Looks great Tom. Check your texts. I was wondering what's a good day for me to come pick up the top?

The interior is slowly coming to an end... I I'll be very happy when it is all finally done.

Yes Tom! That is one of the best looking custom interiors that I have seen in a Bronco! I like original, but yours really looks like a million bucks!

The interior is looking good. I like how the door panels turned out.

Thanks Chad! My dream to reality is looking a lot better than I hoped for sure.

Thanks Dennis! I def wanted something to somewhat resemble it had come out of the factory that way, not too complicated but refined. It still needs a few tweaks before I am completely happy with it but it is getting there.

The seat belts were sourced on eBay, I believe they are hummer surplus. We had to unstitch them and sew on the correct male connector to match the receivers which are all attached to the seats. As for the carpet, it is a tan color, not sure what it is called, I just looked through samples and tried to pick a color that would work with the color of the leather.

Well Duck fans, if you want to see it in person, it will be at Fall Fords next weekend in Townsend, TN. It is not 100% just yet, still needing some tweaking on the upholstery etc. and after a meeting with Thomas from Krawlers Edge, it will be getting a major suspension upgrade with his Quadlink rear suspension. Having so much power on tap, it is just not a good feeling when you drop the hammer and you can feel it squat and the rear roll on the WH 11 pack springs. Looking forward to the upgrade, will def. be featuring his suspensions in some of our future builds as well so stay tuned, it will be going back under the knife very soon...

Shameful self plug, be sure to vote #56 for the calendar. The Duck would be great ful! LOL

A few more updates as well, it is up and driving, bugs are being found and worked out. Interior is almost 100%, the lower part of my door panels are going to be redone again due to the pocket on them and not happy with the outcome but between me and my upholstery man, we think we have a plan of attack that will give the the finish I envisioned. I have the fiberglass speaker panels from Bronco Hut and the little pocket on the is a pain to get lined and looking right. Headrests are installed, back seat foam has been reworked and front trim panel at the hard top is installed. The list of things to do are dwindling, I still need to buy the visors and I am going with a set from icon as well as this winter I am building a spare tire carrier for it.

The first pic is dog and ducks. Her name is Myra and we recused her from a puppy mill. She was caged her whole life and has had her vocal chords clipped. She is a very affectionate girl and has become my shop dog.
