Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

Well, shit. At least it's an easy fix since you're wrapping it!

Putting the glove box back together tonight, on the last screw holding the inside cover on, and found out the one I used was too long. The hard way. Of course I decided just then to use the impact instead of hand driving it or else I would have noticed it bottoming out. So I pulled the piece, removed the wrap and sanded out the bump but I ran out of wrap. It will be here tomorrow.

Can't help but laugh at the picture of you putting your interior trim back with a impact.....

Stupid interior paint. It’s just black, how hard can that be, right? I tried my Krylon Fusion Matte Black. Not even close. Went to a local place that sells SEM. I found the supposedly right one, WA167a, SEM 4969. They didn’t show a cross reference with those numbers but said it should be the Matte Black SEM. NOPE. I had to go online and order a can of WA167a from 66autocolor.com. Probably take 2 weeks to get it and it was $34 shipped. Damn.

How much would a replacement door cost? I know a new one from the dealer would be high, but are there any trucks around you being parted out?

I doubt it but on EBay they’re going for $125-150.

If that paint doesn't match to your liking, let me know. I see trucks being parted out all over the place down here. I'd guess they'd let something like a glovebox door go for ~$50.

Early Christmas present to myself. In case I ever get around to trying to mod that cluster lol.

Upper glove box and radio bezel.

Why did you go with brushed aluminum? Just wondering... I had a hard time figuring out if I wanted to cover my woodgrain, but now that I did the whole steering wheel, I guess I'm keeping the wood.
