gotta get some rep for us :lol:
thanks ;)

To the top ;)

Love the rims and the gauges...would like to see another interior pic (perhaps of your painted trim pieces?)... An interior can make or break a car imo... No point in dressing up the outside if you let the inside look like crap....

what kills it for me is the ss/sc wing, doesnt matter if your dropped IMO. other then that nice

the paint actually came out too light, but ill see if i can get a good shot of the interior

ya, theres alot of controvercy (sp?) over those wings on our cars...but to each his own :) and thanks!!!

i usually dont like the wing, but it looks superb on this vehicle, nearly everything about this is perfect

edit: the only thing i dont like is the fartcan, it looks horrible but the car actually sounds pretty good. smaller muffler imo

Its also really close to where my Dad and I found one of the green river killers bodies when I was five years old fishing with him. Messed up thing to see when your only five let me tell ya.........

lol, ya. I live about 10 min in the other direction lol.

awesome park!!!

your still in the area it looks like, we need to meet up!!!

I haven't been to that park in years... last time I was there we floated tubes from the top by the gas flame all the way down to the bridge untill we couldn't walk anymore... so I think twice... It would be fun to float it from higher up with a couple cases of something good... Not endorsing drinking and playing in water just floating in it.
