^^ya, i know most wont like it, but eh, i dont care. i love it.

the car was built in my garage by myself and 2 good friends of mine. there isnt a single thing on it that wasnt done by our hands. we started the first weekend in january, and we had it done in late june. was quite the interesting project, thats for sure

Long ago the requirement was to at least have a fan shroud and a battery hold down.

can you tuck that rear bumper in a lil bit and perhaps put some spacers on teh rear wheels to make them stick out a lil more?

Not my cup of tea because its a little too wide all around for me but still appears to be quality work. Why didn’t you change your stock shift assembly though with all that other custom work?

in the pics, the car isnt 100% together. notice the no wipers or rear view, lol. i worked on puting it back together up until about 10 mins before the show, and forgot a few things. but that will be fixed. shortened since it has the most rediculous height to it, and a new knob w/ a boot.

thanks for the comments all, good or bad

thanks guys. i wanted to get a deeper dish rim to pull out the meet the widebody, but the way the QP’s are, i would have to completely tub the wells, and build custom tubs, and possibly even swap in an IRS from an alero.

but who knows. we’ll see what next year brings. I either wanna sell it, or if not, just go completely wild with it. thought about doing a RHD conversion. idk, i need to get back to doing some side jobs first.
