This was a used up parts car...the headliner ans a few other bits was all the interior I had. For me the dash feels more normal than the stock brat.

Nice Brat! Did you have any rubbing issues with the front tires?

I widened the wheel arch 3 inches before painting. The body is raised about 3 inches on the Blazer chassis. And I still had to trim 1/2" inside the wheel well. There is no rubbing stop to stop. Before the Jeep wheels I had stock 15" Chevy Blazer wheels....no issues with them.

I always remember the seats they had in the beds of these cars. Nice work on the restoration!

Thank you. I took the seats out to make room for the spare tire.

Looks like a fun little offroading toy! Never expected to see that dash in there! Well done!
