    Post up your progess pictures! Could be something small relative to paint or exterior looks.

    Looks so much better without the stripes, great choice in wheels, and the shaker hood is very cool. Great color, too!

      Very nice, Andrew. I remember you posting about doing the Viper brake conversion. I didn't realize you were going with the wheels, too. Did you tub the bed to fit the wheels? It looks absolutely stunning. Gorgeous Dakota!!!

          I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

          I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
          Remove swirls my friends.

                this guy made them for me:

                eBay Motors makes it easy to find parts for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles & more. We even offer a massive selection of new & pre-owned classics, hot rods, exotics, vans, ATVs, RVs, boats and more at eBay Motors. Shop for your next vehicle, or start selling in a marketplace with 171 million buyers.


                His name is Terry and he does amazing work. They were 100% made just like factory. They aren't seat covers though, they are actual upholstery. I had to use hog rings and everything. I didnt buy from his ebay store. I emailed him and told him what I wanted and what year truck I had. Whether or not he does other vehicles, I dont know. I know he does Rangers though. Just email him.

                        Here is my 2006 Mustang GT.. this picture was taken the day I bought her... May 1st, 2006


                        In 2009, I added a Ford Racing intake plenum cover, a BBK cold air induction system and a custom performance tune for premium fuel from American Muscle/Bama tuning.

                        Just before doing some appearance modifications... August 2011 at Boothbay Harbor, Maine...


                        This is her today... with painted rear window louvers, mirror covers , blackout rear panel and a Stack Racing 8" antenna




                        Heritage shots...



                        I've won two "Top Choice" awards from the Mustang Car Club of New England. October 2010 and July 2011
