The Driver's Door was an example of how bad the car was for a new car.

What horrible condition for a "new" car! That beast looks absolutely mint now; very nice work! If I had to own an import, it'd be a Nissan, and if at all possible, a GT-R.

Kudos...
:D

Drop dead gorgeous! Great work! Pity a brand new car can look that bad from the factory.. well, i guess after you factor in trasnportation to the dealer.. i could see that.
nice work!

wish i was that good...or had that car

man, I love to see your work on these cars. Awesome job!

Gorgeous Car, great job!

Beautiful! http://olddogg.homestead.com/F150/clap.gif
