Looks great! What kind of wheels are you putting on it? My 5000th post ;)

I decided on Cragar Classic SS rims. I've got the wheels and tires in the garage waiting to be put on the car.

Can't beat Cragars, but I'm a little biased  ;)

Well I picked the car up from the paint shop and it turned out amazing! The front right tire blew out about 2 blocks from my house. I guess it was only a matter of time because I got that rim and tire off an old Duster that hadn't been tagged since 1981 and was in a salvage yard. I never had to air it up even. Here are some pics. Now the fun starts.  :icon_smile_big:

It's the same color as Keepat's car. There wasn't much light when I took that picture. It is a really bright silver in the sunlight.

That was the first thing that crossed my mind when it went. I didn't want to look. It nicked the edge a little, but the wheel well chrome will cover it.

My dad and I bought the car on December 23, 2006. We sent it to the first body shop last April and got it back in August. The body work was shit, so we sent it to the other body shop in October and got it back yesterday. We could have had it done a long time ago if we didn't have to wait for the body shops to stop procrastinating and do stop doing all the other work first even though we were there WAY before any of the other cars.

Here is the car with the new wheels and tires, bumper, tail lights, and miscellaneous pieces of chrome installed. Since I'm on Spring Break I spent most of Monday working on the car.

How much did body and paint cost?

It was $3600 for the body work and paint. We had some body work previously done that cost us a little over $4000, but the workmanship was shit, so it had to be redone.
