At this point some of the interior work can begin. Dave, from 'Custom Interiors by Vos' gets going on the headliner:

There was a lot going on with the build at the same time at this point, so apologies if the pics bounce around a little...

With the truck in the final assembly room, Jon got to work on the board racks and hand tooled tie-down straps.

As mentioned, Jon also tooled the leather to tie in with the seat pattern - this is pre-dye:

Another home run for The Roadster Shop.

I love this build. It all looks amazing, especially the floor and console Teak work. Did you guy's ever build high end boats????

LS7 Z/28 11-19-2013 09:22 PM

You guys have some amazingly talented people working for you. Everytime I check out one of your builds they are truly a work of art. Keep it up because it's inspiring.

Time for a few new pics:

Amazing guys!! :thumbsup:
Those wheels and wheel centers go insanely well with that green. What color is the green? (I think you said it was custom at one point.) What about the wheels? What color did you guys paint the centers?

Musclerodz 11-21-2013 05:43 PM

I missed the surfboard instruction sticker at SEMA. LOVE IT!

Thanks - the centers and bumper colors were also custom made. We did a few sprayouts before settling on this combo.

lol - most people probably missed it.... We put it on the upper tailgate so you could see it when it was open. Little did we know that when it was actually backed into the booth and the tailgate was opened, it sat about 6" from a wall in the booth so nobody could see it...:wacko:

"Yeah man, so like when you are totally garshed from ripping big mammas and bodacious tubes, make sure your stick is, like, totally tight on your rack or it’s gonna wreck." Imagine me saying that in my best Cali-surfer dude voice.
