I had painted the seats the same sandalwood color as this top, but it just didn't look right so I went back and did them in satin black. The stance is a little higher than stock because I located the rears under the leaf springs rather than on top. The winch bumper came from one of those tomb Rader modern jeeps. The winch is from one of those1984 GMC pickups if I remember correctly. Still needs a bit of paint detail.
Jeep seems to be coming down the home stretch . Had to do some choping work on the body, frame and radiator in order to fit this small block. Still need to work out the headers, exhaust and detail work.
Because of a pretty bad first attempt at lettering my tires, I would like to go back and try it again. Now I could just turn the tire around and do the other side but if its too noticeable I know I'm gonna lose sleep over it. I thought about going back and trying to correct it with black acrylic paint.
Thanks. I'm using these tires you see on the front and thinking of these wheels or the ones on the rear. I was hoping I wouldn't have to lift the suspension like I did on the orange Blazer but it looks like I might have to.
Coming along slowly. Test fitting the small block for the Jeep. Went with the vintage looking fuel injection lookin intak for the orange Blazer. 2nd Blazer in triple black.
Great detail work on the 440 six pack. Its nice that that engine came with this model. The didn't Hemi you to death like with every other Chrysler product out there. Do they give you a choice of the '69 Bumble Bee tailstripe on the decal sheet. I too am exited about this build.
Very nice. I had a '69 many years ago but I always loved the '67. Mine was saffron/black int. Great job. Today everything looks like a melted jellybean.
