Your right about being a good cumfy ride sometimes it is hard to believe it is front wheel drive it really rides like a big car and the 3800 V6 is strong and tuff. The whole body work prep and paint has me alittle nervous. My last attempt at body work was in the late 80's on the 63 dart project I never finished but I did get it painted with no real idea ( I was still in High school )at what I was doing 5 gal. of bondo, wire screen, fiberglass, cheap spray gun, cheap paint, osfo disaster,,,, Lets just say it was not to good. I will say that I redid the dash (metal) with a spray bomb two tone krylon I think and it looked awsome atleast compared with rest of the car.
