I was trying to think of his screen name. He has one of the few non chrome mumper cars that will actually make even a chrome bumper lover drool.

lil75, when your ready to paint her send me a PM. I know a local painter who's a artist w/a spray gun. He'll make her a super model for $5000. He's over in Wall NJ. If you do all the body work he can paint it for less.

she looks good without the rear glass and leaving 'nude' the rollbar, it's my idea of a 'roadstar' that has been around my mind for a while now...
