A Teaser - The Duchess' new "Phoenix" GT

[86FIFI]

Hey, not a bad idea. Whatever works I guess. Also, have fun with the dash.

[Donster]

I finished the dash on Saturday. Was going to do it Sunday, but I had to take my daughter to Statesboro to pick up some parts from some guy with two big black dogs down there
 
BTW: Thanks Matt

Big black harmless dogs unless your a bird or small game. Haha. Thank you! And it was good to finally meet someone I had been talking to over the internet and shares some common interests. (These crazy little cars).

Sometimes I would rather deal with big black dogs then crazy little cars

Something new in the Phoenix:
 
Auto-dimming rear view mirror with compass and temperature.
Also has the option to connect to the backup switch, which disables the autodimming.
 
Thanks to Roger for some tips, I got it installed and working in less than 3 hours
 
Unfortunately it turns out that the A/C on the Phoenix is not holding a charge, leaks down after about 2 days 
Poor Anne, Daytona is going to be hot

Time to get some marker die and a UV light.

Now that the Phoenix is back home and running great, I took some pointers from Dewey and transformed the dash and interior doorpanels to black using a special vinyl and fabric color.
 
All black interior is just stylish - in my opinion.
In the pics it still looks greyish (with flash), but it really is a nice black.

Next on the list is all-black carpet and paint job.

More black items added to the interior:
 
Center console with Anne's own logo

 
CF bezels

 

 
Doors look much better in daylight

 
She 's coming together, piece by piece

As of yesterday, the Phoenix also has RKE and trunk popper.

What did you use to clean the interior before you sprayed it?

I would like to know what was involved with the change to this steering wheel, as I have this wheel.  Maybe I'm missing the parts to get the horn working.
