Fresh out of the molds rear bumpers gonna mold these to the body





Flush mounting the Rear Glass and front windshield Have to move the rear glass back 1.5 inches in order to move it up to much work but will be cool







Front windshiel gettin the same treatment but much easier

Fresh out of the mold the fiberglass rockers are getting bolted on for the first time



Drivers side fresh out of the mold



Fiberglass bumpers getting molded into the body Has to make them 2 piece so the lower valance can still be removed







Shot of the bumpers and rockers



Roughing them in you can see the split in them now and will make it almost invisable valance slides into the bottom of bumpers

Made steel rockers first you may spot them in some of the pics then had to fiberglass a steel piece with studs I made in it across the top to bolt it on and for strength. used the steel rockers for my mold so I can remake them if I ever needed to. Bumpers are made from the steel originals But it aint easy dont know if I ever want to try that again LOL

The innercooler going in this thing will get twisted turned and finally go in upside down LOL





The start of a new idea

The Dakota Gauges are cool there gonna really look good once the safty plastic comes off





Starting to figure out the interior panels and raised panel patterns



Steering wheel is a half wrap gonna be cool when the material goes on and the to A/C vents are in the dash. Also you can see how we cot the dash pads down here and molded the dash to match the pads.



Interior door panels and made some new arm rests to go with the theme gettin closer to getting wrapped



A/C controller Kustom made think I am starting to see a pattern here. Going below the stereo screen
