Dont worry man here in lowsyana we have nowhere to hang out b/c of honda/acura ricers and there truck buddies throwing beer bottles underages getting wasted, racing down Ryan st. ghey but a lawyer who comes to the meets lets us go to his lot and hang. And we can kick f*** out.

Car looks good glad to see the swayed instead of some chicks panties in your interior.

+1 for write up on that mirror mod man.

Duplicolor makes a dye.

So I got tired of waiting for my welding friend so I took at shoot at it. Not to bad in my opinion.

I had to cut the fender out a bit because the plate I welded on raised the fender up a bit. My son likes to be in pictures so dont mind him making his goofy faces.

I got a electric fan set and a new Exedy clutch.
