Looks awesome. Major upgrade from the wookie pube seat covers. What size are the tires brother?

I wire wheeled the floor and cleaned it good as usual. Then primer. It's sprayed with Lizard Skin as mentioned before.
I started off this morning with bolting in some easy stuff. I had to drill out and retap the holes for the jack rod mounts. That was a pain due to being under the tub rail.

It's too dam hot to be doing this stuff.......but I carry on. Cleaning and painting stuff today. All po holes in the roll bar are welded up and smoothed out. Bummer is one of my wheels was junk....too rusted and had some holes. I have another wheel and a gas tank waiting for me in Tucson.

I'm going to just repair this rust with a patch welded to to the quarter panel.
But if I planned to use it with a hard top would go further. Weight on the weld from a hard top on driving off-road puts a lot of pressure from the weld under the edge of door out. I have a 61 with a rusted rear sill worse than this. The latch on the barn doors is helping to hold it together. That rust looks structural to me more than just patina. I would address it. Arizona rocks and washboard roads act like a hammer pounding on the location of the sill.

Didn't do much of anything today. Stared at it and thought of many things left to do though. Installed the cleaned and painted ash tray and glove box door. Keeping my old new look by retaining the old shift plaque. New dash pad is next. Gauge cluster cleaned up great and I am leaving it in its original paint.
