I like the color of it now... looks like it needs a good buff job with the drop and it would be NICE!

Agree with CLASSIC87' - just buff it out good first & see what ya think. Drop it down & throw on some new wheels & tires - it'll look KILLER!!! Either way though, I look forward to more pics!

Your paint looks nice as it is! (this seems to be a theme so far)...that's the color I want mine to be when I'm done painting it
