Christmas came early for me this year. Two things arrived for Dragon today.

I'm just waiting for my wife to get home with the camera so I can post pics.

I'll be back in a bit.

First off it must be stated that I approve of the # of "T"s!!!


[he gets an exemption on his forum name. {yes, he did petition the court!}]

Nice on the 3rd row too as it appears you got all the necessary items to make it work! You know, you should probably make a pictorial on the whole conversion process from start to finish.
Nice Christmas already there Chad......

I don't think there was any more room for the extra T anyway. Didn't Frank the Tank name his Trans-Am "The Red Dragon" too?

Looks like it made it there OK, I was nervous about the side panels. Packing could have been better. Sure was a pain in the nads, but it was worth it knowing it was going to a member who would appreciate it.

Santa is helping me upgrade away from my 12 year old oil less air compressor! May even be a 7.5 hp Ingersoll Rand, or I might just build one.

Wish I had taken more pictures of the whole process to help make it less of a puzzle. Life is rather Hectic most of the time around here....

Merry Christmas!

nice-

the only question I have on the third seat is how do the headrests fit in the existing seats?

looks like a good weekend project, congrats.

impressive... very impressive

That's astounding, Chad. I thought the Red Dragon looked pretty good already. It's really going to be nice once you've finished the upholstery.

Thanks guys.

My MIL is here watching my kids today. I was so excited by the results of the SEM Color Coat that I bored her with a detailed explanation and side by side comparison.

She's a good sport and acted very impressed.

Wow Super cool! I love our 3rd row seat - the in-laws are in town from Canada, and we are getting a lot of use out of it!

I am sooooo jealous of the headrests - it is on my wish list!!!

So, that SEM stuff sprays on? The Leatherique I used on my car could be sprayed, but it doesn't come in a spray can. I painted it on with a brush, but your appears to have been sprayed.

I can always count on my forum family to be there for me with support and genuine interest.

Yup, it sprays on and came in aerosol cans. It covers really well and I think the 3 cans of color coat I bought will do the complete third row seat and all associated pieces in the earlier pics I posted, plus have left over to do some other interior stuff. At about $10 per can, it's worth every penny.

If I had to guess based on what I've sprayed so far, I'd say it's going to take 8 or nine cans to do the entire interior (carpets excluded). I'll update that actual data once I finish everything.

Zeke, I still need to get the hardware for the 60/40 seats to be able to use those headrests. I'm just waiting for Asnowsquall to get the time to pull the stuff I need and ship it down here.
