    Thanks for all the compliments! i really do appreciate it!

    When is the roundup you are talking about? Is that Carsile? Hopefully it's far enough away that I have some time to get done what I want to the car.

    Like anything else it photographs better than it actually is, but its not that bad.

    The one part that drives me crazy is the interior. I am gonna get pics out later on today, but I guesss since it's a Florida car, fading on the plastic is bad.

    The interior is all there, but a the rear seat side panels, plastic on the steering column, and front kick panels (which have the factory speakers) are now grey instead of tan. Drives me crazy to look at it. Its like looking at a perfect car with the body painted 3 different colors!

    Anyone have any experience with painting the plastic to being them back to original color?

    Thanks again everyone for all the kind words!

    Kentucky is pretty far away from Jersey....But who knows, maybe we will come.

    I still got the wheel shaun.

    It's just getting use of the truck and getting up there that's the problem.
