So far it’s pending but if it’s canceled, I’ve already made arrangements to pick apart a Mid Ford that’s out in Lancaster and then pick up some more Diamond pleat straight from the wholesaler. It’ll be cheaper to do diamonds than all carpet, not by much, but I’ll still get the carpet for the floors.

I finally tried to mount them and realized they were short in some spots. I quickly ran over to Home Depot, had them cut some 5mm panels down and then I made some new door panels. There’s one door panel that needs some more mounting screws because it is pulling one out but I think I’ll have it done next time. I’m going to run Christmas tree clips through them and cover in black Diamond. I have most of my test panels about 90% fitted and trimmed for install. I think there’s a few more spots that need some wood studs for support. I know the edges don’t have to be perfect because I’ll have them covered by a trim panel but I want to make sure I have something for the trim to bite into. Ceiling will be the next few weeks and I should have upholstery by early December, so I can start gluing and wrapping mid December.

I always hated doing that part of the build It's coming along Thank you, guys. I just ordered a vintage customization book from eBay that wasn't an arm and a leg. I'm going to line up everything I need in the next few weeks. *Sigh* it really is never ending. I'm ordering an overhead console and a vintage switch panel today. *EDIT* I just picked up the console and a Carovan switch panel. I am beyond stoked. I can now repair all the holes in my dash from toggle switches and relocate them to the panel in the console. Merry Christmas to me.
