Found on Craigslist in Santa Fe New Mexcio. This is how I first saw him.

After alot of cleaning and starting with a blank canvas, The fun part begins. I stripped the whole interrior and coated it with KBS coating (like POR15). For sound deadening, I used peal and seal from Lowe's (anyone that says that this stuff will peel off in the heat and smells like tar has never used it and does not know what they are taking about.). Suspension was from Wagenswest. Interrior is some Westy referbished and some home made.

Now on to the wood interrior. I'm real bad about not taking pictures during work in progress so here she is as he sits today. Getting him ready for The Classic.
