for the panels and other plastic pieces. I will 
probably have to dye the door panels, arm rests, and dash pad since 
the new blue vinyl doesn't quite jive with them. ~Lu~
