thanks guys. and vanished, as long as i can keep taking good ideas, i'll be in there for a while.... :lol:

anyways, molded in the massagers and heat pad in the passenger seat today, so i'm ready for perry's package. i hope other guys take advantage of the good gb on upholstery here because the quality is obviously really good and the price is right.

You do know it's not actual engine mounts, it's the bushings that go between the frame and the engine cradle mounts. I plan on ordering them tomorrow though. I installed my stockers wrong and sheared the rubber off. Oops. :)

I also already did the shifter extension bushing from SRD because my stocker got ripped in an accident. Love that piece. Wish I could just buy it all at once like that. But as it stands, I have to break something first to justify the purchase to my wife. :)

Did you make those seat covers? I plan on making my own once I get some other things straightened out. I plan on using neoprene, though. You should definitely get some more of that red material though and change out the door and side panel insert fabric to match.
