Good looking, looks almost Foose'ified.
Got pics of it's stance from the rear?
I was thinking about those wheels, in black w/powder coated centers and fitting some turbo-6 logos on them.

Right on brother! The Foose'ified look was my inspiration. I will work on getting some rear end pics taken possibly in the middle of the week.
 
gosh, you got a poster car there 2tone. i'll take a high res pic if you don't mind..beautiful looking 2 tone.....wicked...already on desktop.
 
BTW, not intending to hijack the thread... but have you done anything w/the audio system yet?

Also, I'd love to see some shots of it's stance from both the front and rear if you dont mind. I was actually thinking about those wheels, same ones.

Fast4ward, just something I noticed about the car. Your right rear BF is on in the wrong direction. It needs to be turned around!
 
My dads GN that he got new back in 87 with only 14k on it. its been sitting for years.... Its getting a new tank and fuel pump, all of the sitting is not the best for it. This is a pic is from the hot rod power run back in 03 the last time it was out on the road.

17" simmons wheels.
8's up front and 9's out back with 275 and 1.5" springs..

Simmons was probably the best after market wheel for this car, shame they went out of business. 235/45ZR17 & 255/40ZR17 is the ideal stance for this car also!

New Custom 3-pcs Weld Racing RT Series

Fronts: Weld Vitesse RT Series 4"x15" (1.75" BS) w/MT Sportsman S/R 26x6.00-15
Rear: Weld Vitesse RT Series 9"x15" (5.5" BS) w/MT ET Street DR's 295/55-R15

These were custom made and currently the only set in the WORLD

I am VERY happy with the results...I wanted to retain the gold theme (the centers are gold anodized) but update to a more modern racing look ;)

Even the stock WS6 center caps fit nicely :cool:
