Look Mongo does have a car

[Mongo]

I hav'nt posted any pics since I first bought the car. I just lowered it so I thought maybe I should post some.I put blocks in the back and cut the coils in the front. I have another hood and fenders that will be going on it in the next few weeks which is why I have'nt done anything to the front half of the car.

[/ QUOTE ]Thats what I thought. As soon as I dropped the jack I got a big smile on my face, I was really happy with the stance.

I like the Cragars too...wonder why. Guess it depends on what style you are going for. And as for the stance...bitchin'.

Don't change the wheels, the Cragers look great.

[Donzie]

[/ QUOTE ]Yes I have seen pics of Shortbus's.He wanted the fenders I bought for mine. I got dibs on them first though.

[RF]

Rusty Cragars rule! If they look too small on the car, lower it more!

[dvlscoupe]

Hmmm I liked the mags too, but if you would like I can get ya some dubs http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Ya know seeing as how those are to small http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif then you can give 'em to me so's that I can throw out my John Deer green steelies. My car looks like a Christmas ornament http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Mongo]

While I'm thinking about it.I need to have someone photoshop some fender skirts on it.Maybe some color ideas also.I wish I could have it at the BDK but it still does'nt have brakes. I am waiting on parts from Kanter.

[crewcutkid]

That thing is great. Does anyone have pics of the same type of car with a jacked-up rear?

[Rocket88]

Cragars good, but does Mongo like beans?

[Tony Bones]

Great stance. I kind of like Astros...but that's just me. Steelies w/ spiders are cool too.

[Mongo]

What I'm thinking is steelies with either full caps or maybe a small cap with beauty rings.

[speedaddict]

sweet... I really miss my 60 olds 98. I'm gonna get another one when i'm settled here.

[TINGLER]

Heres another vote for the CRAGARS... Don't bash the Cragar SS's.
Cragar's RULE.

(Rusty Cragars don't rule though)


TINGLER LIKE MONGO'S CAR. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[flatordead]

Altough it's not my cup of tee, I need to admit that 5 spoke Cragars look good on almost every '55 and up car. I would leave them on the car, looks good.

[kustombuilder]

Cragars SUCK!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[flatordead]

No Astros suck!!!!!!!!
And full moons too.

[beatnik]

Looks good Mongo, cragars ain't so bad with the thin white walls. Wide whites and shanon cones would be the ticket.

[whizzerick]

I've replaced and primed the front sheetmetal. Bolted a set of skirts, too.
What color are you goin' for?
Purple with magenta and lime graphics to go with the Cragars??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[saltflataddict]

FWIW - I vote no skirts.. the cragers looks good, but Astros would be better..

[Mongo]

Thanks for the photoshop.Just wondering what it might look like.

[kustombuilder]

HMM YEAH, you know i like skirts but they just don't look right on that car. i think it would make it look like some old man's car. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

i know you like blue so how about a blue fade job?? or something with scallops, that'd be a great car for scallops.

[Mongo]

I have a few different blue colors I was thinking about. The final paint will be a while off so I was thinking some tinted primer for a while whith some scallops.

[jalopy43]

Great ride Mongo!! I like the cragers. A blue fade would be bitchen.I need to visit Mittengan sometime.Michigan girls are the finest in the world. Glenn

[ShortBus]

Lookin Goood Mongo! You really nailed the stance and I like them Cragars too.

I saw the rear quarters of that same parts car the other day at a shop I was visiting in Bakersfield.. (I have the hood and some trim parts) That thing sure gets around. well, some of it does...

[studeboy]

Mongo its nice to see that I'm not the only one with a car in hiding. Just kiddin' Hopefully you can get that thing on the road soon.

A suggestion on wheels, how about chrome reverses with narrow whitewalls. Might look good with royal blue suede and white scallops. (see sowhats truck below, LOTS of pearl) Just a thought.
