This project included an Off-Road Conversion and total restoration of all major components...

Restoration from beginning to end:

From beginning...
The process begins by disassembling the body. All body attachments and hardware inside and out are removed
from the body - including doors, hood, fenders, seals, hinges, carpeting, seats, bumpers, dash, etc.

The interior receives new headliner, new gear shift boots, new seals around doors and new window channels.
Many other interior details are performed, from new foot pedal pads to new stereo / antenna / speakers.
Dash pull knobs are all lubricated and refinished.

Undercoating - Wheels and tires are removed, Frame, axles, leaf springs, and tub are high pressure
steam cleaned, wire brushed & prepped. Undercoating is then applied to wheel well areas & under body tub,
and black enamel finished for a better than original look.

improper shifting or functioning in all gears, and totally rebuilt.
