This whole interior is bubba!

We gut yer indoor/outdoor carpet.
We gut yer aluminum plate console with incorrect gauges.
We gut yer 5" monster tach with shift light.
We gut yer VW Jetta rubber shift boot.
We gut yer Racer seat and harnesses.
We gut yer tored up under-dash, with no heat, A/C, or nuttin.
Ya got no cupholder!!
Ya got a 1985 radar detector!!! (Duct-taped to the dash!)
Looks like ensignia cloth for door panels.
The E-brake boot is made from a detergent container!

With all this cheap crap installed, I suppose Bubba could afford some good suspension, brakes, and rubber!

I've shown this one before. This is what I found when I stripped the paint off. Notice the fingerprint in the resin. I covered it up. I just don't want to know who it was.

I don't care who else shows their "Bubba's"... Restorod wins "hands down". No body can top that one. [I could almost hear Dave Letterman doing his "redneck" voice in the background.] {And don't get ticked about the redneck comment...I are one.}

With the puke bottle, MSD box, RPM switches and Pro Billet distributor, I guess Bubba was racing my vette before I bought it.....

Not as good as your guys but bubba welded my rag joint to the steering column. Apparently the wheel wasnt close enough for him so he slid it out until 1/4 was splined and put 2 crappy tack welds. Not that big of a deal but it still pissed me off.

Bubbas' fake braided fuel line came apart and lit up. I have been trying to undo this for about 5 months. Almost done.
