mini UPDATE 8: STARLINER...............No Guts No Glory!!!!!

Guts....Interior....get it? OK, it's lame.

Pedro brought the interior over to Alex's shop today. The blue fabric is '58 Cadillac to play off of the light blue pinstriping that will go around the panels. The white is regular old white vinyl. Ah, then there's the pearl insert that matches the steering wheel and the gauge cluster. The subtle secret weapon.

I wanted to keep the interior pretty simple because the exterior is over the top.

Anyway, here's this week's mini update...

 

Damn Kirk, thats looking sweet. Love the steering wheel

 

you an alex are a couple sick fuckin freaks dude

SHIT this car is gonna rule, an i thought the green machine kicked ass!!!

 

simple HUH so!! is it going to be in SACTO on thursday?

John

 

Freakin Awesome......stunning match on the pearl......was that wheel from Pearlcote in Aust????

Did I miss the post about the cluster?...or are you just teasing us now???

 

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Kirk, seriously nice freakin car. I am equally impressed every time I see the updates.....Nice job......Lucky

 

This car is turning out to be one of the slickest Starliner's ever built..
Very nice choice of interior color's, and the added pearl is without a doubt a secret weapon..
VERY nice Kirk..very nice.

 

Crap....I was over there yesterday, and meant to check it out....but forgot!!

Looks great Kirk, can't wait to see it finished.

 

damn thats friggin bitchin !!

 

KIRK! are you going to have it at Santa Maria?

 

Simple, yet effective, looks good, the pearl in the panels will play well off of the steering wheel.

This car gets better every time I see it!

 

Kirk, That is just sweet !!!!

 

Where can the pearl insert material be obtained from? I've been lookin all over for some to use on a dash insert.

 

Looking really nice can"t wait to see it put together.

 

thats one of those paintjobs that when it gets scratched, you just start crying.

 

you are a dick.

 

Right on with the interior being simple, but not too simple. Its not everyday that someone will come across and ivory wheel with matching invory pearl inserted door panels. It keeps the eye trained on the exterior, which is the cars point, but doesn't disappoint in the least when you move inside. Nice.

 

Still going to try for Autorama in Sacramento? Or have to wait since doing it right the first time takes longer than planned.

 

awesome

 

Thats cool for a complete homo.

 

the epitome of exemplar unmitigated paradisiac perfection

 

I too will miss all the updates! kick ass car!

 

Awesome, Kirk! Keep the updates coming. I know you well enough to know you could give a shit about awards and attention, but this thing will obviously get some major play everywhere...as it should. Be ready for the fame!!!!

What a sweet ride! I love what you're doing with that big FoMoCo! I can't wait to see the finished result of your project!

 

Looking goooooooooood!

 

Love the interior, that car is going to be real sweet all together.

 

Bummer, but, no. We are now looking at Blackie's show.

 

Its obvious that no short cuts were taken. That car is magazine bound!!

 

I started to squeeze a few tears out over your threads Kirk...It's almost as amazing as the Mona Lisa..
