    Great build, I was digging the worn chrome rims and tires out stance, for a later 60s survivor vibe. That chrome will clean up.
    Im sure you have a vision, lets see more.

  3. I agree, those chrome back rims made it look down and dirty.
    In a good way.

    I tried really hard to clean them up to be presentable, but they are bad. The pictures make them look WAY better than they actually are.

    Heater, 8-track player, carpet and kick panels in. Lots of dust/dirt and general crap from the install I’ll clean up, as until I took the picture, I didn’t realize how filthy it was!!!!

    Right on - fresh paint, killer stance - you are dialing it in.

    I cant tell from the pics if the interior, is this an older interior? Ive had good luck with murphys oil soap reviving older interior leather and vinyl. Its very mild.

    This is all new pre-sewn diamond pleat material. My daughter and I sewed it up together. So it’s just a matter of getting in there and cleaning it with some vinyl cleaner.

    3227CF43-B878-45A5-ABB3-99438CA94007.jpeg Finally got it finished up and put in our local Spokane Speed and Custom show. Need to do some alignment adjustments, and finish wiring up the head and taillights, and she’s all done.
