Zeek 2,286 #1 Posted April 17, 2016 I'll spare you the step by step, but I always like when guys post before and after's, so here's a few . . . I picked this up from a kid at the show two years ago. It's a beast and was such a good worker it deserved better 25 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeek 2,286 #21 Posted April 19, 2016 I guess it's not an exact restore depending on how picky you are. My Raiders 12 was exact...this one has different front wheels and the speedo under the dash to fill the hole that was there, but I kind liked the look of this girl just the way she was...beefy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
