Came across a decent lil find this weekend at the local "Pik-a-Part"...... As you see I have a Scottsdale which means Im lacking a few interior pieces-------> But not anymore

I found all the interior panel pieces (also red though they will be changed) needed like the Silverado.  Front & Rear metal headliner panels, front left & right A pillars, along with L & R rear B (sail) panels.  Plus lucked out and found some chrome AutoVent visor shades (that only needed a lil cleaning up).

What could have cost me over $150 or so I paid.............$5.48 for everthing

Here are a few pics of my treasures.....no I didnt take the headliner (it was nasty).....All pieces will be cleaned up and color changed once I get my truck painted to go along with the interior color scheme

 :D ;D :D ;D :D :) ;) :) ;) ;D :D ;D 8) ;D :o ;) 8) :) ;) ;D ;) :) 8) ;D 8) ;) 8)

Pics:




Here are some before and after clean-up pics of the chrome window visor and what I used to polish them.....






Now here's my working tools of choice.....



And now here's the after....some elbow grease and time....




They will go on after the truck is all painted up




Stay tuned for more progress to come......

UPDATE...UPDATE....UPDATE....

Alright here it is..finally out of the paint shop (has to go back later to bring that shine out).

I finally decided on a color......And came up with color matching it w/ my charger (thought it would be a good look).  All Im waiting on now is my interior to be finished & installed than I will put the wheels on

Fore warning: This is not going to be a show truck not in the slightest so be gentle.  I just couldnt ride around in a red truck and I had to do a lil something to it just to make it my own

I just got it back today and decided to wash the dust off of it.......

Here goes--------->


From This:





To This:





Notice the brother in the background (same father different mother)







As you can see '06 Dodge/Chrysler Bright Silver (a metallic not a candy so its not going to look all super wet but it will get a bit glassier a later) is the paint....shaved all molding & emblems except for the fender trim and the drip rails (need to put back on)

Stay tuned for future pics w/ the interior in (tried a lil something different color wise on it ) & wheels mounted up

Yes it was cleared....the painter said for me to bring it back so he can buff it out---- He promises that when he's done it will look as glassy as my charger

Prec8 everyone on the compliments

Well just recently I posted pics of my truck and its new color......well its only right that the interior see some attention too.  The seats, dash, and other pieces are at the interior shop as we speak.  But if you remember I have a SCOTTSDALE, but got my hands on some of the interior components of a SILVERADO (@ a great deal if I may add).

With the above said I had to change the color of the pieces for them to match my new paint scheme.  Rather than have them wrapped as this isnt going to be a show truck, I decided to try my hand at painting them myself using Dupli-Color Products

Below you will see my process of prep using Acetone, soapy water cleaning, & the multi light layer spraying of all pieces.....Thanks for the help Lil Duece with the cleaning...hahaha


-------Again-----A sneek-peek------ Of my color combo: Silver & Soft Peanut Butter.............Decided to go for the luxury car theme (saw this scheme on a silver convertable Benz coupe)


Well here goes......









My Lil Duece is always ready to lend a hand.....  :D


Air Drying....






***********************************************************

And now for the color combo........Yes they will tie in better once the rest of the interior is in place, but this is it for now
