Wow, it looks great!
Do you already know the color you gonna paint it?

 

Ha ha thanks brother I will make it I'm Een gettin it ready enough in the next week to drive a bit of the way, well someone else will cause I'm the dumb Fuk who lost his licence ha ha.
But we will have a bak up trailer for breakdowns and to put it on so just a couple hours crusin hopefully I'll put a shit load of pics up of the cruise
Des

 

Oh yeah well I'm thinking about starting on the body work and spraying a base coat on so I can cruise it lookin satin while I do more work but the end plan is real traditional gloss black, white fire wall with a candy gold nailhead with lots of chrome 97's white tuck an roll interior with gold piping gold carpet and a pearl white days with some gold striping that's the plan anyway.
See what happens as time goes by

 

I gotta take a lot more photos but I'm just so flat out killin myself I don't stop but I will tonight and do a scent update in works time on my phone ha h.
