Finishing up the inside.
Redid the armrest while I'm waiting for the seats to come back from the upholsterer.

Test fitting it:

Reassembled:
I decided to go with black trim on this one instead of chrome, since there's more black in the cabin than chrome.

Test fitted to see how well the color matches. Almost perfect. :D

Still have to hook up the electrical and air. I'm going to do carpet in the gaps between the console and the floor.

Hope to have the headliner, seats, back carpet, insulation installed, and rear window motor greased by this weekend.

Sneak peek of the Cherokee seats. You can't get the same embossed material for the stripes anymore, so I decided to bring the white stripe on the body into the cab. I think it's going to look pretty sweet.

I've only seen the embossed factory seats from the early to mid-70s once in real life. They were black, in a beat up NT Cherokee and boy, do I wish I grabbed them. Your seats are going to look awesome! The color on the console looks like it came out pretty great, too.

Photobucket is unhappy with you.

A lot of people I know are having the same thing with photobucket today. I looked at their site, and they've recently changed their terms of service. If you are using it to host pics to a 3rd party site (like this one), you have to pay now. The one they recommend comes to $400/year. I guess I'll use facebook until I find another service.

But what's the minimum?

I paid $25 a few months back and mine still work. Was worth it to get rid of the adds.

I don't mind paying for a service I use but it aint worth $400 if that's what it'll be next time.

Imgur is easier to use and sort your pics, and to date, they still only use banner ads, nothing mixed in with your own pics. Also it's still free.

I don't think that was the minimum. It was the one they took me to when I clicked on the link.
