About

This car was purchased on 3/3/2007 from Spitzer Dodge in Akron, OH. The car is a 2004 Chrysler 300M Special. It had 25,385 miles at the time of purchase. "Son of Trigger" will somewhat pickup where "Project M" left off. We are going to do thing in a different way, but hopefully have the same great results.

The car has gone through an amazing transformation...
