Looking good, you have a nice clean looking truck. Are you going to be painting it blue?

Thanks guys, as far as paint I'm not sure yet I've been thinking about a two tone with white and the original color or a burnt candy orange and black, but like I said not quite sure yet.

Oh you just stepped in some sh-- now! :lol: :lol: It's A mopar and it isn't a duster, its a 77 Dodge Aspen R/T as far as a nova that is the biggest :nono: for us Aspen & Volare fans there is. If you put an aspen and a nova side by side, the aspen makes the nova look like a block on wheels :lol: the aspen has a lot more curves and smooth body lines than a nova and just to let you know this is my signature on my Mopar site.....

Cool deal, no insult mean just in that tiny picture some lines look similair is all, like the front hood edge chrome the nova had skinnier stuff but near identical shape. and the rear side windows come close from about 100+ feet. Hey atleast i didn't say VEGA.

Nice truck, interesting speaker idea there. I may look into some mounted speakers, don't think I want to cut up my door panels. I have the same cup holder as well, love it. You have done some nice work to that truck and it looks great. And the Ford mats just look perfect in there. Now about the Dodge Aspen, I am kinda young and I just ain't never seen nor heard of one of them before. Great looking car, and I love the seats and shift handle. Must be a great car to cruise in.

Nice rides. I never figured I'd ever see Aspens as a sought after car. My dad and uncle both had a brown Aspen each. My uncles was a little older. Anyways, I hadn't seen one since dad sold his in the early 90's until I went to a local show and ran up on one! The thing looked great. I just never figured they would catch on like they have.

Yep the mopar f-bodys are not to bad to drive at all, they are very nice to cruise around in and their not to bad at high speed eather :lol: That's why their front suspension is so hightly used by the ford trucks from the 50's for the disc brakes and torsion bar suspension :thup: .
