UPDATE!!!!!

Today has been a good, good day...

To start, I made some headway on the armrest, but came to a point where I might change it again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/idea.gif.5acb6a39a9b92425414c316dda202bad.gif

Then, Circuit City called and offered me the job after 5 interviews...so, starting Monday its Home Entertainment sales

And then, [Plug] I got a spot as a sponsor for http://www.caraudiojunkyard.com and am setting up a sort of storefront over there. So if you guys want some continually updates prices as well as some group buys...look it up [/Plug]

PICS!!!

Old ring was too big by .25" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif so heres the new one...

I just had to...

Ring done, but not rounded...got rounded later on the table, no pic of that...

Flush mount ring sits perfectly...

Space for fabric and layer of mat...ahh snap

And just follow me on this one...and try and guess what it is before you see it...

An inset handle in the armrest!! I kinda like it...

Thats when Circuit City called and I went to sign the papers in board shorts, a ragged t-shirt and covered in saw dust b/c he was leaving after I signed them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Last pic was after rounding and a lot of sanding to get it even and perrrfect.

Also note, that handle that extends to the door is going...I dont like it and it doesnt sit right on the armrest...

/Update....again, lol

NEED OPINIONS!!!

Going to try something on the back piece of the armrest assembly...

Instead of a solid piece against the door, it would be 2. one at the left side of the inset handle, and one to the right of the inset handle. Behind and below the inset handle, it would be nothing...just air and an area for your hand to fit to pull the door...

follow?

Small update...

Decided to give my idea a shot and I like it. Also made a new handle. Pretty sure I'm sticking with this design for the final products. Also got a free gift from Lowes thanks to a rushing associate...

PICS!!!

New handle trimmed up, waiting for A LOT of sanding to get the shape I want...

And this was my idea for the inset handle...

Made a lowes run for necessities and toys:

Paid for this...

DIDNT pay for this...

Cashier mis-read the number cause I sure wasnt picking it up to have her scan it just to put the shit back. She said "ok, the sirens going to go off but you can just keep walking." Did just that...walked outside thought...****..."was my bill $28?" HAHA yup! and what gets me is the siren didnt go off...w00t

Close ups of New armrest...

And the door ready for glass...
