Thanks .. I've always wanted 1 and I got this at a good price so I pulled the trigger ... Also has bucket seats out of a Chrysler but gonna go back to bench sear and add vintage air.. the only reason the guy sold it was to help fund his 69 camaro..

Yea my buddy has it at his job doing a Lil audio work to it ... He's also taking it to battle drag to promote his shop.. He's the guy who did my bags... Pretty sure I can mount a hitch if not I'll figure something out
