Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53

Looking sweet!

I remember way back when (76-77) I had two of these, complete with running sixes and Fluid Drive tranny's.. Never even thought back then about what they could be. Can't wait to see yours progress.

Re: [PROJECT] Laidout53

Nice truck and fab skills! I have a thing for dodge trucks as well, maybe
cause they are not as popular, I always liked the 92-93 fully loaded
reg cab short beds, but wouldnt mind to get my hands on one of this...
2wd, 2dr Mexican charger...now, that would be unique! cant register one
here cuase of the safety/emission bulls***.
