dontknowitall Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Beautiful and Very encouraging! How long did it take to date? Well it took in time around 2 years but this was stretched out over 4-5 years as I also restored a 1965 safari valiant for my son.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A. Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Beautiful job. Congratulations on finishing it! I know it will get a lot of attention on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodFru2u Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 That lockable storage door is a GREAT IDEA !! Hope you don't mind if I borrow/copy/replicate that special panel ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 When I was a kid many years ago , I read an article in Popular Mechanics on building a rolling drawer that could be pulled out from the side of under the seat . Open the cab door and then pull out the drawer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Now I wish I had two extra glove box doors. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Great color combo, love it! Looks very clean. That under-seat compartment would be great for storing a side arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Unless you've got that compartment boxed off to minimize content travel, whatever you put in there will always end up at the far end, out of reach I think that's one of Murphy's laws. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontknowitall Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Great color combo, love it! Looks very clean. That under-seat compartment would be great for storing a side arm. That's exactly were it is for, when I go to the range while transporting I have to have it secured by law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can use it two way..either a long- arm over the whole length, it will fit it..or box it of on one side for sidearm or money and the other side for longer items.

FargoMarty Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Believe I saw it parked in the main street of Berry the Friday before last. I was travelling through and couldn't stop, but caught my eye from a distance! Very nice. Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
