Your future plans?

Vehicle history
My Dad bought new from a local Mitsubishi Dealership's Showroom floor, he started fixing it up slightly, showed it for years and drove it everyday to work showed on weekends, he won 12 awards when he had it, my senior year of high school, I bought it from him, because it was lowered and he got to where it was hard for him to get in and out of, he went to trade it but they only offered him $1500 for it, he turned it down, and I offered to buy it and paid him $3000 for it, I started slightly changing it to fit my liking, added a bodykit had the hood scoop molded to the hood ordered alot of new parts, after 27 yrs of the factory red, i decided it was time for a redo and it spent off and on of 5 years being bagged and painted to get it to its current state.
Thanks to
My Parents(Jerry & Sheila) of course for letting me buy it from them, My Fiancee (Crystal Webster) for standing with me and supporting me with it no matter what. My Son for being there with me at shows and always having fun supporting me, and My friends,neighbors, that have helped me in some form from assembly to hauling the unfinished truck, to letting me use a trailer to haul to a long distance show.
