    with your being a tintop, you could always source an early (~73) westy interior as some of them that year was tintops from the factory (I think)

    mostly I'd like to get a set of swing seats? idk if thats the right term... and some cabinets, and a table for now... I'm sure i could figure something out for the table I have a few good ideas. I just dont know what seats will and wont work in mine as far as swing seats? or cabinets. is there somewhere I can just buy aftermarket cabinets? im not much of a carpenter.
