Its no different than someone taking a 50s car and choping the top, channeling it and sectioning it. When they are done there isnt one original panel on the car. Some people like the original look and some like to make it their own style. Some people hate lowriders but some of them have more new original parts on them than a restored car. But if he were cutting up the back of the car the same way to tub it out for a ford 9" rear end and some 15x12 weld wheels with mickey thompson tires it would be ok. Whats the difference?

Thousands of G bodies go to the crusher every day and all the parts are lost. At least this way, they are not lost. If you really want to be disgusted about something, be mad at that, not someone who is building one. (Well.. except for the ones jacked up on 28's. Those people are just stupid! :lol: )

I also agree that is better to see someone make a car their own rather than let it go to the junk yard. So thumbs up there, I guess it's the sterotype that a lot of people who do the slammin and baggin. Everyone knows what I am talking about, some people just don't want to say it. Don't take it personally, remember its just a forum!

i left lawitlow.com because everyone was fighting over bags vs juice now its bags vs drag???? i can have respect for anyone who does their own thing to these cars as long as it is done right whether i like it or not. these cars have been wrote off by most everyone so whats it matter?? i drive my cutlass to work everyday and get made fun of for driving a beater! i just ask them if they would like to race.....

Anyone can go out and buy a car, someone who builds one has more character in my book.

my personal belief is i will not do anything to the car that i can not reverse at a later time. my regal for example has air ride, custom interior, 5.7 vortec engine, shaved everthing and soon to have custom paint not to mention the audio video setup BUT if in 10 years i decide i want to restore it to a factory car then i can do it. since i have owned my regal i have rebuilt it 3 times and it changes and gets better everytime and if you alter something on it that you can not reverse it might come back to haunt you. right now i have all i would need except for the original engine and transmission to take it back to a factory car.
