Interior shots!

I so want to buy a pre-1976 vehicle and rebuild it - for smog/license reasons in California..
 






Not a lot of photos of the interior quite yet. Here are a few. I will have more as I get it completed in the coming months. Fixing up an older vehicle has to be one of the single most enjoyable American past times ever!!

Wow that thing is bad ass! Making me wanna ditch the explorer for one of these. lol
 






JTX,
What engine is that (in your Dad's Willys)? It looks like a 289 Ford but I've never seen exhaust manifolds like that. Did Willys make a V8?

Midnight,
That's an awesome ride. I'm jealous! :thumbsup:
 






Its a chevy v6. Forget which one, ill find out though.
 






Looks Great! Have fun with that Rig!
 






looking good so far keep up good work what seats are those from.
 






Guys, I have to stop hi-jacking this thread. It's not really about my project. Check it out on Pirate4x4.

I really just wanted to post up some inspiration. A project like this takes incredible commitment and we can all use some encouragement to keep going.

Back to JTX's build...
 






I dont mind bro, this isnt much of a build thread anyway. lol. I havent done anything
 






So, how's the project coming along? Any updates?

Here is a picture of mine with 42's on it. I thought maybe this will give you some new encouragement to keep the project moving. Enjoy!!
