Yes, another one... And yes you´ll see the project if you want...

But at first I´m gonna drive it as it is... Maybe little better paint. Hide those bad weldings... NASCAR clone...

Fixed leaking exhaust gaskets and pipes... Alternator needs TLC... I don´t like those Dodge wheels...

Ooh, that has a special interior, right? I think I saw some kind of ad for it before. You should post some pics of the inside if you get the chance.

I like the grey! Can't wait to see more pics. How did the body work look with the fresh paint? See any areas you wished you'd have spent more time on?

Yeah, that roof was a mess and you did a lot to get it looking as good as it does. Maybe putting the roof rack back on will hide it a bit! :)
