Wow! so much interest. I will keep you posted.
No vinyl. I also had the roof painted after sanding it smooth. Purists won't like it but I do. I had the underside painted with black bedliner. It came out amazing. I will post a picture. The engine is 4 cyl. 103 x 78. By my math that is 103 x 103 x 78 x 3.14159 = about 2.6 litre. It is a 1970. The metal work was expensive and set the project back a little. |

Really like the color & 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Just a suggestion: You should consider (1) coat of clear over the Black Bedliner. It's easier to keep clean with little effort when dirty. Tom |
