Post by: shaved80 on February 27, 2011, 04:31:19 pm

long time no see...i scrapped my doored project cuz i didn't like the way it looked, so i ended up buying an '84 with a pretty straight body and frame as a blank canvas. here's some pics of my progress so far...

don't have any from when i first got it, but here is one from after i stripped everything from it and added the '91 core support

I like it. The SS wheels look slick on there, I'd keep them.
