The car was shavhed and chopped and i am not sure if i like that, so the shell maybe up forsale if cannot find a suitable rook and windhsheild to raise it back up.

The frame has been subframed, fourlinked and bagged. so has disc, bags, and late model rear. please give as many comments and idea as you guys can!
