We are about the same age....and I did the same thing. Hence, a slight rake, Cragars with raised white letter tires, and chrome slapper bars.
yea original is no fun being 19 all im worried about now is getting 'er up to speed under the hood aside from what ive done... bigger engine, loud headers, flame throwers lol, things like that. shiney paint, shiney rims, things like that dont really concern me too much. i want to have fun with it above all else. other people having fun looking at it all clean and shiney when its parked really doesnt do anything for me but maybe a crowd of smiles after laying rubber down the length of the block might be worth something lol
