Great job Guys! Did you fix the original parts like the seats and ETC?

@Gulli1000 Thanks! And, yes, everything pretty much has been redone. The seat frames are original, but, the covers/foams are new.

Man, this car is my dream car. My dad had one... as his first car... that lucky bastard. It was a 1968 dodge charger r/t with a hemi. He sold it to pay for his college education =(. He told me he has his regrets but he is happy with his job =P. He told me that a couple weeks after he sold it, the engine overheated when the new owner was dricing down to the beach, and was offcialy trash, at that time lol.

haha...yeah, my dad's had a few in the past. But, this one has been his constant. It was also his first car...my grandfather bought it new, then, after about 10 years of ownership, my dad was in HS, so, he gave it to him...lol Thanks for the compliments, and, hope you get yourself one someday. I tell you, looks everywhere you go...haha
