I saw a mini pick up at a car show about four years ago done that way and he went all out with that theme. He stripped the interior and replaced all the plastic/carpeted/upholstered surfaces with riveted sheet aluminum, he had the bomber seats, a small bomb in the bed for a fuel tank, etc. Pretty cool. That theme has not been overused so it is still effective for show cars in my opinion.

We are unsure what we will be doing with the interior yet. I do know the wife doesn't like the bomber seat idea. SHe want's to be comfortable.

She's not the forum posting kinda person. Just not interested in it. But she is clearly liking her car alot more now so that may change.
