    I know the after pics look good but it needs a second full restoration after 10 years of hardcore driving just thought I might give you guys that need to finish a boost. Yes it was really ugly and I was 15 at the time :rolleyes: now Im just ugly and older too.............

    Well if you ask me... and even if you don't, I would have to say that all the hard work, time and money was worth it!

    SWEET looking ride.
    As always just my .02 but once again I'm right!

    I bet the weight was better 13 years ago! :D

    I've gotta get filler and paint, then the fun begins... I doubt I'll meet my summer goal, but we'll have a lift soon and I'm making progress... and doors... and floorpans... lol
