Seeing the overall condition of this van, may be a partial respray is a good thing. Just leave it parked few more nights and you'll end up with an art deco moving sculpture.

First time I see big covers on calipers. May be he could add some plastic around the brake discs to compliment the full braking system. While he's there. What about the engine, original four sylinder and four more fake? Show off you say.

Sounded like he at least had the V8, no EcoBoost turbo noise. He did have a bad promod bulge hood, VERY poorly fitted and front corner up maybe 1-1.5"

Those discs look tiny, even taking into account the caliper covers are clearly oversize and make the discs look even more miniscule..

OK fair comment re them being rears. My comment was based on me not thinking and presuming they were fronts. Been a big day!
But yes even for rears still small considering the car alone must weigh c.1600kg / 3500lbs |

I wish I had gotten a picture of that but it took me minute to understand what I was seeing, and brakes were easier when he was pulled up next to, moving was harder. Maybe with our new dash cams I can try to capture better moving shots of the stupid, there is a LOT in Atlanta on the roads

Florida truck or not, this kind of sticker could get the owner into deep troubles here. One could argue it's second level humour but…

Wow, er, Christmas truck all year round. That is truly blessed.
Edit: and a green spot light on the rims. Why didn’t I think of that. Hey, the dude loves their truck. Ace. |

I really, really appreciate your positivity, but if y'all ever see me do this to a truck, please call the authorities. As someone that spent two hours today straightening exhaust tips, I have lost my mind and am a danger to the public. It's about the details not the accessories.

Are you seeing that clean 300C behind it though? Goodness. Ralph Gilles, who also designed the 4th gen Ram and is one of my favorite designers, designed the 2004 300C and made his career and saved Chrysler (again). Still looks good when you see a clean one.
The Ford is obviously awesome too. I really appreciate people that save sedans and other less desirable collector cars to keep them around. It's cool to see a clean family car from the 60s. |
