progression is better then regression
Got a few new pics up...link for the quick/lazy. They're just a few teaser shots of how my interior will shape up to be. Majority of the panels are just popped into place. I was anxious and wanted to see what everything was going to look like. I gotta confess, I'm lovin' the look. The grey headliner accents the black and blue perfectly and brightens up the whole interior. Here's the lucky bit, I wanted grey suede that was on the blue scale, to tie into the blue suede, and that's just what I got. On sale too. You see, there are tons of way to make 'grey'. You can have perfect grey-scale with nothing but black and white pigments; or, you can have hints of color giving a really desaturated look. That's what I wanted. I'm a lucky boy so far with this 240...I hope it continues.
In other news, I've been shopping for wheels, er, dreaming for wheels. I think I found some that will really work, MB Weapons. Not only are they cheap, about $165 a wheel, but they come in 18x8 and 18x9 widths. I'd like to get some 18x10s for the rear, but I'll be happy with the 9" wide wheels. I like how cheap they are because, well, I don't want to drop $3000+ on wheels. I found some others the I really like, but they are like $600 a wheel...eff that. Something I quite like about them is that they aren't a double bolt pattern wheel, like you see on most cheaper wheels. Hell, both the wheels on the Ranger and '66 are multi-pattern. With only 5 holes instead of 10, it gives the wheel a much cleaner look. I'll still have to do some measuring to see how these wheels will fit, but I'm liking them.
