Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | Didnt see that coming Cool, lets see how this comes out. I am assuming a chop top (roof lowering) or is it going to be a parade car?

Regular Posts: 92 Location: Hollister Ca | Lost my brakes on the way home from Billet Proof a couple years ago. Not fun. Took me this long to save up for a brake up grade. At this rate I will be in my 90's before I get around to chopping it. Good luck with your ride. Think Im not the only one excited to see it done. | ||
