well guys i have changed my complete direction once again, and i think im down to a final result , still waiting on a few more parts and ill be ready to start, see the problem is i cant never be happy with something for too long, thats why it takes so long for me to complete a car....uggh this project is beginning to cost more than i expected, so much for a beater ehh?

prospect pics enjoy!

ps im not telling anyone which design im going with infear that i might change again at the last min.

this is what she looks like now.

Thanks to Jess(01rtgurl), with her amazing skill of photoshop. This is what it should look like once completed.

I know what you mean...I have a real strong urge to buy a 1st gen RT coupe! I know it won't happen (rather boost the 2nd gen), but a guy can dream, can't he?
