What did you use to match the color for the interior paint? is that some kind of rhino lining? Love the color!

haha, that works too :D

Ok thanks. But since I’m a dinosaur and never use any computer other than my phone I found an easier way. I called my daughter and said “ hey. If I send you a video can you upload it to YouTube and send me the link?” She put it on her channel so if you wanna hear some good bagpiping check out her other videos.

Ok. I’m really getting excited now. My rig is supposed to be delivered in 2 weeks and 3 days. Nick is coming with his family and gonna stay the weekend with me during our local festival. We have a car show along with several other events and I think I have at least ten broncos coming. I’m buying a trailer from Slowleak who is nice enough to deliver it to Nicks shop then Nick is going to tow it to me with a Brand New 1976 Bronco on top of it. The bronco is basically done except the top needs put on and then Nick wants to drive it a little to make sure there’s no gremlins that needs fixed. I’ll post a couple pics in a minute after I crop them so they aren’t crooked

Ok. Here’s the pics. We wanted to incorporate the old houndstooth design in the seats but we weren’t sure how they’d look. I think nick nailed it. The top needed a little extra work since I sent it to him already painted but it had a luggage rack that we decided to get rid of so the holes had to be welded and repainted. Don’t be shy. Tell me what you think

That's beautiful Tug!!!! Can I borrow it for the Summer?...or the winter, since you can't drive it in WV!:)
I love the hot ginger! The interior looks better than an Icon! In the pictures you posted, the houndstooth has a slight green tint, but I think that is just because your eyes are blending the tan and the black together.... You said to not be shy, so I'm picking....;)

I like the body color flares too.

It looks awesome!

Thanks guys. Dennis you’re kinda right except it’s a gold tint but nick assured me that it is tan and it ties in with the carpet beautifully. He says that everyone who’s seen it in person loves it. I haven’t seen it in person yet but we went back and forth in the decision making. And I’m sure you’d have something to trade me that I could drive up here in the winter. Maybe a halfcab with a snow blade?

Beautiful! Love the interior. High back seats look like factory.
P.S. don't let Dennis get near it - it will get "lost" in his collection.;)

Wow, that's a beautiful ride! Great color choices and work done.

With all the changes that can be done to EB's, it's easy to want to change someones vision a bit on what they have created. Not this one. It's perfect! Congrats! I like it.
