Bought this on Ebay from a Car Dealer in Helena Montana for $1,500.....cost of shipping in enclosed trailer: $1,500.... Watching it roll out of the trailer in Crestview Florida: PRICELESS |
Had the Gladiator paint-matched to my 08 Wrangler and 07 Commander (yep, Looks like Florida State FSU....GO NOLES!) |
even Tiny the Mighty Rat Terrier welcomes the 'beast' to it's new home....and right to the mechanic for a Clutch Kit and then a Paint Job... |
New monster Fog Lights on the Top and Front...and Halogens to see which tree I'm backing up into....and painted the wheels to match the other jeeps.... |
The Paint Shop gang at Rocky's Auto Paint in Crestview Florida |
wiring up all the lighting on custom switches.....and new Warn Lockouts... |
Garnet and Gold on the interior......getting all door panels and carpet done now.... |
Chip Bowdren's |
63 Gladiator Thriftside |
'63 Gladiator Thriftside...just out of the paintshop to match the colors of my new '08 Wrangler X and '07 Commander |
It presently has the 'split bench' seat..which I just put a cover on..but I have the buckets to put into it as soon as time allows... |
the door panels are done...except for some custom diamond-plate metal that I'm going to cut and install acros the bottom for a 'kick plate' |
nice to have it all one color on the inside... |
and to cover the 'strap-marks' on the original headliner...I just happened to have some extra FSU Seminole vinyl cloth...that I folded and hot-glued onto the headliner prior to reinstallation... |
yep...ya gotta love them Noles...! |
rebuilt the carb again...this time with the new Float..and runs like a champ.. |
