Re: '68 SWB - Hauler to Complete Resto
Next up was the interior. Once the tank was out I was able to build a small panel for my rear speakers. Made a cardboard template then on to a plywood skeleton covered with black trunk material and trimmed in leather that would match my seats and door panels.

Re: '68 SWB - Hauler to Complete Resto
Recaro seats I picked up from a friend recovered them in black leather w red stitching, tilt steering, door panels, and fabbed a center console to finish off the interior. I think it turned out pretty good.
