Wow looks very nice great color combination with the highland Green exterior really pops!! that is highland green right?

 

[dalorzo_f]

What manufacturer (assuming TMI) and how well did it go in?

Going to be converting a standard interior to deluxe soon and wondering what dramas may occur... other than dying a lot of bits for Ivy Gold '68...

 

[Ruppstang]

Very nice Neil! What will you do next?

 

[franklinair]

Now I'm in the middle of:
Repairing belly landing damage to a Cessna 177RG
Installed new Edelbrock 500 CFM carb- and discovered (finally) distrbutor malady.
Installing new PB booster & MC. (Converting to PDB)
Installing A/C compressor, condensor, converting to R-134.
Removing grille & trim pieces for A/C work, and paint correct color.

Very nice work Neil! As always, you're a true artist. Did the console base originally come in black for the nuggett interior? It really makes it "pop".

I did the console base in Dark Nugget Gold for the contrast, and to pick up the browns on the door straps & woodgrain dash. Just a personal preference.
I also kept the standard armrests, as I don't care for the Deluxe/Shelby ones.

Neil,
Can you shoot me a pm about what parts are needed for a a/c conversion like you did for me for the clutch fan conversion. I just received all that in and will be installing it once I paint the engine compartment.

WoW Neil, that looks really great, and very nice to see that your personal preferences look so damn good. Keep up doing what you enjoy.

Wow Neil, I'm no aircraft expert, but I love the way you made that Cessna interior look just like a CS interior. That thing must really fly. LOL.
