its gorgeous. im especially jelous of the blue interior. Honestly mine is this horrifically dullgrey and nasty bleekcloth. plus that body is pretty much mint. I dont think people understand how hard the salt and snow up north is on cars. An '84 anything around here without completely rusted out fenders is either a miracle, or a show car that never leaves the garage.

anyhow. thatsa beaut!
Atleast it doesn't have the gay *** k-car steering wheel like the 85s have.

yea the steering wheel on my 91 is this stupid hunk of soft plastic the the chrysler star in the center. its not as bad as my girlfriends 94 dodge Sprirt, but its pretty cheap lookin...Dodge has a habit of being cheap with trim i think.


...speaking of which i painted my dash the other day...and actually it looks pretty sweet and didnt come out cheap looking. ill post some picks

I've found a really decent steering wheel for relatively cheap. It looks great in rams I think. This one is probably available at autozone and pepboys too, but this is where I found it.

you can see pics of the dash on the "Our Babies" post. I rolled that on with a high density roller. Next time I think that I willthin it because that paint gets shinier when it goes on thin, butI was worried about getting lots of bubbles. You can get rid of bublbes by very lightly draggin the roller over them. Maybe ill clear it later on. Also its been a couple months and you could still sorta scratch it with fingernail, but we havent had any hot weather for it to dryand i didnt sand/prime.

and thanks for the post on the steering wheel bud. Ill prolly get that at crappy tire since we dont have any autozones or pepboys near my house
