    This reminds me of the time I needed to change a leaking washer on a faucet in the shower/tub in our 75 year old house only to find the old brass valve was trashed, and the company that made it no longer exists. Six months and tens of thousand of dollars later…. A new tub, copper re-piping the entire house, new toilet, vanity, medicine cabinet, vent fan with heater, mood lighting and WiFi speakers, new tile floor with radiant heating, new frosted window and new door and hardware. All for what should have been a 5 cent rubber washer and maybe some Teflon packing tape. 38:37

      Few years ago my girlfriend spilled spaghetti sauce on the rug. That turned into ripping rug out then removing the hardwood flooring to be replaced with new ,removed a few walls to open up house and ceiling to make it cathedral. New windows and re wired a few rooms. 😊then had to remove radiators where walls were……plastered walls and paint. New outlets and switches.

    Two pieces of advice from experience: 1 Rattle can is much easier with the Rustoleum sprayer. They clip onto all brands of paint. 2 APPLY CLEARCOAT! Clearcoat protects the paint from UV rays and gives you a cleanable surface. Plastics (interior and exterior) should be treated like exterior body panels, don't skip steps while prepping, applying, and finishing.

    I'm absolutely loving this conversion series on your truck it's looking fantastic and I probably don't need to tell you but I learned a tip years ago when using rattle cans if you stand the can In hot water for a few minutes the paint sprays finer and better it certainly works for me

    This scattered series of interior rebuild/upgrade has been interesting. Seeing it come together on a holiday weekend is like icing on the cake! Or should I say the cool whip on the pumpkin pie…🥧
    Your opening choice of tune reminded me of not my circus, not my monkeys…yet the three ring circus you have created with this build has me looking forward to going into the big tent for the main attraction.
    Another name you might contemplate is the Silvercade, main Silverado and Escalade accessories. Either way, nicely done joining the models together.

    A couple of things about hot glue: 1) the darker it is the stronger it is. 2) Hot glue will not dissolve but Isopropanol alcohol will make it let go without dissolving it and leaving a mess. I can't wait to see the Rainman Ray Escradao 1500 Powerwagon badge on the fender.

    Hey Ray,
    I have never posted something. Over the time I noticed that you might have lost some confidence in how you are doing with your channel.
    Just want to tell you what an upgrade it has been since you left the old place. You have taken us along on this endavour of starting you own place and I love the content. My favorate content is where you are challenged. Thinking about the subaru, broken bolts, cramped spaces but also doing your own interiour now. I really like that kind of content.
    And never forget to have yourself a great day, but more importantly, be there for your loved ones.
    In my opinion you are (very close to) the pinnacle of honesty and good form. Both socially and mechanically.
    I do wonder if you will actually read this message though. Hope this reaches you.

    Thanks for the informative content @RainmanRay but as many others have said, you are too critical of what you think are "Boring" videos, i can say for example that as a novice mechanic who only does his own basic maintenance, I know well how to change a set of brake pads but still watch your brake videos every time! Even if its something ive seen before, its the Jokes, Gravity/Chineesium/BrakeCleen Sounds and all the rest you add while your working with your filangies etc that makes us watch as well as the information you share. You will probably find that anything you post will be appreciated but those unusual jobs even if they are boring to a wise mechanic such as yourself that really will be watched! And if someone finds it a little long or repetative .. there is always the option to skip forward a little .. those who skip it completely dont deserve your content!

    I understand the enthusiasm for adding trimparts that are higher than the original vehicle. Way back when I was around 20, I had a 1982 Chevrolet Cavalier Cadet. It was the most basic car I ever owned and was 8 years old when I bought it, but I learned to work on cars driving it. My dad took me to a junkyard for parts for his car and I saw a Cadillac Cimarron and over the summer, pulled parts off it until it was crushed. It was fun little Frankenstein project.

    The extra work is really making that interior look sharp. It will be interesting to see the finished look.

    Awesome! Great ingenuity. A sweet upgrade. Love the Cadillac and GMC Denali parts and retrofit. A very impressive job.

    Having done interior work. I dont blame you for not filming it Ray. It is tedious and agrivating. And not fun. I was surprised when you filmed the other videos knowing how much of a pain this kinda work can be. But as always great content and thanks for the video Ray

    I don't usually like the upgrade videos, but upgrades to your truck are an exception, partially because you figure out how to hack in upgrades, partially because its your passion project rather than for some dude paying you.

    You Ray are a renegade cowboy ! You always get the job done even if it's against normal operating procedures. Like not drilling pilot holes and using hot glue on a plastic painted surface. But you somehow always get away with it ! But many newbies may try it your way and mess up. I've been working on all aspects of anything mechanical since I was a boy and have mees up many times. Now experience tells me take your time and do it right the first time. Great job as always ! Go to a fabric store and find a matching color fabric for the speaker covers.

    I've done similar work and upgrades to my 2005 and it's totally worth it, but I'm always changing my mind or re-doing things until it's finally how I want it. The project never really ends, it just pauses once in a while. You've got a really nice truck!

    Ray this was art and crafts day along with paint by numbers. You showed how easy it is to spray paint the plastic parts of your interior nice I tend to watch all your videos I am assuming this has a factory amplifier,hopefully you installed a new one. Have a good day

    FYI: A little trick on hot melting gluing plastic to plastic (wire/door panel plastic), is to scratch up the plastic a little with course sand paper to create more surface area and increase mechanical adhesion (as in velcro), and also hitting the plastic gently with a benzomatic torch to create some chemical carboxyl groups which also improves adhesion.
    If you are in doubt about what type of plastic you are working with, sand, alcohol wipe, and flame treat for surface prep. (Glue within 30 minutes)

      I bought a plastic repair kit, basically a soldering iron with a flat tip and a bunch of medal staple things to reinforce the break.
      I've used it a bunch already.

      What is the melting templ of the glue? Being in FL the interior can get rather hot.
