Seeing how 20's would look in back with 18's in front.

This thread is both for show & to get some stereo opinions & advice. Figured I'd show a way I'm putting my existing aftermarket stereo into a 2019 ford transit company work truck . Mine to use, but don't own. For a few reasons, partially my currently low budget, I'm leaving factory stereo &...

Well, we have a thread on wood blocks and one on jackstands, how bout one on lifting?? Told my wife I was doing work truck brakes, again, on the 10,000 lb freightliner sprinter workvan. She asked how would I lift it without specialized lifting equipment. With one finger on the center lever of a...

Went to a local church benefit type car show yesterday, not to enter. Was a little disappointed walking past all the personal family cars, crappy imports, parking lot cars, etc when I recognized an airbrushed el camino from south fla owned by a friend I used to see one a year at silver spring...

In summer of 2009', started making my el camino a 2010 camaro nose conversion. Some loved it , some severely hated it (whatever) , switched to a 2016 nose in 2016 as many of you know. Like it or hate it, it got attention. I've seen photoshop pics, partial swaps, many people wanting & talking...

Not sure if there was already a joke of the day type thread on here before. I'll go first. I heard that inflation is getting so bad rapper 50cent is considering changing his name to Buck 45. :roll:

Probably shouldn't subject myself or my unfinished work to the embarrassment, but I got put on you tube at local mainstreet cruise in Saturday. may want to skip through first few minutes.

This is actually learning a new product for staining fiberglass entrance doors at my day job. A 2 component water based heat rejecting product from Canada ($150 to $200 per gal. Has a base material similar to automotive basecoat, then a tinted topcoat. I'll probably mostly use it on...

Hadn't had time or energy to get outdoors to my project, so did another pencil sketch for someone making an ls powered mid engine car using the shell of a 79' trans am. Car is in initial stages & has roof chopped & axle moved 10" back. I added rear fender & sailpanel vents & flush rear window...

Kinda cool, but not exactly the best design of a fastback.

Recently heard a few videos with 8 into 1 sequential merge headers, which gives a distinct higher revving sound similar to a flat plane crank engine , such as Ferrari. Pretty similar to 180 degree headers sound. Obviously the main reasons you don't see more of them is packaging issues for...

Planning sheet metal changes on the still damaged passenger side of my el camino. Changed to a 2016 Camaro nose & 2016 z06 vette rear bumper over 1 1/2 years ago & still need to finish blending things in. I'll finally delete the stainless sword blades at bedrail location & cut off the 1959...

Sometimes when I can't get out & work on my stuff, I get bored & draw. This is my latest el camino concept drawing. Started out based on a 2 door impala drawing, then I ended up changing most of the shapes. Considering one day doing the rear visor & swoopy rear side shape to my Camaro nose el...
