I did make little soft rubber plugs that fit into the scoops should i have to hose it down to get it clean.

      I am interested in hearing about said process of washing a car without water.

      There is the chance of getting caught in the rain although i will not be driving it if it even remotely look like it could rain. You cant predict mother nature. I am sure that i will have to do a traditional water and soap wash occasionally as they do pick up debris from the road that will require washing.

      That upholstery looks fantastic.
      Cars are meant to be driven.

      Thanks Cam. I wanted something different than the stock type interior but still wanted it to look like a 67 mustang inside.

      Sharp looking. Brown is definitely an under-represented color in the automotive world. And tan ain't brown, it's yaller.

      Seats are Procar Rally 80-1000. Got them from summit and stripped the factory vinyl off.

      I like the rear seat finishing. Guys always get so excited to have the fold down back seat and yet I see them always laid down anytime I see one of these cars. Might as well have fat tires and it permanently laid down like yours. looking good!

      thanks! Getting the 345 rear tires and a clean rear seat area were both important to me.
      Its just me and the wife now so I don’t need a back seat.
