HELP! my 79 Monte Carlo should be low like this....

[axisg]

So am I the only one who doen't like the look ? I mean it's your car but I think the money could be better spent in go fast, handling, and stopping power.

Meh it takes all kinds to make the world go round. Gotta admire the hard work that goes into it though

I'm with you. i like the "drag look" but i like the look of a nice Pro touring car too. or even a low rider every once in a while. I like diversity, it would be boring if every one built the same sh*t.

I know what you mean, but I wanna go more for a smooth-low-cruiser-drag-theme than a racer-protouring-thing...

@bourbon so your rear section of frame is kinda stock?

to "notch" the frame - I just don't get that 100% what does it mean.. Its something like this I did on a modelcar-frame?? :wink:

depends on what you are into, if you aren't into speed, spending money on the engine isn't gonna make you happy. i've spent $60k+ building a car before and did nothing as far as engine internals.

But also, big wheels are like g-strings, anyone can put them on, but it doesn't mean they look good. :?

lol you have a couple spare minutes on your hands don't you??

Yeah, I liked the black one except for the portholes. To me, leave the portholes to the Buicks. I'm more into pro touring and not into the drag car thing or the low rider thing, but can appreciate anything done well.

(My car tries to be Pro Touring, but looks more like white trash touring as it sits...lol.)

[CruizinKev]
