Awesome. Your tires do not stick out too much, I like that look.

Been awhile since I've updated on here. Since last year I've been trying to get the motor right. Kept shutting off randomly and after replacing almost the entire starting system, I found out it was the distributor. So, took apart entire front of motor and replaced the timing chain, cam shaft gear, rebuilt oil pump, and added a new Summit HEI distributor and new wires. It runs great now!

Also, I added front and rear bumpers, bimini top, and ordered the infamous Americana floor mats which wont be installed until I get the body and paint done. Body and paint scheduled for September so I ahve time to enjoy this summer.

Oh, and I also had my rocker panels refinished and ordered all new Laredo graphics but also waiting until body and paint is done for those.

I was quoted $1300 to redo the Laredo seats but I will have to order an all new set of seats first since these are blown out. Probably going to be the last thing I do

Anyways, it's coming around nicely I think.
