Zen. I got that frozen adjustable beam apart today. It took my truck, a tree, a chain, a come-a-long, 24" adjusable wrench and a 6 lb. deadblow. Even with all that I think I can use it for Ryan's car if I get the bearings out and replace them with a urithane bushing kit.

Well, it is home and we will strip the old headliner out and get cracking on the new one today. I got all the new rubber and glass in the drivers door last night so it is air/water tight, well at least untill we strip the old headliner out. The paint came out great. I would recomend Dave and Shannon to anyone looking for paint/body work. www.autobodypaint.net :agree:

Headliner and glass are in. We had some EMPI 1/4 window rubber and WCM front and rear rubber. Had to make a 1 hour drive to Herrel's Bug Parts to get WCM 1/4 window today after the EMPI rubber split trying to install it. The WCM rubber went on like butter. The Empi rubber went on the glass hard and never got completely in the car. My hands hurt bad today from fighting window rubber and pulling the installation cord. But it is all in and most of the trim is on. I just covered it up and I need a nap. To top things off Kustom 1 sent the wrong seat covers for the second time. First time all the int. kit was black except the seat covers were off white (ordered an all black 73 kit). This time I got 70-72 black seat covers. New ones are on the way after some @$$ chewing on the phone.
I hate stupid people. I will never order from them again. If Herrel's would have had what I needed I would have bought the set from them.

i have only heard a couple of stories about them, but they all had the same theme and same level of customer service...none. always try to put shipping charges on the customer for their misshipment. i have no direct experience with them and not planning on it.

Well the seat covers came yesterday and the front seats are covered and need to have the backs put back on. I have stripped the rear frames and need to get some food and pick up the shop before I get back to it.
All the rubber is in and I am waiting for an intake to be welded to install the engine. The deck lid is done and waiting for the engine to go in. I need to swap the front beam and weld a patch in the rear floor also. The audio stuff showed up 2 days ago, so I need to make a rear cabinet too.

Seats are covered. I will put the backs on the front seats today and try to knock out the speaker box.

I ordered a whole mess of rubber from them and ordered either WCM or German which ever was avaiblable. I also order a WCM dash from them and they sent me a cheap piece of crap one instead and still charged me for the good one. When I called up to ask what was up, they told me the WCM ones were on back order and they didnt have any in stock (so did they make a mistake by sending me a cheap one or did they try to pass it off, seeing as they knew they were on back order?). Then they tell me to send it back and they will send me a new WCM when they get them in. Well I sent it back to them and they call me and tell me that I destroyed it (which was a bunch of BS). Told me that I folded it in half and put it in a smaller box then they sent it to me in. I told them if that was true, then UPS did and not me. In the mean time I called WCM directly and ordered one from them and asked them if Kustom one was a dealer. They told me that they were no longer dealers as of 3 or 4 months before I ordered from them and that they were probably getting WCM products from other avenues other then directly from WCM. So the moral of the story is I wont be ordering from them anytime soon. BTW, the owner was a complete a s s to me on the phone and I had to get irate with him to get anywhere.
