  2. OK, here is my first thought because I have no info to offer "that is the damn ugliest exhaust I have ever seen".. and why are the carb scoops pointed sideways??
     
  3. I kind of like the car because of the way it sits. I have no knowledge of the car though. Sorry, Chip.

    zero stance.
    don't like the split-bones angle/mount
    tie-rod in front.

    All in all it looks about a step above a full blown rat rod.

    Wasn't it in an issue of Ol Skool Rodz???
    Maybe find that issue and read up on it.
    And NO....I don't have the issue....hahahaha

    There was a article on this car in "ol skool rodz" a few months ago-#17 September 2006. Tuner mufflers and fake Oldmobile valve covers. Need we say more??
     
  8. Does it still have the Fauxmobile valve covers? From what I can see, it doesn't, but I am half blind...literally.

    Neat Car. A little spendy though....$10K and reserve still not met.

    I'd drive it.....

    Yeah, there are few things that I would change. A paint job would sure clean it up.

  12. The only thing I can think of the short bones is to match the arc radius to eliminate bump steer!! Looks like S##T with that set up and absolutely horrific with the tuner exhaust.

    Looks like it was built by someone trying to get in on a trendy thing, but has no idea how to SAFELY built a car.

    fuckin'a right.

    the import mufflers on the "headers" are a travesty.
    the suspension looks about ready to fall off, and fake patina just kinda pisses me off. ( I realize the last one may draw some blood, but charecter is earned
    not applied with a sander and laquer thinner.)

    hokey. my buddies would beat my ass if I built it, and I would thank them for it.

    Set screw hits a rib on those carbs... that's why you see them crooked most the time.

    Nice wheels and tires, and Model A grille shell. Take off the carbs and scoops and scrap the rest of it...

    Geez, we can build all kinds of shit but we can't figure out how to engineer scoops on straight?

    Amen, and he would know.

    Don't like the frame rails, the bones arrangement or the exhaust. If that much jumps out at a novice like me, it should tell you somethin.

    I like it alot, minus a few things like the exhaust and lack of cheater slicks.

    I admit it. If only everyone else that likes it admitted it, this thread would completely turn around.

    Not one thing I like about it, except the valve covers. For my Olds motor of course.

    I like the basic style but the pretend olds valve covers and the fart cans are retarded.
