I call it a Mall Crawler, yes... Its my DD first and foremost...
my love for the b2 started when my dad had an 86 when i was YOUNG(think 4-6 years old or so...when dad is your hero and you wanna be just like him), well it burnt due to an electrical fire. he replaced it with this 88. when he bought a ford f150 he sold it to my uncle. when i was 13 or 14 we bought it back for me, paid $500 for it. but it has come a LONG way since then...
will be updating this thread w/ pics i like..hopefully some action shots

Thanks, That was actually done when my uncle had it. I liked it so I didn't sand it and paint it when I painted the rest of it.
