O.K., this hasn't been asked in what...a month?

Oh Yeah, I moved the truck, as we used my truck to set up the targets, but the rental van....now that's a different story

[Rocnerd]

I used to have a Dodge Dakota that I miss very much.  I traded it in for a Jeep that I couldn't stand a year later and now have a Dodge Magnum.  I like the Magnum but I still miss my truck.  Nothing like a pickup for convenience.  Unfortunately I live in S. Florida where if you aren't rich you at least need to keep up the appearance that you are.  Meaning no pickup trucks in the driveway.  The homeowners associations down here (for the most part) won't let you park a pickup in your own driveway.  I guess it seems too blue collar to them.  Have they looked at the prices of pickups lately?  Luckily mine fit in the garage.  The guy across the street has to park his outside of the developement in a strip mall at night because his garage is too small.  Anyway, when the truck hit about 125,000 miles and the A/C went and the catalytic converter went and it was leaking oil like a sieve I decided to go for a hassle free association friendly vehicle.  I miss my truck.  Ah well, enough of my ranting.

I too,  have a Dodge Magnum, Silver,but not a Hemi, got the HO v-6.  

[Rocnerd]

Yeah, I test drove both the HEMI and the bigger V-6 and well, test driving the HEMI was a mistake because OH MY GOD!  That thing moves.  I got the grey one.  So, my payments are a bit more than I would have liked but I am happy, though I still miss my truck.

Here is a Magnum I got to drive once around the track, and did a lot of sitting in the passenger seat.

[Rocnerd]

That's the charger, but it is basically the same car.  The magnum is the, dare I say it, station wagon.

OOOPPPS
My fault...we have the Magnums in the line-up too.
 I get them all confused these days.
We had this as a Pace Vehicle last season.

Though not as jazzed as those driven by chameleon, here's my work in progress:









It was painted by my father-in-law and we got to use the same type paint that's used on the yachts he paints.  Price per gallon - nearly $500!    I figured with the amount of rain/salt water/hurricanes we get to enjoy in FL, that would be the best choice for the paint.  Low maintenance, too - just spray with water and chamois, with an occasional buff.

Wow! Nice transition K-Man.


When I looked at the very first picture you posted, I immeadiately thought you may do something custom, like make it look like a holster...just kidding.

There aren't many cars I do not respect, I have a fondness for them all.

Is your Mustang sporting a V8? You know how nice they sound,

Here I am taking the Charger down the straight at a bit over one hundred miles an hour......just kidding, I'd scare myself, I am driving, but doing forty..

[K-Man]

Actually I've done quite a bit to the 'stang in the 8 months I've had it.  In addition to the free paint job, I've replaced shocks/struts, fuel pump, rubber gasket around sun roof, head liner/visors, put on window tint, put in awesome stereo w/amp & subwoofer.  The next thing will most likely be changing tires/rims.  Then probably would redo seats with leather after that.  It's a '93, but just turned 87k miles.  Last owner only used it to run around town and short errands - what a waste!

Wow, that's really restoring/rebuilding the car! Lot of work.
It does look nice, so you did a great job.

Does the car sit lower than the stock height/ It looks like it does.That will make it handle better.
I like the stock look, but if you do change the wheels, put some thought into that not to change the appearance so much that it gets away from that look. Sometimes real high wheels ruin the ride, but look cool, if you know what I mean.

Keep the photos coming.
