Love to see fresh paint on any project. Looks good.

Is that 2wd sitting on the street yours too? If so got some more shots of it as well?

Progress is progress, even if it is only a lowly 4wd project.

So it sounds like 2wd's are your preference?

Lookin' great!

**jaros44sr** · 02-26-2007, 07:16 PM

That does look sweet, nice work! If I took mine that far apart, it would be 8 yrs to put it back together haha

Yer gonna have the best of both worlds, Oilyrag! Don't be embarassed about havin a 4x4, maybe when some of them kids that dont understand ask what it is, you can tell 'em its a dork or donk or whatever the heck they are!!!

Cool work so far.
