im also thinking of running a baja type exhaust the kind that has a stinger sticking up in the air, if anyone has one i would want it, prefrence going to the chrome style! also looking for some prelude front seats, and bass speakers with wire grills!
shes gonna be an attention seeking whore, so let me know will these options suit this car or what kinda style/mods should i go with everyones input would be great!

clearance between front beam and ground perhaps ?
-
BINGO!!!!!!! PDT_Armataz_01_37
-
thats way too much clearance, your not living close enough to the edge
-
iagree but that measurement was taken with stock tires on. Might be a bit lower once the 135`s are on it.

Lose the 2, 1/4" sounds better!

vega tail lights are played out.
you need to get 12 teardrop tail lights and arrange 6 on each rear fender in the shape of a flower. duct tape a bullet signal lense in the middle of those and voila... :-*
-
i think i have a whale tail kicking around! lol_hitting

Hey Stefan... Thanks for the whale tail ;) We finally got around to puttin it on last night and were able to roll it out of the shop for a few pics....

BAMM!!!! that thing is so hot i had to quote the whole damn post all over again with the pictures!!! great job buddy!!!
as far as rotors go...talk to jim martin...i'm pretty sure he went with a Neal set-up and iirc...they've got a great product, good selection and are reasonably priced.
keep it up and let me know if you need an extra set of hands/eyes/ears/etc!!

Looks awesome! PDT_Armataz_01_37

considering a sell on this one....
-
WHY
-
im fighting with the urge, ill be honest patina aint my number 1 thing, i want to get my 58 shipped from ont and finish that, i wanna go fast and this aint the car to do it in for me
-
ok so ive decided to keep going on this car, i got back into it tonite, pulled my trans swaped back to a short/short axle set up after having brake alignment issues using long/short axle set up it looked better but the brakes just wouldnt work, so got that back together and its back on its wheels the heat in the bakers shop was workin well so figured i would finish the bumper brackets and rear apron, got them all tacked up and into place and to my surprise the decklid even latched, rest assured kevin can do something right!! :P
-

-
Good to hear Kevy!! Now get that real engine over here from Toronto and into your car.
