    nice 4 door

    That's a nice 4-door. It looks just like the one my grandfather drove years ago. Wish I had THAT one, too. And I still say yours look better than mine. LOL

    thanks for the inspiration

    Thanks. This is a learning project for me, as well, so I'm sure there will be many times I'll need advice, information, and inspiration. And I'm taking tons of pictures as I go.

    John, You'd be surprised on how much power those little 250's make:D :eek: Actually I use the two door to tow the 5th wheel, with the short over hang of the trunk lid, the two door will turn tighter(y) Now if I can just figure out why the rear tires rub the fenders:slap: :D
