    Not real pretty but runs and drives really well. I'll clean it up and just drive it for now while gas is relatively cheap! Maybe a quickie blow and go paint job sometime soon. Here's some pictures, I'll post more after the clean up.

    A white paint job, some seat covers, and she's ready for the next owner.

    No worries guys, removing the stickers will be part of the massive clean up it so needs!

    It looks like a solid car with a pretty good interior. The best of luck in your cleanup efforts to get her back on the road!

    Cleaned up the inside and put on a set of Chrysler dog dishes and of course removed the stickers. Still not a cream puff but very drivable for now. One picture shows the only rust other than a couple of small holes in the rear foot well.

    Looks nice, but I think your front tire might have a leak.

    NICE, good luck with it. I'd drive the hell out of it. I'm sure it will turn a lot of heads.:thumbs2:

    Ran some errands and went to lunch with my car buddies in it today. Real happy with the way it runs and drives. Made some much needed adjustments to the choke today so we'll see tomorrow morning if I got that right. Also I need to change the headlight switch before I drive it at night. Sometimes the lights work and sometimes they don't.
