    Haha yea I think that part of the reason he got an 83 to restore because he didn't want to risk this one. This 85 doesn't have a scratch on it, its in mint condition.

    Very nice.

    I wish I had your talent.

    Only one question - I didn't see a trailer hitch?

    Do you have one and, if not, any reason not to have one?

    I'm just wondering.

    Very nice build.

    Haha I cant take credit for this, its all my pops. The biggest reason why he did it was to teach me what he knows. I gotta say I learned a lot this project though
