A friend sent this to me. Not 151 but close enough for those that enjoy them in this manner.

That is a nice looking setup but you better have flexible legs to work the pedals in there, Or be a short guy.

Petrolicious makes really good videos I think. I would think it was shot somewhere on Central Coast, CA, at least it looks like where I did spend most of my days when not in Germany.
The modifications done on the Jeep, I would not want them, and some of them are even useless (like the aircraft compass in a steel dashboard...) but I understand the guy that he did not want to mess with what his dad had done back then...

Horst, it has Washington plates on it so West coast but a bit north of there. The very first thing I thought of was that I would have changed the springs to a more modern style with more, thinner tapered leaves. That way you get the same height but a MUCH nicer ride.

He has a black plate from CA. And I know my back country, I can't count how many times I have been there, but it has been 25 years now ;) Where ever he comes from, I am missing my trips to the States. It's been now one year since I worked on my school bus, cursed about the failing smoke checks on my Suzuki and enjoyed the reliability of the GTO. I wonder in what state they are right now :(

no problem Rick. Like I said, I know the landscape ....

on my opinion about Petrolicious I am biased, they nicely photographed my 911 here : https://petrolicious.com/articles/wheel ... fee-format
