[Spike]

[RodneyBad]

Your really on a Roll again.

The Blue Doge looks Sick..

The Spokes look good on the Ole Dodge and will hold up better..

Nice wood bed sides.

300 Looking good.

Got one in Yellow I've dinked on now and then.

It's really more Then then Now tho.

[Spike]

[RodneyBad]

thanks zuk. you got the seats from your 300? i need front seats for mine

I have no Extra Factory seats.

Nice big Chrome backs too.

Can't even find my Glass for it lately.

I think that's when I stopped working on it.

[Spike]

i'd rather be missing the glass then the seats

at least the glass you can easily make outta clear plastic

[Spike]

well i couldnt resist but to start another project

[vizio93]

Well, it certainly looks interesting . Actually the more and more I look at it, the more and more start to like it . Is the black one a Chrysler 300 ?
