    Yeah... Anyone that knows me can tell you that me in a grass skirt and coconut bra are not out of the question if Rum or Tequila are part of the equation . I do have my hula girl on the dash, and if your tiki lights are 12 volt I could surely find a home for them! (I'd go with real tiki torches but as a retired firefighter I should probably know better)

    I'm going to put a platform "bed" in the back with a bamboo front and two large bamboo columns. My amp and sub will be concealed beneath and I should still have a bit of storage. I'm trying to find an old school ice box that I can wrap in bamboo as well. (to keep the coconut milk cool)

    Thanks m1d. I'm trying to keep it simple and inexpensive, (cheap). Kinda like I would have back in the 60's. I've got my ol school aloha surfboard racks and my 9'0" Yater, (that's a surfboard translated into Canadian) and I'm good to go. I like the lil' Hula air freshener, I'll be on the look-out for one. Thanks again.

    Very cool Cap'! I like the look, listening to Martin Denny, Les Baxter and Arthur Lyman on your stereo would be the finishing touch:

    ha ha!

    A guy near my shop makes Tikis and decor, plus Palapas and he's busy all the time, I think he's one of the main tiki culture guys in our area, like a club or something...

    Really liking the door panels!
    Where did you get the bamboo?
    We've been trying to find something like that locally with no luck.
