Very nice. It is hard to beleive it's the same car. The shark lines look good from above. I need to take some pictures of mine from above. Buy two good fender covers to work on that engine. Ask me how I know.

That's one helluva change, and it looks great. The only thing that would be better is black with red interior, of course I'm biased because that's what my 79 is.

Here are a few pictures I took while working on my car. No the cracks in the front are not in the glass. There was about a 1/8 in of bondo covering the whole front end. We sanded all of it off and found no damage under. Not sure why the last person who did body work on the car did it. hope you all enjoy!!!!

Great pic's. I am sure it make's you proud.

The ironic thing for me is, the money for my '81 came from the sale of my dually. I shipped it to Denton, Texas.

Great looking car. I know how much work you went through to get it to where she's at right now, I just had mine completed last year and it took close to four years. You should be proud, it looks sharp!

Beautiful car,you and your dad really did a number on this 81, the feeling never changes, it doesn't matter if the car is old or new or what the $ value is, its a special feeling to see one brought back to life and not wasted in the junk yard.
