    The brakes are in and she stops good.  Started to do some of the detail work with stickers and such.

    I will take some more pictures after I get her outside, if the sun ever comes out.

    Enjoy...

    Remember to take it easy on the new rotors. If you heat them up and cool them off gently for the first couple hundred miles before you start using them hard, it will help minimize warping.

    OK, the Billboards are on! I love the way that they came out. It is too bad that the sun is not out today so I could get some good pictures.

    Let me know what you guys think.

    Well, we've come a long way together guys.  I started this thread when I was just trying to get my car started.  This weekend, I put her in the Darryl Starbird show.  1100 cars competeing.  I won a trophy for top 5 in Factory Performance Mopar.  I think that is a pretty good start.  My car won a trophy in the first car show that she has ever been in.  LOL  I still have a lot to do.  I really don't think that I will ever be done, but like I said, we have come a long way.
