Love this and it's the correct hand drive as well.
Can you just pop it into a container marked, 'George, Manila' and I'll pick it up at the docks?

Thanks! Yep- it is channeled four inches.
I channeled the entire thing from tip to tail so that it would look lowered, but in actuality, the suspension is 100% stock 2004 Dodge Durango SUV.
It starts and stops like a modern truck. It's probably going to drive really nice. It feels like it will anyway. I have not had it out on the road yet, I have to bleed the brakes and get plates for it. It's not road legal yet but doing that is easy. I just take the title in and purchase plates for it. Weeks for a returned radiator on Fleabay and now I can't contact the seller. No response. I loathe ebay. I'll just get screwed out of the money or do a chargeback with my card (a total hassle) and buy another radiator. That's all that is stopping it from taking a little test drive.
Steel wheels will finish the look, but I'm kind of outta money at the moment, so it is what it is. A BIG GIANT BAG OF VINTAGE FUN WITH A HEMI!

Ok, I know steel wheels are the fan favorite at the moment, but I've started a poll; Cast your vote for what I should do with these wheels.
1. Spray Matte Black 2. Spray Red Oxide (rust) color 3. Shabby Chic black with rust color underneath 4. Leave as is
Steel wheels if budget allows, but that's going to be much later. A couple cans of spray are nothing more than a tenner.
So far, the votes I have are:
2 for black, one for rust color and one for shabby chic. What say you?

Another for Black but can you paint them gloss rather than matt please. And how about grinding the side walls into white walls to match? P.

You can grind the raised outlined while letters into whitewalls? Now that seems interesting... I'm off to google it.
Now this is getting done! It's priced RIGHT.

Gloss black would offset the patina. My opinion is that for Patina to work (or Rat Rods) then the wheels have to be clean and shiny. Paint, chrome Mag or Ally. Got to be clean. Try that link about making Whitewalls it works. P.
