so I think Ill have grandma knit me up some new of these door bag thingys.. she loves that kind of thing and I think with the elastic and simple  cardboard-like construction, they should be easy to replicate for a grandma.
Ill be getting black plastic door panels& armrests, and  black cut pile. So hopefully that combo will look cool.
next year I will paint and suspension. for this year its interior. red and black, leather and velour.(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc347/rccorral/headliner004.jpg)

same with the upper arm rest. stictched grammy replacement of the padded part.

Im not sure how this fabric will weaR,  but Im gonna try it real fast for this year.
thanks for looking,
Pete

yeah, the hosue is connected to the garage, so I get the wireless out here somehow. Its cool, and keeps me out of the tavern (off the road, really,) and thats good for me. :)

That's awesome. I don't even have a carport. I have a canopy in the back that I used to fab granite countertops in but is still full of tables and saws. It would still be cold this time of year anyway.
