    I know it's been awhile since I last posted anything on the 1985 Dodge Aries. It has cleaned up pretty well, the paint is shot but it has great "patina" at least from 20 feet away. It took awhile to get it running decent, so far I have put around 500 miles on it. I took it to a "Cars and Coffee" event last weekend and it recieved a lot of positive feedback. It could still use a set of struts and shocks, but for around town driving it's doing fine. The 4 speed makes it fun to drive. Here are some pictures..including one from riding on a tow truck on New Year's Day when I busted a heater hose. Thank Goodness for a AAA card.

    Looks like an 18 footer to me. But I've got one bad eye. Looks really good on the wrecker!!!!
    Have fun cruising.

    Nice solid K-wagon, I'm sort of keeping an eye open for my next project in a year or so.
