    So I bought a caddy from a friend in Idaho. A few years ago it was started off a jerry can but when I got it there was a carberator on the floor board, brakes didn't work and it was missing the gas tank. So I ordered a gas tank and it came in last week. By the end of this weekend I was driving this beast around the block.

    Looks like you're off to a great start. Keep at it!
     
  8. I like that your going after safety and reliabily items before cosmetics.
    I think you might be a tad to low,

    The plan is to keep it simple. Nice hot Rod black printer job, metallic green roof, metallic green scallops, lake pipes laid out on white wall's and stock caps. Then it's back to the delivery wagon
