Some Pre-Car Show getting ready photo's
 
2 Attachment(s)
So I was preparing all last week from about the 20th up to the 23rd for this Car show in Concordia, KS and then it goes and rains what a bummer. :nono::(
Concordia is about 100 miles straight south of I-80 on Hwy 81 it would have been a fun day in nice weather.
Meet with butch49 and hang out at the CarShow.
Doubt I would win much but car shows are always fun to check out the landcruisers.
Got a few shots of some of the updates I had made. :cool:


Door panels were done with panels retrieved from a U-Pull it salvage yard. I also redid the lower panels with some leather from an Old Budweiser Jacket.

Wow tonight the system seems to be acting up, just get the photo's in and then I loose them?
Anyway keep trying to make it work. More photo's
this one is the Rear panel which I had painted a few years back and cleared. I also had bowties for the backup lights and just finished them with red pinstripe. Also added a Indy speedway badge from my visit this July.

So I have been looking thru all the stuff that I have and found a magazine cover with the 3 Car on it and it had these red stripes around the headlights so I thought I would see what it looked like on the light covers. :cool:

Kinda cool... but on the other hand, that red striping is starting to make it resemble the 1960s Batmobile!

You've done a lot of cool customizing. I really like the door panels

you had mentioned your need for privacy on social media, you may want to re-edit the tail light pic, plate holder ;)

?????????????? What I said was the occupation I am not supposed to speak about on media.
I rarely try in intimidate anyone, unless I am racing against somebody, they may wish not to participate for that. But otherwise I think I am good to go!?!?!:thumbsup:

That was an idea the upholsterer lady thought of and we were able to cut up a leather Jacket that was showing some wear and I bought for a real cheap price.
I saw some others that folks have done that they had an SS in or something similar.
When you take the door panel apart it's kind of a pressed wood under the Carpet in the Salvage yard when they get wet they turn to mush!:eek:

There was a fellow who was a Sheriffs Deputy back in the 90's that owned one of the Batmobiles. He was from Bellevue, NE and he used it for the DARE program they had back then. I have inserted a photo.
I think they made 7 of them like the original one that Chuck Barris did, I saw one at a World of Wheels car show in Omaha that was
done in Black Velvet.
