slowly getting the headliner in and around the rollcage...  :brickwall: it's not easy but worth the effort.

Thanks Pat... I laid out the roll cage so the visors will work also. I had to modify them a little but they will work. Still have to sew them together and get the base chromed. project for later in the summer. lol

Would you ever consider adding a black vinyl top?

I originally thought about putting one on the car and agonized over which way to go for several weeks. Finally decided to go with the hard top since I was putting the V21 hood accent on the car. I'll drive the car for a few years maybe I'll get froggy and put one on. The car was originally a vinyl top car.

I'm pretty damn happy with it

Some pics with wheel chrome and blacked out fuel lines. Only have a 4-6 weeks wait for the window vent frame chrome and the car will basically be done, if they are ever done.  :rofl:

I think I'm going to keep the roll cage white and add white padding as well. I think it really balances out well with the interior the way it is currently

Luke

Was moving the Tahoe to get my car out of the garage and rolled the window down...  :brickwall: It didn't roll back up.

Thanks Phantom and BLK 68 R/T.

Just a quick drive yesterday and it out handles my Wife's BMW 135I (with M series handling package) with ease. Very happy with what I've seen so far. Can't wait to do some more testing....

Finally got the money to restore the window vent frames. polishing the stainless and putting them together. The original rubber gasket cleaned up real nice luckily.

Radio installed, looks original but has 4x45 watts per channel with pre-amp outputs, and aux input. Sounds great and has bluetooth capability so I  have handfree phone use as well. I have a total of 1200 watts of power and it all looks stock.  :coolgleamA:

Do you mind telling me where to find a radio like yours? Looks really nice!
