thanks, it uses the stock latch and location. the car is actually a light tan. and i am going to repaint it, but that will be a while.

wow It looks pure white, so what the next step? cause you move really rapidly Ive noticed lol

i made it pur white for ya, also shaved everything including the top and rocker strip. work will commence again tomorrow night, getting the sheet metal for the trunk hopefully tomorrow.

This son of a b**ch is looking good. I shaved my drip rails around the windows and if you take the chrome strip off the top of the door, the weather stip comes off the chrome piece and you can screw that back to your door. Oh but you have to take the door glass out.

Looking good man.

I really would like to see that car dripped in a Pearl White. Lots of coats and lots of clear to make it look deep, like a bowl full of Carnation Instant Breakfast. 8)
that could work, but ONLY if girls would want to to lick it!

gonna frame out the floor with 1x1 and sheet it then. I think i am going to make a mount for my sons wagon then also, then it will all get sprayed with black bedliner.

i am using slam re6's, gonna switch to universal airs in the back though for more lift. gotta finish the trunk then flip the hood, shaved the rest of everything, then overt the winter, suicide the doors, kill the half top and rocker panels and get it in primer i hope.

well then, we arent running the same motor then now are we? lol j/k i may even sell that motor, i could use the money to do something else to the car.

naw with that hood you need a big motor that stupid v6 aint gunna impress nobody. lol you should get fiberglass doors and make gull wing doors, wait as low as that thing sits you would have to crawl in! lol. When I first read it I didnt think suiside would look very good but thinking more, It should look prety cool with the reverse hood and trunk!

yeah but i dont really care about speed, i would like some more power which i can get with my 6 cyl with some bolt ons, just because i cant keep up with 4 cyl s10's going to shows.

i think you will like the V-8 much better. you make your son's wagon? that is pretty awesome as well. and i think the bedliner is a pretty good idea. Should be easy to keep clean that way
