Ahole Fabs Operation Turd Polish

[RAT]

Ok, so it's not actually a turd, but it is gonna take some polishin...
Danny at Ocean Tire in Hermosa Beach sent this project my way. The owner wants to make it "Surf Board hauling capable". Not my first thought when I saw this but ok, its his Jeep, lets see what we can do. Not sure where I'm going with this yet but I'll post up as I go along. Should be a fun one...

Just arriving at Ahole Fab

Upholstery I think...

That thing is a beast. Gonna keep it mainly stock or go all out? I will keep an eye out on this thread.

I saw the title of this thread and I thought that's not a nice thing to say about Nick's Jeep. :hide:

holy bumpers batman!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

One thing I'll probably be doing with mine, is cutting the fronts of the rear fender wells, so that I can move the seats back 2-3 inches or so. People in the 40's must have been shorter, haha!

She is running, stopping, backing up and shifting. And FUN as HELL to drive. And this is only the beginning.
