30 grand to get that back to stock. Ugh!


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

yes, paint and body was flawless....that's what really caught my eye...tough with that candy type paint!

I saw it being backed out of the trailer as I was driving in and it looked stock from the a$$ end...saw it later and was a bit disappointed...wanted to talk to the guy but did not see him when I took these pix,

Nice, but perhaps could use a lot more miles and some minor paint chips IMO. I like a quality build as much as the next fella. However, I personally would like to be able to say things like "On this one trip.... or We once ran up against a ...and ..."

We build to enjoy them on the road also no? Take Dave's pic as example...great use of iron.

You'd think he'd have put the radiator filler panels in.

I don't have time for a job, I just need the money.

Most people don't know what those are.
