So I got the transmission somewhat bolted in with the Old Speed drop plates on. From the looks of it, this will be the ride height in the rear.

I am making baby steps, but steps forward nonetheless.

I got my front tires mounted 175/55 contis.....definitely showing me what it is going to look like on the ground.

I finally found some Mexican blankets......on line. They were only $9.99 each from some yoga site. Probably cheaper than buying them local.

I also mounted one seat belt in the middle row for my kids. I will finish the other one tomorrow.

My son also made a quick video using is ITouch. I think he is going to be the videographer when we get this beast rolling.

let me know if you want to borrow my hog ringer. You could make those blankets tuck and mount like seat covers.

Hey scott,
you can get hog rings locally from Western Upholstery in denver off of i-70 and steele st. they are an awesome source for upholstery stuff. That is where we bought some of the stuff when we did my bus interior.

The bus is comming along nicely. The colors on the mexican blankets work really well with the stock interior.
