It's gonna stay Intense Blue...but the hood and trunk are also gonna stay matte black. I kinda like the way it looks that way. Made a deal with a buddy to have the front bumper fixed up and painted come spring in exchange for a set of oem rt skirts and also an 01 RT tranny.

Sorry Ash...like I told you on Facebook...I figured you'd have her "work" it off...lol.


On a side note, I'm going to be picking up another 1gn as a daily driver and OH what a daily driver he'll be. The current owner calls him The Demon and I think I may just carry on with that. He's a 98 sport sedan with 175xxx km on the body, an 01 SOHC motor with just over 90xxx km. Magnum cam, boxed intake, shorty header, (currently a dohc PCM but he's possibly putting a Mopar PCM in before I get it from him), new brakes, lca bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, end links, 01 full interior, after market speakers, pioneer radio, timing belt, h2o pump, mech tensioner, 3.94 tranny with diff saver tabs installed, Atx tb, cai, brand new clutch...probably more that I don't know about yet. Oil sprayed every year, virtually rust free (knowing the seller like I do, he may as well say completely rust free. Man keeps his car's in pristine condition). Pic to follow, can't upload it from my phone.

They're actually 2gn R/T rims painted black. Sorry.

I'll try to get more pics this weekend if the weather cooperates Gramps. Engine, interior, exterior...the whole shebang

Sorry Gramps. The weather did not seem to want to cooperate. It doesn't look like I'll have the time to get some good photos for a couple weeks anyway. This weekend was the only "free" time I had till Halloween. I promise I'll get some though and post them up as soon as I'm able.

Here you go Gramps. Sorry it took so long. Only got a few as the weather was again uncooperative and I was kinda in the middle of roofing my garage.

Also picked up a Mopar STS for him and gave him a bath. Found a slight water leak in the trunk, not the tail light gaskets as is so common. This was coming from a pinched trunk weatherstrip. Changed that with one from my parts car and hasn't been an issue since. Only cancer that i've managed to find is on the roof in front of the sunroof. hopefully I'll be able to take care of that this summer.
Changed the worn out summer tires/rims for the rims from my old ACR wrapped in winter tires in order for for him to pass safety. That was all he needed for safety.

I still have the silverstones. I put the sport wheels on as they have my winter tires on them and also, the 2 front tires on the silverstones required replacing to pass safety. The silverstones will be back out next spring with some fresh meat on them. Thinking another set of KDW's like what are on the EX.

Gramps...there are no interior shots yet as it was in desperate need of a good cleaning. I'll get some for you soon but it's a "plain Jane" 01 LE interior...comfortable for sure but nothing fancy like I had on Samantha.

^^Even if it's nuthin' fancy, I'm still curious about what the interior looks like. Oh heck, I'm just plain nosy! :lol:
