$200 Mazda Miata Project - Ep.22 The Easiest Way to Flock Your Dash!!

[@ivorwm2291]

Every home should have a carpet and furniture shampooer

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Agreed. Thanks for watching.

[@CWU2006EOY]

I have never seen a dash flocked before. You guys did an amazing job. It looks outstanding.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you! It was one of two options. The other option is to buy a dash carpet, but Kelly was really against that idea. Thanks for watching.

[@deadpedalgarage6457]

That interior is coming together nicely guys. The screw is accessable from the top of the door weather strip you just have to spread the channel to see it. It keeps the weather strip from folding over the edge when the door closes. I also tore a couple til I figured that out, lol. And I think it's just 2 bolts at the top of the steering column you're missing that bolts it to the bar in the dash. They go through the weird aluminum spacers. If you unbolted that before you unbolted the lower brackets at the pedals you may have bent the lower brackets out of shape. So you might have to force them back into shape to get everything lined up again. (That's also from personal experience)

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks TJ!! I just spent another hour or so getting the seats in and after a deep breath, the steering wheel went back in place without an issue. Thanks for the tip on the weather stripping!

[@scrappiron6347]

Yall make some of the best videos....but I never thought I would meet a real life Z from the movie " Monster House"....😃👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛🤝🤳

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

We had to look up who Zee is. 😂

[@williamknell864]

Simple Green is good stuff. Good to have Florida sun to dry those wet seats!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You got that right!

[@IvMacCuts]

It's coming along y'all!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!

[@NappMotorsports]

That fuel pump should be ok. The bigger pumps (DW200 and up) don't run the rubber isolators. I'll DM you about the steering column since I'm not entirely sure what your issue is. Also that's the cleanest roll bar cut for the trim pieces I've ever seen. I'll have you come do mine when I put one in the K Swap.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks. I thought that fuel pump was ok. It's rock solid. The issue people have when cutting the trim pieces is that they are using the wrong tool. Granted, my angle grinder with a cut off wheel did more melting than cutting, it's still the way to go. I read about a bunch of people using tin snips. Get out of here with that nonsense. Those don't even cut metal well!! Thanks for your help!

[@JC-hx6md]

...yours truly!? That was funny! First off, hope all is ok with your neighbors, figure you guys must have a good relationship with them if you mention them, second, you guys got a lot done and man the Miata is looking damn spiffy! Kelly did a great job on the seats and the dash looks wicked good! Great stuff guys, and yes the XDD hat is badass!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks JC. We have some new merch. We are really bad at telling people about it. Lol. Thanks for always watching!

[@gottatinker3363]

left you a parts breakdown for steering column on ur facebook....maybe it will help

[@baeipperle]

Just binged this series today and yesterday to catch up. What a great team you guys are! Mentioned to my wife that we should build her a project car as well, but im guessing I won't be as successful. Hahaha. The Miata is looking mint!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Wait until your wife sees our finished product!!! She''ll definitely be down for some wrenching in the garage after that!!

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Digging the progress! Coming along nicely

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you!

[@Dre_Zoom]

Another great video! I've been so invested in a project!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Carlitto!!!! Thanks for watching and remember....Real G's move in silence!!!

[@carstudy9394]

Been here since day 1, inspired

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank for watching!

[@מדינט]

Great job guys.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!

[@gottatinker3363]

wow!...that flock does look good. i have heard that a respirator is Highly recommended though because that stuff is bad for ur lungs

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yeah, that's probably a good suggestion. I will say that we didn't have any issues.

[@ToolsOutsideTheBox]

That’s an airbag trigger on the passenger seat. Check YT videos on replacing the foam in your seats. Maybe get seat covers

[@waynemandryk6479]

All I can say is wow,that flocking looks amazing 👏 great job guys! Also holy pain in the ass with those window trim pieces....great 1st video back!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you!! Thanks for watching!

[@peteciurczak5132]

You guys rock!!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!

[@chrisbellevue]

I'm loving the progress! It's lookin goooooooo'👌🏾

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks Chris! It's amazing what a little paint and dye can do!

[@CWU2006EOY]

I am also very sorry to hear about your neighbor.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you. He was a really cool guy and was really into our Miata build. He was always stopping by the garage during his afternoon walks. He was an old road racer who had a simulator in his house! We'll miss him.

[@CWU2006EOY]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers I am so, SO sorry to hear of his passing.

[@cvang1862]

Did not see the XB in this video. Did you sell it already? Oh no.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It's there. It was hiding.

[@gottatinker3363]

that little rubber piece (fuel pump) is to dampen and vibrations from the pump when it runs.....

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yes, but is it necessary?

[@Thompsongs]

What about the rusty places on the floorboard? Are you not concerned about those spreading?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That's nothing to worry about.

[@Thompsongs]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers ah, very cool. Good to know. I guess I'm more paranoid about such things since I live in a state where the roads get salted (sadly).

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

If that's the case, you should be more concerned than me. Mine isn't bad, tho.

[@Thompsongs]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Absolutely. I have one vehicle (a Mazda, but not a Miata) that isn't driven in Wintertime specifically because of that.

[@jasonposada3250]

You should of taken the glass off with it and swapped it into your door and saved the weather strip

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It doesn't work that way, unfortunately. The good news is that you can still get the weather striping new from the dealer, but we don't want to do that until after the car is painted. Hope you are doing well, J.

[@Tpaardek]

There is some rust on the floor of the car. Can you just leave it there like that? Or is it lazynes.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It's nothing. It will be fine. Thanks for watching.

[@dailydrivendiecast]

👍👍👍🌵🌵🌵

[@gottatinker3363]

buy a cheap dashcover off ebay, it will look nice and hide all your glue repairs!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Trust me. I have been suggesting that for a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time! Kelly doesn't want it. We'll see what happens.

[@KMA224]

Haha! We’ll see how this flocking holds up!

[@ep91monster]

I'm a professional flockist. And that is most definitely NOT how you flock. All of these "diy" jobs with the brush on glue and flock applicators give the whole flock thing a terrible reputation for looking crap. You need to use an electrostatic HIGH kv applicator. Which puts out minimum of 30kv of voltage

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for tip, but it's not terrible. We used a flocking kit, and followed the directions. Thanks for watching.

[@ep91monster]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers might not look terrible on camera but it will in person! What you have done isn't even flocking. Flocking is the process of fibres being negatively charged and attracted to a grounded substrate, so that they stand on end. All you've done is puff fibres into glue. Its not flocking at all
