since the previous owner cut holes in the doors for speakers i wanted to blend them in as much as possible. i painted the cone in Ivory and the grill in Fawn.

Had this panel of switches four my trailer hitch that I had no idea what it did so I removed all unnecessary wires from the burb and prepared it for its new stereo system. Also finished my template for my custom speaker box

Cb, In the 2nd. picture, I can understand the BIG Friggin' hammer, but why the axe? That has got to be a hard way to cut the hoses? ;)

:lol::lol: I had to pursuade a few rusty bolts out!! The rubber mallet was no match for the core support bolts. I had the axe with a flat end and gave the bolts a few hard wacks before they broke loose.

replaced the big over sized mirrors with the stock mirror.
replaced the old gas cap with a new locking gas cap that is correct for 65.
removed the plywood to reveal the original wood bed.
painted the bumper and light bezels to get a better idea what it will look like when i get the chromed.
