Great transformation. Nice job on the interior - what material did you use? Excited to see the pictures after paint!

I like the wood jig for rotating the body. Pretty low tech but effective means to keep everything nailed down while you're flipping the tub.

Nice work! What type of heater is that you have in your garage? I've been looking to do something similar. Thanks!

Great color choices 777. It will be exciting to see the final product. Exciting that another member is using their paint booth.

Mike, what the price range for the six point roll cage you installed? Is there someone locally that offers them? Thanks for your input.
