Well maybe we'll get to hook up at next years Cruising the Coast.

I got the hinges at the cheapest place I could find and that is http://airbagit.com/index.php?cPath=220_225. I had to cut them to fit the way they do.

The gas shocks are off of the rear hatch of a 1995 camaro. That back hatch is as heavy as our old hoods.

I'm not for sure but I would be willing to bet it came out of the same sweat shop in China as the AIM one.

The seats are a combo of new ford and chevy seats. The material is out of an 07 eddie bauer explorer and the design and stitching is out of an 07 Tahoe. With a little of my design and alot of the upholestry mans design. You would never guess that the upholestry man is an old red neck that lives down a single lane blacktop road in the woods. If you met him you wouldn't think he could pour piss out a boot with the directions on the heel but he can turn out some cool stuff!!!! Oh yea and he is very resonable on his prices.
