[QUOTE="JoeRacer, post: 8250594, member: 85741"] The body/paint is in good condition except for a few blimishes (86k miles). The previous owner had ran up over a curb and already messed up the paint on the bumper so it is being redone anyways. The hood is aftermarket, and the paint on the underside is peeling off so I am going to have that fixed as well. I'd love to have towed the car on a real trailer but UHAUL wanted $500 to rent their POS that weighs 2000lbs, and I couldn't find a decent trailer for sale locally for a price I could live with. I was definitely worried about towing with the dolly. It is most definitely worthless for backing up with, and it makes some nasty sounds over bumps (at least at speeds slow enough to hear it lol ... out of sight/sound out of mind?). While I did make it the 670miles without any incident I am never using a dolly again. Oddly enough the car had a built engine (600rwhp) through an auto before it was dissassembled and left sitting in a garage for 10 years (eh, for the record leave a car sitting for 10 years and every nut/bolt on it will be rusted/frozen, the entire SS fuel system will be dry rotted, the fuel tank will be ruined, etc ... but keep it in a garage under a cover and the body and interior will still be perfect heh). I had the pleasure of replacing the auto pedal assembly back to the original pedals that came on the car (the owner still had them after 10 years of storage). ... now I just have to repair the wiring that was ****ed by an alarm install :bash: For the record I got 15 MPG :rockon: The truck had 0 problems, and everything felt solid the entire trip. Here are a few pics of it though.

I don't think there is another truck out there that I would be as happy with as I am with this one. These trucks are awesome :beer: [/QUOTE]
