Dropped off License plates to be restored. Jim does great work. He's in Pleasonton.

Rain was on and off and so was my lower back.
Managed to hang front bumper and steering wheel.

Front brakes finally on.

I'll burn these ST's up and get another set of Mickey's later to match the back.

So does that mean we will see it at the Mopar Alley show this year? (which by the way is going to be held at De Anza College now)

Dang TC....do you find yourself sitting behind the wheel making engine noises with your mouth just waiting for the real day. She looks great! But I think there may be a little too much tread on the rear tires. I'm going to need you to take care of that ASAP  :burnout:
