I really lucked out...the trim (and there's alot) is immaculate.

Those things just roll down the road quite comfortably.

What size mattress can you fit in the back?

Asking for a friend.

So that's probably a twin mattress? Doable. Very doable.

A twin might be too long, have to leave the gate down.

Well as long as he's not over 6' and only hitting it missionary, he'll just have to shorten the mattress up. :thumb:

Sounds like a helluva car, got some pics?

Yeah, though I realized I haven't really taken any since I had it brought up from Oklahoma. These are the ones I have from when I bought it:

Spoiler!

Those harsh shop lights make the color on it look a little off. The best representation I could find for it's real color is that rear shot. It's obviously a bright red but it has a real faint gold flake in the red as well that you only notice under sunlight and it makes that red pop like crazy. Then the silver stripes have a more prominent metallic in them but again, it's crazy brilliant in the sunlight.

It's a fun car; more of a 10 foot restore than anything. If you get really close you can start to see things here and there that make it not truly show quality but nobody ever really notices them unless I point them out. It's a quality restore and it has poly body mounts in there so I'm pretty sure it was a frame-off restore, though probably not a full rotisserie job.

Ultimately, it's nice enough that I'm not embarrassed taking it to local car shows but I know I won't win. It also has enough imperfections that I'll drive it whenever I feel so inclined without worrying about rubbing it with a diaper when I get home.

**** trailer queens. Cars that are driven regularly will never be perfect. Yours looks awesome.

DJLN my buddy says that if you dont change the torque boxes and just cut around them for the floor it would probably be under a grand but if you want to change it all it would be quite a more. he says he could tell more if we had a couple pics.

it really also depends on their labor rate

Post detailing pics but before tint.
