Dental ur right, if it's a DD then keep them, but be prepaired to have the dash done asap lol

2001, I can't tell ya for sure, the car isn't done for me to enjoy and get feedback from people seeing it in person. I put DD SFC's, as well as a Wolfe 6pt cage in, I would say for sure don't do it without SFCs, but the cage would be highly recommended to keep things inline...

Well you would need to have SFC's and a cage before I would recieve the car, and it shouldn't take more than a month to complete, once I am done with school could possibly do it in 2 weeks turn around...

There's alot of material involved, and time...how much would you see worthy of a job like that?

I once had a V6 and still do! I just sacraficed modifying it to buy a V8. I got my V6 for $1500 with a blown head gasket, bought a used 3.8 that only 5000k miles on it for $500 bucks and it got me through 3 years of high school! And is now my DD. I'm only 20 too! I should be making bank with my new job, but I get **** done so quick I never have anything to do other days so I get sent home...f'ing gay. I found a second job, I'm looking for a third one! I want to get my f'ing interior done along with some suspension mods this summer!
