[Copper&Black]

Ya ya, Had a business trip, Needed to do some house work, my girls family is visting and now it gets dark about an hour after I get home from work so that leaves little time. I know, excuses are like a$$holes, everyone has one, and they all stink...

how much dynamat did you use??

6 bulk packs, 36 sq ft each...


I got a couple things going now, pictures as soon as I have some...
-Perfecting the kick panels, and fiberglassing center console pieces to flush mount the alpine screens.
-Fiberglassing both rear cargo areas trim panels
-Retrofitting Acura HID projectors into Denali housings....

HA.... Here is a rough list...

-I need to run 1/0 gauge power cables under the cab to the rear driver’s wheel well and into the cab.
-Fiberglass work on the center console, cargo area panels, and turn the drivers side cargo panel into a sub enclosure/amp enclosure, and house the power inverter.
-Fiberglass the hatch bottom trim panel to have 2 kappa perfects mounted flush into it.
-Once all fiberglass/body filler work is complete, install brand new ultra plush sound deadening carpet.
-Covering everything I can with the 6 jet black leather hides and painting the rest gloss black.
-Install the brand new oem black leather seat covers onto the 05 escalade front seats and 2nd row, and install seats.
-Copper Ultra suede headliner
-Make all my system connections, and connecting the stainless steel buttons on each door and the 6 on the center console to control the door solenoids.
-Install 2nd battery and Big 3
Then the interior will be done.....

Finish painting and assembling my Supercharged 6.0 and picking up a performance built 4l80e
-Pull the stock 5.3 and trans
-install new engine and trans, w/ modified cross member and other mods to get the 4l80e to work in the 4wd...drive shaft lengths, Transfer case rebuild and adapter, 1350 u joints, and probably a 14 bolt once I toast the 10 bolt.


2/3 drop and done....sometime next year

Weren't you the one doing black leather?

[Copper&Black]

Yeah just not there yet, the door panels need a little more love before they are ready for leather. I will be finishing those along with the rear enclosure, b/c they are the same type of work.

A little bit of action today, Made up the MDF frames for the center console's front and rear monitor, and cut the holes for their placement. Everything looks perfect and I will be locking in the frame with epoxy as a temporary tack, then fiberglassing it all in. The protruding corners of the frame for the rear monitor will be shaved down and smoothed in.
