Oookay. I found someone who wanted to restore the '77 to its original condition. So it's gone and here is my new project. I'll have this one longer than a month. I promise. :)

Anyway, its a '75 with a 2.5" Duff, 1" BL, 33" BFG MTs. Twin stick... uhmm.. 4.10 gears. Etc. Etc.

My plans:
Centech wiring harness
New 23 gallon tank
Family cage
It came with a stock dash I'll customize for the cage and CD player, gauges, etc.
Once these tires are done I'll probably go with an 8" wide wheel with a BFG AT or maybe KM2.

More pics coming soon. Came with a hard top and bikini skin-type top.

Nice choice. Good to see the other one is going to be restored.

The white flares go well with the white hard top. I should have got some pics of it with the top on but I was too excited to rip it off and putt around. :p:

Put an order in for a bunch of little EB doo-dads tonight. Might have an update this weekend. :thumbsup:
 


















Added some hood struts today. :cool:

Stripped the donor dash down so its ready for bead-blasting. Then I'll do some adding and rearranging and probably get it powder-coated.

Made some progress considering I have twin 13 month runny noses to attend to.

I'm starting with the easy part... I hope.

I turn around for one minute and you have a new one. Lol

I like this one much better. Great find.
 






Fabbin' time! :D

Cut my horizontals. All went surprisingly smooth.

All out!

Glove box moved over.

Tack tack tack tack tack.

Glove box almost smooth and the grille getting started.


Now the reason you swap the glove box and grille is because when you run a full cage the A pillar will be right in front of your glove box blocking it from opening. So this way it moves it over just enough and the grille is pretty much useless anyway. Who needs an ash tray too. That's valuable real estate I'm reclaiming.
