Anyone On here have one on their car? I'm trying to get some measurements for one, I emailed Webastro and their Pano is 34x53. I know there has to be some others sizes for these Panoramic sunroofs. I thought about going to the stealership with a measuring tape lol but I figured they wouldnt like that much. I have been searching google and havent been able to come up with anything. Every search leads me back to webasto, are they the only ones making them right now?

No suede for headliner... looks good though.
Hit me back on that PM db

Well I was thinking about going to wyotech or UTI here in Sac. I did a little search on google and read on a few forums on peoples thoughts or experience on both schools and some had some good comments and others not so good. Plus they started talking about prices for these schools and whoa I had to rethink all of this. Now I wanted to mainly get into body work welding, major/small dent repair aligning body panels/ painting etc. Maybe a little on the engine building side I would at least like to learn how to build top end of a motor if I wanted to, and get some suspension/ frame knowledge down and some electrical work. Now I dont exactly plan to do any of this for a living just things I would love to know how to do to keep cost down when I build a car of my own from ground up. After searching through goolge and seeing prices for these schools I know that wouldn't be a good way to go about learning anything since I dont actually plan on pursuing a career in those areas. Would I be better off trying to get on internship type of thing at some local Sacramento shops. I mean I would do it for free if I could just hang around and help out or watch. A relative of mine has a friend that owns a body shop in South sac on power inn but I dont think they do any major custom work like I would like to get into. I think he said they mainly do insurance and quick fix you up and send you on your way kind of thing there. He said I could work around the shop and learn some things but Im not sure how serious he was with it. Thought I would ask on here since I know there is quite a bit of Sac heads on here and just looking for opinions. I dont want to be that kind of guy that drops his rides off at shops to have work done, I enjoy doing the work myself.

Or you could just add on/weld/bolt on another small piece of metal that sticks out sideways a little bit more so you gan still get to it...
Or maybe I'm thinking you want to do something different....
I was actually just thinking that...I'll see what I can do when I get to my auto body class
Just bend that shit out then. Be careful with it tho, my ebrake in my tahoe no longer works after trying to bend it out...things locked in the full up position....makes a nice footrest though.LoL...
-
Yeah its an Automatic, I always use the e-brake though thats kind of the problem....Esp when in San Francisco and parking on hills
-
Anyone have an idea how I could go about making some Kick panels while still having my e-brake? I did a search already nothing came up really so thats why Im making an thread.
This is for an 87 Chevy caprice by the way. It had some 4x6 in the dash but I didnt want those plus I already fiberglasses the dash and shave those speaker hole out of there.
Pics.
Excuse the carpet lol, I have replacement ready to go in.
Im going with some Rockfordfosgate 6.5s by the way.
I also wanted to make an custom grill like this and wrap it so the actual speaker is not seen.
-
I want to bag something and yes it involves big rims, I dont know much about air ride suspension so anyone that can help me please give me an Pm..
I know alot of you dislike big rims and I dont really feel like reading your opinions on the matter. So if there is any one with any knowledge on air bags can you give me an PM..
I want to do something like the avalanche on 30's except Im not trying to lay frame and also with much smaller rims.

71-76 caprice/impala is a glasshouse
In terms of cars with big wheels.... Like I said 71-76 caprice/impala = Donk...
-
i believe he said either gray leather or suede...
I ment like how will they get the headliner to look nice an clean like it was made like it already had a wall? I already assume they will have to cut to fit the Original headliner but will there be any custom trimming that will need to be made to go on it where it meets the wall? to clean the edges up.
-
Mos def will give him a call, got a few rides for him. Thanks again...
I might have missed it(I'll go back a few pages) But i'll ask anyways have you guys decided on a way to do the headliner(I remember you mentioned it) cause of the wall? Or what about the back theres still a lil space left on the roof that needs covering as well right?
-
Can I jump on your dick Steve?
I LOVE THE PANELS....they turned out great..... I love opinions based on inexperience Can we get an No homo thrown in there......wait a min that wouldnt even save you from that line.......J/k
Doors look really great. Ive been following the build on the doors from the start and been patiently waiting for the final product Turned out very good...I know the reason why there were no Seams or stitching at all but damn would that have been even better... Im sure the seats will make up for that.
Meade- This is the same guy that did the Box for the Lincoln and the other caddy with the gator? Katz Kustoms right? Couldn't find it in the phone book and no help with the 411 man those people are so slow. Any help with the addy bruh? Thanks in advance.
-
Thats not an Donk....Thats just an ugly shitty ass car....A caprice impala 71-76 is a donk.
-
I dont want nothing too dark...Maybe 50% on the front windshield with 5% strip maybe lil more then 4in....For those with dark tint on the windshield are your sun visors even necessary anymore lol??
And then maybe 35? or so around the rest of the car,......then myy dad has an all black Monte Carlo ss t-tops...He Gonna put 5% or so on the t-tops and then Im trying to get him to tint the front window I think it would look really good since the car is all black.
In my neighborhood we got alot of young ass hole cops that mostly love to pull you over for small bullshit
-
no smog for cars that are 1973 and older.
far as tint. ANY car with ANY % tint on the front glass is a violation. have a nice day.
Nope its 75, Had to check...This from the DMV website, but then they could have changed it recently so I dont know I got fam that work at the DMV so I'll ask.
Does my vehicle qualify for a smog exemption?Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is:
* Hybrid
* 1975 year model or older
* Diesel powered
* Electric
* Natural gas powered and has a Gross Vehicle Weight rating of 14,001 lbs. or more.
* Motorcycle
* Trailer
But Fuck Im still gone tint it... Anyone have any idea why they don't honor anyones medical exemptions
-
I was on another forum and they were talking about tint for front windows in another state...They were saying something about when the tint law was passed and any car that was in production before the year the tint law was passed it was excluded from the law so that they could have any % tint on the front.
Kind of like how( I think 1975) and older cars dont need to be smogged here.
So since "California Tint Law Enacted: 1999" Dose that mean I can tint anything 99 and older? Just wondering. I will most likely tint anyways I dont really car just wondering.

anyone notice the 1st car "orange one" had 2 different sets of rims ???
GHETTO !!!!!!!!!!~!~!~!
Thats cause he is sponsored by the wheel company its not really a street car too much, more of an show car and have two different sets of 30's out that they want to show people.
remember not all cars with big rims are donks.
Donk is an 71-76 Chevy caprice or impala
Box 77-90 Caprice or impala
Bubble 91-96 caprice or impala
Its a hit or a miss with these cars. Me personally I like it. Its something different besides lowrider or bagged mini trucks not everyones "likes" fit into those categories.
There are some real bad and shitty put together car and some real clean ones even some frame offs out there as well. Some have some real power under the hood and some engines and tranny are barely getting by(poor cars)
That guy in the video was a dumb ass.. Not everyone is dumb like him.
Nice Frame off 75 Vert on 24's

Naw I definitely got the wrong harness...All three plugs should fit in there and they don't they should all fit in there vertically which they dont cause the harness I got is too small and the factory plugs are wider. They fit in there the other way but they dont plug in at all and if they did there still wouldn't be room for the other plugs....I would have like to get this done myself but seems thats not gonna happen. I'm gonna sell this one and buy a new one and have an shop install it for me I guess.

gm has several harnesses out you might of gotten the wrong one as far as the fuses there should be a fuse box near the battery for constant power it is under a black plastic cover if you have the owners manual check it out. that plug should work they only plug in one way make sure you try each plug in in every hole if they dont fit then turn around and try again also do you only have front stock speaker locations there should be a third big plug with a brown a yellow and a light blue and a dark blue wires for the rears unless theres no rears
Naw I got the wrong harness cause these plugs dont work with this harness at all...there are speaker cut outs for the back but no speakers. There were only speakers for the front which are no longer needed since I FB the dash board and shaved the speaker grills.
Good thing I didnt leave the HU in there I was caught slippin last night since someone decided to pop my door open. They didnt get anything cause there was nothing to take anyways...Must have just seen me out side working on something and figured I got HU in there....Im sure they will be back though and I got something for they ass too.
-
LoL, okay...where? I may be able to through some business his way. I got a few people in need of a good interior guy and my dad just bought an 88 monte carlo that needs the seats re done.
? Whats good
-
the white plug with the yellow wire plugs into the black plug with the orange and black wire are in the other two plugs into the big black harness you bought as far as power usually the fuse box under the dash is for ignition power and the fuse box under the hood by the battery is for the constant 12 v power.. check all the fuses under the hood esp if orange wire has no power.
It cant be these that plug into the harness...
The plugs that went into the factory radio.. cant be those cause those dont plug into the harness I bought.
And I did no see any fuse box under the hood next to the battery. must be in another location under the hood.
I LOVE THE PANELS....they turned out great..... I love opinions based on inexperience

I need some measurements of it, the one from the company I just posted is a little big, I would pretty much have no roof at all which is kind of what I want, Im not sure if it would be possible to go with that one.
I had a huge ass cardboard box laying around and made a template of the 34x53 Pano here is how it looks on the roof... I know I know duck tape but the paint on there is completely shit and dont even have clear on the car anymore. Plus I couldnt find my green or blue masking tape.
On top of the roof
Inside how much of the roof that would be left over.
