What's up r3v... I'm pretty happy with how this car is coming together, so heres a few pics! We've been slowly putting it together for about 3 years.. let me know what you guys think.

Heres a pic my dad took a few years ago right before he purchased the car... completely stock, beat up, and abandoned at a gas station.



A few "in between" pics..











Since we got it... a lot has been done to it:

I always liked the look of those license plate filler things. How much do they usually go for?

Thumbs up for the early tails with late bumper.
With wheels this big you should probably drop it a bit more.

Nice transformation overall.

Saw you a gfest. That's a good looking ride you have there. ;)

I saw this car in person... Those wheels are sooo sweet and the fill/redrill is just about the best quality I've EVER seen. Better than mine!

i paid $26 it on BluntTech a little over a year ago. They are NLA now so i'm not sure where you can find it now
