I love it !



finally, to really finish emma off, i decided to break down her wheels and goodyear wrangler radial tires and reverse them so that they could be mounted white walls out. I also polished up her factory hubcaps and installed them as well to give her a factory fresh look. This is how a 1969 jeepster commando would have looked like off the showroom floor.

How is the sound quality? I have been considering one for a while to put in an old chevy that I have. I really don't want to cut the dash up for a modern radio.

I got the lowest model, the Laguna and have it hooked up to a single 10x4 speaker and to me, it sounds pretty good. I know they have nicer models and if you have it hooked up to better speakers, I'd have to think it'd sound even better.

Looks fantastic! :thumb:
LOL! Hubcaps! Man, it's been forever since I've dealt with hubcaps! They look great.

Oh my word, they are a pain to deal with for sure but I think they help complete the look I want :yup:
HOT DAYUMN! Emma, you lookin' finnnneeeee gurl! :thumb:

Great work, Eddie. Emma looks fantastic!

Beautiful. Great work.

Yeah, that looks really nice. Good work, Eddie.

She looks great! Nice job!

Thank you :cool:

Nice job on Emma she looks new and ready for the next chapter of her life. Must feel good to have done it all by hand.

Working on her all myself was a ton of fun and yes, very gratifying :)

Looks great Eddie, good choice on running with the white walls out and the hubcaps :thumb:

Thanks! I wasn't 100% sure it'd be the way I wanted to go especially being that it really is a lot of work to break down tires and reinstall them by hand. But, once I got them on, I knew I made the right choice :yup:

Not sure what I like more...the Jeepster or your garage...

LOL!! Couldn't have worked on a project like this without the garage :crazyeyes:

Wow, she looks sexy! great job.

Wow, Emma looks amazing. You did a great job bringing her back to her original glory.

turned out great!

something about the older Jeeps that just look great in stock form - nice job! :beer::thumb:

Looks amazing. Great job on the restore!

WOW!!! Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing such a treasure!

Hot damn! Emma looks fantastic! :rock:

Huge congrats! You should be really proud of that, turned out fantastic.

Thanks guys! I'm almost bummed that I finished :crazyeyes:

Wow. Oh Wow! You need to get her into a parade sometime soon downtown. I can see you and Cindy giving the "Queen's Wave" to the crowd on the curb as you slowly drive past and see the looks of admiration on their faces. Really nice makeover, Eddie.

:cheesy: Too funny Tom. We miss you and Susan :cool:

Now that's looking real sharp! Real good job with your restoration project :clap2: Hmm I'm starting to think more about bed liner for my jeep jk's interior floor.

Honestly, if it were me, I wouldn't trade in my JK carpeting for bed lining.

Really beautiful job. It's great to see a classic brought back to life and not morphed into something else.

Wow, great work! I thought I was not going to like the bedliner in a such a classic looking vehicle, but have to say that it was a great choice here. It looks amazing and should be very durable for her future! Very nicely done, man.
 

JAGS

Hooked
:cheesy: Never knew you were in to PAWGS :crazyeyes:

Thanks - I really need to convince you to work on your FC :yup:

[emoji23][emoji23]

Thank you. I think I'm totally hooked and almost enjoy working on old iron more than rock crawling... almost. :D

I'm gonna buy an old Jeep and just have you work on it. [emoji106] my son will be driving in a few years...is that enough time? [emoji6][emoji23]

Wow looks great! Makes you really appreciate what goes into restoration when you do it yourself. How many total hours were put into her?

I have to agree with the comment from Brute. The garage is nice also. I would love to have that kind of room to work, not to mention to have that lift also.
