I liked it because it is a 70's era college style decal. I would take this car to tailgate on pretty fall days. People literally followed me to my parking spot just to look at the Wagoneer. Women really love this Jeep as much as guys do!\r\n\r\nI am not sure if its worth keeping the original photo of the Wagoneer PRIOR to the restoration on the listing or not. It seems that people are commenting on it as if it is still the current restored car. It is amazing to have such detailed critiques and yet some can't tell that it is not the completed current state. I may request to have it removed. I only did that so everyone could tell it was a solid good car and not resurrected from the Graveyard.....\r\n\r\nNew Bern still is as you described. Its only better!\r\n\r\nI installed the three point seat belts in the front. The rear does not have them installed. I do have lap belts for the rear for three people. They will ship with the truck to the new owner. They are also Chocolate in color and were ordered at the same time with the front set. I just did not want to have them distracting from the interior when I had her in car shows.\r\n\r\nI made the custom front tag using the same wood grain and purchased an old original Wagoneer emblem on eBay. I actually get a lot of compliments on it!\r\n\r\nThanks to everyone for the compliments! It is really great to hear the comments and is one reason I enjoy being a car enthusiast.

I do not have the tire and wheel size memorized.\r\n\r\nI had the upholstery work done by a local craftsman here in NC. He is from New Zealand and grew up doing upholstery. He is a very talented artist.\r\n\r\nThe 3M wrapped roof was done because I was not sure if I was going to like it and did not want to commit to having it painted. The wrap can easily be removed. My vision was to use the change in color to help break up the proportions and to tie in the bumpers, wheels and grill scheme I created. The white roof also helps refract heat in the summer months.\r\n\r\nThe new A/C system features electronic controls. Not cumbersome cables. We created the custom bottom leather wrapped rail to house billet vents as well as having some in the upper dash. The A/C blows super cold and will keep the front passengers very comfy. Due to the fact that there are no rear vents for the back seat, passengers in the rear do not get as much A/C. I guess you could do a custom console and run supplies thru it under the seat to the rear if you chose to. The heat in NC in June, July and August will rival anywhere in the US with our humidity. It is oppressive. I drove this many times in the summer and was never uncomfortable. Obviously, the heat works great too.
