You have got to get em sit right.

My 1st car was a 76 VW bug in lime green. One time the throttle linkage broke on the peddle. A buddy that was with me clipped some vise grips on it and gave it the gas when I told him to so we could get home 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost with every vehicle its all about stance. Watched a show on GM getting vehicles ready for the Chicago Car show and every single one they were doing things to get the "stance" just right. Amazing what even 1/2" wheel spacers will do to the looks of a car if the backspacing isn't right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a rotten pos with a bondo body job. Only had it for about 8 months before I sold it for a '81 Jimmy. Only trucks since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like tastefully done trucks of which that is. Not a ridiculous lift nor are the wheels too far out the fender. Nice looking truck. Not a huge fan of the deep dish rims but that's still pretty nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some great car movies back in the day. I miss those, like Crazy Larry and Dirty Mary. 1 hour ago, Cold War said: Watched thunderbolt & light foot yesterday on Netflix . like that movie, great cast. a young, smoking hot, daisy Duke makes a small appearance That was a great flick that I forgot all about.

Guys in my area made some damn nice looking Monte Carlo's, Olds Cutlass and Buick Regals in the early-mid 80's. Still trying to find a 83-84 Hurst Olds. Some pretty sweet G-body's but they were slow as fuck. My brother had an incredible looking one. Two tone with t-tops and Craiger keystone classic wheels with Uniroyal white letters. Damn that was a nice car. they were still complete pieces of shit and slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't have today's cars to compare them with. I removed the stripes from mine and just left the SS on the door. I had the t-tops in mine but no A/C. Tell me that doesn't look sweet.
