Gionni, it looks FANTASTIC! Congrats on accomplishing all that work!

WOW, love the color....Amazing!

Your car looks amazing.

I really like the little modern touches, like the console and leather work. I'd love to see some posts explaining the details of how you leather wrapped the dash.

It looks like there are some really sweet Mopars overseas, judging by the stuff I could see in the car show pics.

Congrats!!!

Beautiful car sir, very very nice.

On a side note, how were you able to post so many high-res pictures?? I've gotten yelled at by the server for having like 6 low-res pictures posted in total.

That is just wonderful!
Seems like you did what I day dream about.
Nice job pulling it all together. I bet it is fun to drive.

I think the pictures document the story of the build very well.

Congratulations on a job well done.

Holy cow that is one nice 71!!!!

Sweet paint job!!! Great job.

thanx all guys!!
