I love the gauges! Check Vintage Air for the vents, I be they have something that will work. Great progress!

Wow! That will be a fun Burb! Are you going to open up the rear wheel wells any, or will that effect your rear seat?

looks like I may have to shorten the seat by an inch but maybe I can squeeze it in there without cutting it. We'll see

I have 20x11 in the rear. I had to widen each tub by 3" (I think). Here are some pics of the cover for the rear notch. I also had to cut about 4" from the middle section out of the 3rd row seat. Hope that helps

Thanks Bret,

I'm further along than the photos show but It's taking me a while to post progress on here. We should definitely meet up sometime. I really like your build.

I know some of these images might be out of order, but I've done a pretty lousy job at organizing them, so just go with it. ;)
