Well I'm happy with my summer

[moparcanuck]

As another summer comes to a close - at least for us poor northern bastards , I'm happy with the improvements I've done to the GTX this year.

First and most drastic change was the installation of a Six Pack... er, 6BBl - it's a Plymouth. Having wanted a Six Pack since they came out and not being able to afford an A12 and loving my GTX to death, it's the best of both worlds. After working out a few bugs, it's running great.

Second improvement was to have the chipped paint around the tail lights fixed. Looks much better.

Next, I had the air grabber breather base and top powder coated. I tried doing the rattle can route but it just wasn't right.

Lastly and the most visually obvious improvement, I had the hood stripes redone in organisol. There is absolutely no comparison between organisol and any other finish. You have to see it for yourself to know what I mean.

Having blown this year's budget months ago, I'm now planning next year's improvements.

Concur! It looks great with the color / interior and the 6 BBL / Air Grabber / with the organisol hood stripes. Definitely classy and different and really stands out from the crowd

Dave Whitehouse at www.customautoemblems.net. This is a sideline for him so be patient. He is a super guy to deal with.

Hey guys I appreciate the feedback. I really do. The next best thing to owning a Mopar is to have guys -and gals - drool over it.

Back in the day, these cars were chick magnets. Now they're mostly dick magnets. :icon_mrgreen:
