Man, that thing is going to be killer when you get it together. What's your plan for the interior?

Thanks Man ! Interior will be pretty basic, black bench seat brown carpet, thinking about doing door panels black. I have a working factory radio that I'll use in the dash, and have another up to date stereo hidden.

Check your local auto glass supplier or body shop. I would think you could get it for around $300 to $350 installed. My local body shop hooked me up with an independent installer when I needed a piece made for a Bob Cat door he made it and installed it for $50.

That's looking great, awesome color just like everyone else is saying. I just had front and rear glass installed for 320 at a local place, I supplied the gasket, so I think you should be able to come close. There is a huge markup on glass so don't be afraid to ask them if they can do better after you get a price.
