For those of you who know @bdyer12 , you know his work is top quality. Throughout the build, he used all OEM parts when available. Additionally, he did not skimp on anything for the swap process. This was used a DD for Brian and has been part DD and part weekender for my family and I. I have had this on the interstate and I can tell you it has no issues. As long as I have owned it, it has never been off-road and I rarely drive it in the rain.

Here is the original build thread: 88 RESTO MOD BUILD FOR DD

Is it perfect? No. So, here are all the known issues:

• 2-3 Chips on the Paint
• Interior Passenger Door Handle Cracked
• Rear Power Door Locks Work Intermittently

How much is this beautiful work of art? $45k ... $40k

Per usual, feel free to ask questions.

Thanks,

JB

Yes he does!

The red silicone coolant hoses would not stop leaking. So, took it to Mayhem Motorsports in Raleigh to work on a solution. We went back to stock type coolant hoses.

Hey Neighbor !!

Bryan is a die hard cruiser guy. He's built more cruisers than most on this forum. He generally doesn't skimp or cut corners on his builds. I can tell that on this cruiser, he worked a dealer in KY to find new-old-stock parts for the build. Amongst all that he's a really good dude.

It's about time for a new project. Going to be dropping price and will leave it on here for a little while longer. Then, I will be posting on BAT. If you're interested, feel free to make me an offer.
