I'll let Steve's own words describe the work here. My photos of his latest creation follow.
Fellas,
First I would like to thank Scooter again for posting pics at
his site. It says something about this hobby and the people in
it when someone takes time out of their schedule to feature someone
else's work. Again, Scooter, I would never be able to take the
pics the way you can. As I have said before you have the ability
to make my worst efforts look great! My second mod also has my
first attempts at a couple things, a vinyl top and carpeting.
I decided to try the top after seeing the results of Scooter
and others. Scooter, you're right, the top wasn't that hard if
you're careful. I'm pleased with the way that turned out. The
carpet is another matter. I need to find a different glue to
fasten the material, it was too spotty for me this time.
The mod is based
on the 67 Road Legends Z/28. It was White with Orange stripes
and interior.
I bought it from Mike C. from the Stage I board, who by the way
gave me a really good deal on it.
