so let me get this strait, everyone likes the job but wouldn't do it theirselves, and you think its a quality job. I should start charging pimps to do this stuff man. I couldmake extra cash

d00d, for sure....

Just keep it in the caddys where it belongs...lol.

therckid

i mean d00d i live right beside of a big apartment complex, i know there are pimps in it too man, i see their cars and everything. Some of them ideots wake us up at night playin their sterios. Guns shot about once a month. Not to bad though once you cross the centerblock fence that separates us from them. Only thing ever happened here was my $300 bike i bought(with my lawn mowing money) got stolen. And once they tried to steal our seadoo, but they couldn't so the cut off the power connector.

Wow, good work doing all of that but awful choice using the fur.

On a sidenote. Maybe if you quit saying d00d all the time maybe people would like you better. Every time I read thru your posts and come across the d00d part I wanna punch myself in the face for reading that. Thats the cold harsh truth
How many times was d00d in this thread? Sorry for having to be an *** but that had to be said.

therckid

alright, i'll try to stop the "d00d." Ok?.... will everyone like that better? its just a habbit, i've tried to stop then my friends who got it off me, start it again. Its contaigeous.

SO am i and Midnight Sun the only ones who like this thing? I mean if you saw it would you guys be like "ah thats cool man", or would you say "d00d why did you do that?" I'm telling ya it doesn't really matter while your in the car, its only the headliner. If you saw it, you'd think of it better.

85SportCoupeto89RS

If I saw that in person I wouldnt make fun of you. You did a quality job putting the fabric in and correctly installing it. Just not many people like fur fabric. Especially since the 70's crap.

therckid

you guys act like its like a fur coat on my haedliner. the fur is really smooth and its not long at all, its really short. Have you ever had one of them jackets with the furry stuff in side, not the vevlit but its usually white fur stuff. its that long. i mean the fur is kinda holographic because when light hits it it looks like aluminum or silver.

I plan on making my own seat covers in not too long also. Their definately not gonna be fur. I wanna keep the old cover onbut i still want it to look cool ya know. What kinda material should i use. My mother just got her ferderal tax check the other day and is giving me all of it($400). I'm not using real leather, maybe pleather. But i also want to use colors like blue, gray, and black. Would it be alright to mix pleather then something else? I'm gonna try to make a drawing in a minute, just wait like 10min and i have a drawing of what i want it to look like.

therckid

here it is

if someone could color it in for me digitally i would be very grateful. But you get the idea of it. I know howto sow reasonably good with machines and very good by hand. My grand mother makes things like this for a living, so she taught me when i was little. Its not complicated at all. You see how its just flat fabric and i get something like pleather i now realize i would have to make it curve properly, dammit. So i'm gonna have to use something cotton right? what type of stuff should i use? i dont want the stock cloth feel. felt too dry ya know.

Jose'sRedTA

d00d...no offense...but WTF are you smoking! Great work actually putting it in a car but damn...chiks dig little puppies and cats not a ****ing cat or dog on your dang headliner...awesome job on the craftmanship...I'll prob take your instructions and do the same but with different fabric...none the less keep it real and watch what you inhale...

...put it like this...your either crazy as hell or a misunderstood genius...that was a compliment...

therckid

alctually d00ds, i found out that the fur on the door handles is a buch of crap, dont ever do it yourself(like anyone would though). It jsut doesn't go witht he look of the car really. I'm taking it out tomorow.

well, i'm gonna do a lot of fabric suff in the car in the next week i hope. The door panels and the seats i hope. well i'll be sure to make a new thread if i do.

You know this dOOd sort of grew on me. You have to admit he does add life here, most of the crazy characters are either banned or gone. The headliner is shagadelic.

therckid

alright now someone admits i'm the energy in the rooms. i'm not too crazy though, just the right amount. And since i'm 16 i add the new style to my car, for the most part. i mean i'm not a pimp but i'm not a person whop wants to run around with $3000 dolar rims and shizz. i like more of the interior mods and, more like wheels meant for a car. i'm one of them people that like the color orange on cars. And i love bare aluminum a lot more that chrome or any other finish.

Oh yeah i have to ask is it right to put IROC camaro 5-spoke rims on a Trans Am.i just think it would be cool.



PS: its not dOOd with the letter O its d00d with the number zero.

dsaint1347

Sorry about that Mister d00d.

What a character.

therckid

i was just sayin, since me and my friend were the first ones to do it that way if someone else wants todo it too they have todo it right

Cruzin Kaz

LOL!!! That is f...ing hilarious! You a MOD! LOL! Your days are # anyway with the raw comment you always make. LOL!! I love it!!!

therckid

d00ds why am i so bad o you guys? i meanis it becuase i say cus words, or what? i mean you guys treat me like i'm stupid. But as i've said before i have a 158 IQ and i guess i make unusuall coments.

Wesdog

Now lets add some of those valve stem lights. Also some front, back, side to side, and 3 wheel hydraulics. Oh I almost forgot the crowning touch...... Lighted curb feelers. Ah finished oh I almost forgot the seats that swivel out to the door. And the steering wheel made out of some chain.

Seriously though if thats what you like then that is what matters. However I thought that hotglue would just melt and let go when it gets hot in the car. ?? I dont know hope it hold up for you.

therckid

nah d00d, i got a certain hotglue at sears for this type of stuff, its made for high heat hot glue guns though.

Wesdog

Ok I was just worried about the hot glue because of the heat because where I live it gets hot. A friend put a big thermometer in my car the other day and the outside temp was 97 heat index of 108 and the temp in the car was 160+ . Hi temp glue should work. Where did you get that fabric at a sewing store or a walmart or something. I have about 5 yards of purple velvet. I got it for a toga party. I was Velvetus Meridius and my purple velvet toga and gold rope belt won 1st place for togas. Wonder what my interior would look like in purple velvet. I guess I could give it a try since Im going to replace the whole interior anyway. It couldnt look any worse than all the duct tape holding everything together now.
Later,
WesDog

therckid

yeah d00d that sounds really cool. But one very good tip i copuld give you is make sure your fabric is strechable. If not corners will be impossibel. And if you follow my instructions ot shouldn't be much of a problem. if you need any help ask me.

hey, its for the pimp whos in a hurry . Good work on the install but the only compalint i have is that synthetic fur would be murder to my skin in the heat and humidity. Looks better the my interior delete mod that i have. Damn tweaked t-tops where ruining a mint cond. interior so i took it out to protect it.

Wesdog

Interior delete heh? Doesnt that only come with the CH7SJ43 (a.k.a. steering wheel delete option). :lala:

dimented24x7

iTrader: (2)

damn cursed t-tops. As soon as i put my 350 in the body flex loosened everyhting up and the hatch as well as the t-tops all began to leak water. It was like being on the Titanic when it rained. Shouldve got SFC's when i got the car.

Wow, a regular MacGyver!

LOL, j/k, I like your headliner! It's unique, I will give it that. It also adds a little bit of luxuriousness to your car.....

i nearly spat all my 7 up on my work screen reading this...

well, i will say i rather have mink headliner then clear altezza lights on my third gen... just one question for the owner of the fuzzidelic car....





























how do you fit all your hoes in your car, because i cant fit more then 2...

dude, this is classic and will go down in the thirdgen history books... archive this dam thead please!!! the first member to put mink fur inside his car... thank you. This site can get a little uptight some times, but people like this man right here... he lightens it up. Like i said before, i would put mink on my headliner before i put a 24 foot wing, **** cans, clear lights, and crazy air dams on my third gen...

bnoon

Any technical data was somehow lost strictly because of the materials used. Change the 70's pimp fur to a two-way high stretch vinyl, tasteful knit cloth, or perforated leather/pleather/vinyl and watch the B.S.-ing stop. I seriously thought it was a joke until I saw the level of detail you went into. I used to do custom work for a stereo shop and know the work that goes into just getting the parts out of the car in one piece, let alone putting it all back together. I think that's the only reason you're getting any halfhearted pats on the back.

If you're trying to be unique, congrats. The problem is, you've associated yourself with a fabric that gets laughs, no matter what form it's in, coats, seat covers, and now headliners. I know it's going to be hard, but please redo it in a better material... please?

As far as your seat color questions... stick to two colors. Three colors in an interior tend to get to busy. If you do go for three colors, stick to two main colors and an accent only for very small details, like chrome, brushed aluminum, carbon fiber, etc, for the door handle levers, pedals, shift *****, etc. Tri-tone seating? No-no.

Nobody cares how old you are or what your I.Q. is, because that info is all hearsay. You are judged by your posts on these forums via the content within. Cussing puts you into a category that gets banned more frequently simply because it lowers the intelligence of the whole post, especially for those reading from places of work, like myself. Keep it clean and informative and you'll get a lot more respect from a lot more members.

BTW, d00d is not in invention of yours that I know of. I can track it back three years on one forum I know of alone...

dsaint1347

Well said bnoon.

therckid

well thanks for the tips. I was actually trying to be unique, i usually dont care what all these people say about what i do to my car. i mean its not so bad when you actually see it. I'll take your advice on the two colors and i'll try to redesign my stuff. I have 5 redesigned interiors i made myself.

kristopheer

d00d - you say d00d to many times.. like d00d.

but yeah, nice fur . d00d0d000d0ddd.

There is no need to boast about your IQ. In fact people who do base anything on that guage probably aren't as smart as their tests say they are.

Considering there is alot of debate over if IQ guages mental capability or current knowledge. It's like most psychological testing. It's far from conclusive. There are to many variables and schools of thought on this.

However back to the topic at hand. Flames are not needed. Either you like the work done. Or you do not. There was quality work done on the recovering. However it probably will appeal to only a small few as far as taste goes. I can see plenty of flame wars on other forums. Including the ones at my work. (Another topic not suited to this thread)

THAT'S MY $0.02. :lala:

On a technical note. You will find that the fur will shed all over your interior. It will most likely annoy you. I had sheepskin seat covers on my old seats because they were really torn up. So the covers although ghetto looked alot better. They were also on sale at the auto store.

At any rate I noticed they shed fur all over my car. After a few times getting in and out of the car I noticed that fur got all over me too.

I would get in my daily driver and find that when I got out of it I found fur fuzz in that vehicle also. So the stuff gets everywhere. You may want to consider this before going to wild with the stuff. You may even want to switch to another fabric after you experience the fuzz for awhile.

chris400

at least d00d had the nuts to try this himself.......

not pay 8000.00 for the hawks kit, but to rip the headliner out, and try it.

takes stones, i like it!

nix on the dead bunny skins though........

(hey, how about some blaze orange goretex ??????? )

LOL
good job d00d!

Dirty Rob

Not to start even more trouble, but I wasn't boasting about my IQ. I don't even know what it is.

I love how Jim's complete disregard for this kid's feeling just bounced off him like he hadn't heard it...it's been GREAT to read.

And just another thing, for everyone taking cheap shots at him..he came on here, with detailed, great instructions, with the idea of simply HELPING other members. Maybe not the most tactful, but definitely the intention. I think the way some of you jacka*sses treated this kid is disgraceful...even for those of you with a history for it.

thanks azure i completely agree with you man. these d00ds are completely disrespectful.

Is a P.I.M.P.!!! Thats right, show'em how your pimp hand is way strong!! i think it was awesome and very informative... he put up his own way to put on a different kinda fabric other then the bland crappy cloth stuff. Just I.. well have some questions and concerns. #1 I hope you fixed ALL ttop leaks cause animal skin + water = ewww. #2, Is the inside hotter now that you have all that in your car? #3.. dam.. I forgot it.. ill edit late and ask...

Well Azure, I guess you haven't read some of the other threads that kidrcth has replied to. He is a total D*ckNose, and very disrespectful to others for no reason at all. This little girl should be kicked off the board.

therckid

alright for the first question i put water proof fabric all under the fur, if you look in the pics its gray. And so far i did have a leak when w had a big storm come through here, bit i soon fixed it and i have to tell you the fur never wet.

two, no its not hotter at all. It is actually the same tepeature as before.

The only problem is its like new carpet and it sheds for a week. So everyday i've been vacuming it and it stopped shedding finnaly.

therckid

d00d dont even start. that thread, i appoligized for the way i acted. if you would read more often you wopuld know. and also what your guyses obsession with finding every post i make. seems like all you guys search for the posts i've made.


and also this thread was to help the people that read the tech articles and didn't get many of the needed tips. not for all you guys to turn it around into a circus act. I only act this was when i'm provoked to do so.

bigals87z28

its ok Kid.. ya did a good job. I was thinking for your car... if and when you do the seat... put one of thoes vibrating pads in it so you can drive, and get a decent back massage all at a flip of the switch!! hehehehe. just a thought. Dont fret man... There are some people out there, like myself, that want a pure third gen to match what a modern day muscle car should look like... i guess you have your own take, and i can accept that, but its thoes other guys with the clear lights and converted supra air dams and twin fart cans that kinda get on my nerves... keep up the good fight.
