Well after a battle with getting sober, I came to relize, my beloved 93 black on black coupe, had cursed me twice, so I cut ties with it. I sold it and bought something slower, and I thought I would share. I have been messing with it for about 3 months now. It can go anywhere I want, it has all you basic functions, decent MPG, and xm satellite radio. Oh and it sits on a 71 chevelle frame, with a 454/th400 and a 12 bolt. PS/PB. Very fun to drive. I have put almost 4k miles on it. Next year will land some major changes including front and rear fenders and either a clean up with clear or a flat black and clear base paint job. Right now its making me smile, as it turns more heads then my mustang ever did.

I've been wanting something like this. I'd love to drive that around.
It is a lot of fun to drive. It is sitting on a 71 chevelle frame and drivetrain, so it basically handles like a car.
That's awesome man. Congrats. On everything.
Thanks
Nice man. I just picked up a 53 F100
Awesome! Id love to see pics of it.
Now THAT is a neat rat rod! I like the "mats". :)
Thanks, It really helps the looks of the interior IMO.
Sweet. Would look better with fenders. Get them

Fenders are on the list. They were to far gone to salvage.
