Jerry: I love your flush console trim idea, but at this time what we really, really, really need are the rear fender liners. They are totally falling apart on many of our cars, and every time we have to remove and replace them for PSD maintenance or rear marker access, etc, they get worse.

I would urge you to focus on those first, so that

a. we can order them
b. you won't lose out to someone else who thinks you're never going to finish this project

PLEASE do these rear fender liners!

Did I say PLEASE???

Jerry Feather

Thanks Nicole. I am going to do my best to meet my obligations AND your suggestion.

Nicole is right. Just the other day, I noticed a 50% large chunk of the forward liner in the driver's rear disappeared. It probably deteriorated enough to start flapping around and as soon as it touched the moving tire, *crunch*.

I'm still looking forward to the flush console, not too bothered regarding the liners (mainly because I haven't checked mine!)

^^^ There is not much to check on your car, because you don't have them. They weren't available until 1991.

My suggestion is to get one product done then move on to the next.

Seems that fender liners have a much higher demand than your flush kit.

Shhh.. don't distract him from the wheel well liners.. they're almost there!

Jerry Feather

Thanks for the bump of this thread. However, I have to wonder why. I have fairly well completed this project, at least in its basic intended form. What I found however, was that of the limited interest shown in this thread just about everyone wanted something like it but with this or that modification.

Jimmy helped with some development, which took too long, but which also involved some special considerations that are pretty non-standard and which are not actually complete yet. I sent him enough of the basic concept version to put his car back into service, but don't know yet where he is with that. I will still complete the special aspects of his conversion and send them, but only after I get my other commitments met with the liner project.

Frank wanted some other special considerations for this conversion which I finally decided I was not interested in and I still need to send some of his stuff back so he can do his own thing with it.

Actually Mark is the only guy that had an interest in the project the way it was intended, but given the complexity of having the completion done in the field by unknown people of unknown competence, and the fact that he in not in any hurry, I have not gotten further into his "kit." I'll get to him when the time comes.

Basically, The recent posts in the thread about the wheel well liners is the course that I am on right now and will be for a time yet.

Thanks for your interest, and for the bump.

Somehow I missed this from the beginning and wander through the entire thread today, and now it is game over? That us a complete shame.

If you have any of the proto's left, please let us (me) know.

Nice work, and I was drooling over your machine shop!

Jerry Feather

No, the project is not over and I actually have several of the basic components formed and available to trim out for some kind of finished kit. I haven't really figured out just what a kit ought to be, but that will come in time.

I am just one guy that does this in my spare time from my daytime job and so the production capability is kind of limited. The fact that I am presently concentrating on the liner project does not mean that this project is dead. It is just on a back burner. Let me know by PM just what youyr interests are and if something can be fit in with my work on the liners and I'll let you know where you might stand.

One thing that I think is the best approach to this project is to have you send me your console, or a substitute, for conversion, but that does not mean that is the only way to do this. My main concern about having you do much of this in the field is how we are going to get you to be able to cut the AC vent out of the console and then glue it into the upper insert which will have already been covered in leather. Then is the problem of making an upper insert that will adapt readily to you particular NAV unit, especially if yours is not the same as one I have used in the development.

Thanks for your interest.

Geez. The interest is born out of a few recent threads regarding alternative clock and console threads. If you currently have a five speed, flush, undrilled, shift surround, I would be very interested. Otherwise, I will wait until you bump your own thread.

Jerry Feather

Black, There seems to be a miriad of various interest in things relating to the center console. When I get to it I am going to start a new thread about the analog clock that I have almost completely developed, but because of the need to spend a lot of time with my mill on the basic component for it I have not seen fit to post anything about it. I do have most of the tooling developed for it including a a machine to make a nice plexiglas rectangular-like lens for it. Too, it is likely to be kind of expensive to provide, so given the nature of our 928 market, I have not been too anxious to put the rest of the development time into it when other things are more pressing right now. More about it later.

H Thank you for the explanation.

So if I send you a gift certificate for Do-ALL would that count as trade :-)
