That thing is awesome! Old replicas look so much more authentic - y'know, back when race cars were made from actual cars...

Thx everyone. We are still planning to do a few more things. We plan to add the Super speedway bumper aero shrouds. Since he is not sponsored yet, we plan to put our name on the quarter panels and hood. (Not every day you can sponsor Earnhardt so cheaply so we jumped at the chance) I think we will block out the tail lights and employ one of those pickup truck LED bars over the bumper. Of course, we will add our permanent TIRE GRAPHICS to the sidewalls.

Thisi is how it looked when we bought it. Someone spent a lot of money but they neglected one of the most important elements... STANCE! Well I think we nailed it. We installed new tirs 275 60 15 which is the largest you can buy without going drag radials and slammed her down. We stretched and trimmed the fenders and while we were at it added all new urethane front susp.

Also added the Recessed fuel filler in the Quarter as well. WE are trying to finisch the job that the prev owners started!

It was definitely sitting up too high before. So is my car, but I could get in and out of my driveway any lower
