    Just need the glass for the windows and you're set. Getting any upholstery done?


    BTW, looks fucking badass.

    For the most part the exterior is done, we do need to get the glass and some other final touches and get our decals done.

    The interior still needs quite a bit, we've got to lay carpet, get the seats in, and finish up some wiring.

    The paint colors if anybody is interested are Flat Black and Chrysler Mango.

    It looks amazing. If it were mine, it would have skulls. Lots of skulls.

    Interior and wiring done! Also got the front and rear windshields in. Now it's ready for graphics and we still need to find some sheet rubber for the sling.

    14" steering wheel. On the center top of the dash you can see the horn button for the "La Cucaracha" musical air horn.

    Yep, the shifter and PTO engagement lever both have old beer tap handles. Look to be from the 60s or 70s.
