Re: My 600$ 86 T/A

Nice job bubba. Mine cost $1200, working and driving, but had to put over $3000 into it and make it right. It still needs a lot of work but with more time and a lot more money I'll get it done.

Nice ride and great job. If you lived close to me I'd pay you to paint my car...maybe

See ya Enjoy
