Easystreet front and rear. Won't quite tuck the front though, some minor cutting is in the car's near future. The car was recently vandalized and i am going to focus on fixing that damage first (busted windshield, dented and keyed passenger and driver side and shattered headlight). Ugh...

Which set you like better? The konig's on the passenger side or the Ikon GT6's on the driver's side? The shaved trunk is from the first vandalization a few years back, needed sanded so i decided to matte it out. The hood was signed by everyone in attendance of the 2009 John T. Scott II memorial car show. An 8x10 photo of the hood is at his mausoleum table.
car looks good how u like the air can u drive with the front all the way down?
No its pretty rough and i'm afraid that i'll hurt the car. The swaybar is bottomed out on the subframe and the fenders need rolled. There's a certain point that the ride isn't bad at all, but at full drop or full height its pretty brutal.
yea i agree i still love the ride tho its way smoother than my coilovers thats for sure plus the looks u get when your laid out in a parking lot lol
the shifter is......unique. no me gusta.

All stock...........lol.
It's not a rat rod, it's a modern economy car..... therefore I HATE your little shifter idea.
And why 2 different sets of wheels? Could be a clean and nice car if it had 4 matching wheels and a normal shifter on a compact car, rather than trying to take the old rat rod ideas and implement them on cars they do not look good on.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

I was given the Konigs and busted the other 2 GT6's in a pothole. I like the shifter and it still has a short throw underneath it so it still feels very positive. I did it to drive home the theme with the suicide knob and 8 ball shift knob (not on in the pics). It was mainly for the memorial car show, but it was something different and others have commented about how they like it. To each their own!

im just not feeling it, its like you have the bagged show car, the rat rod, the racing look, its like you can't figure out what you want to do so your just throwing it all on the car. it just doesnt work for me. was there damage and that's why you added the flat black or were you trying to go with the whole trendy flat black scene? i personally hate the whole flat black, but if your going for it, use a satin so it at least looks like a clean finished look versus the whole. my car got damages so i threw on new parts and they are in primer. if that actually was damaged parts that you hadn't painted yet, never mind my comment.

I like the car alot, as for flat black being a trend, maybe it is, but for me, I've always had @!#$ty paint, and always fixed rust and am way too broke for paint.

There was damage to the roof and trunk, and the hood is a replacement as well, i have plans to paint the entire car this summer. There is a lot of damage to the entire car right now as it was reently vandalized so a new paint job is a must. I figurred that i would change it up a little with the flat black till the car is painted. i like my cars with shine!
Ugh! a friend and I were going to do the chalkboard hood idea!
Do the whole car with it!
Flat black ftw!

good to hear. once you get it repainted i think the exterior anyway will flow allot better together.

yikes. can you really drive with that shifter?
Yep, i drive the car every day just like that. I prefer the feel without it, its the shortest and firmest throw of any car i've ever drive. The car hasn't gotten me stuck yet and thats saying something conseidering the amount of snow we've had!

It was originally signed in chalk, but I used hairspray and flat clear as a fixative. I wont wash off, but it will be covered in some new colors when the car is finally painted.
keep the rims on the passenger side. shouldn't have done the black but it doesnt look bad.
didnt you post a while back, where you got this car for dirt cheap??
