This past week my body guy has installed and welded in the L&R anchors for the prop rods on my GT headlight mechanism. He has also finished fitting the hood, doors, eyebrows & HL covers.

Arrest Me Red (Guards Red) is my favorite color. Tangerine is next. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)




I would go ultra rare strawberry color if I was doing a respray

Imagine the chick you would get in that car that color (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
