I just love it......i'd probably change a few things if it was mine, but what do you think of the car? more specificly the rear fender flares and the blower look/tunnel ram. out of the hood?

It certainly has that "I'm stuck in the 80's" appeal to it.
I'm gonna have to say on the fender flares.

I agree, I don't like it. I don't like the fender flares or how the back is so high.

I personally don't see anything on that car that I would add to mine other than...saaayyy...WAX?
I like red cars, but otherwise it's overdone, IMHO.

you guys use the terms "*******" and "hick" as if they are a bad thing...

i am proud to be a hick/*******. this past wednesday i enjoyed a great afternoon at the farmshow.

also when ever i am cruising in my TA, the only 2 cds i listen to are G'n'R Appetite for Destruction and Bon Jovi Crossroads. And yes i have raised white tires on 15 inch rims. hahaha


hehehh...but anyway, from a techical standpoint, i doubt that car drives that well. a tunnel ram and dual quad setup on a 305 is, well, some what over kill to say the least, especially if the motor is stock other than the "Crane high lift, high duration cam". i could be wrong, but those mods arent on the list of stuff i would do to a 305 if i was trying to make fast car that still drives well.

but i guess it is a show car, so how it drives and runs isnt really important.

If there is something sticking out of the top of my hood it better be a damn blower....Not a dual intake atop a 305.....

I think he is a big fan of the "wide track" Grand Prix. Only his version sux.
I'd hate to see 8" of tire sticking our from the side of my car, I'd get stuck on curbs and everything
At least bring that ugly fender flare all the way down or something. Not like we can't fit 11" tires UNDER the car.
Looks like a pos, interior is all stained and take a look at that nice weatherstripping.:hail:

Way too much & I have never really liked the bras on the front of our cars. I did like louvers until I had a set of them on the back of a 1978 Firebird & it is a pain to clean under them.

The scoop & two carbs on a 305 is a waste IMHO.

He went way off the deep end to put civic seats in when 4th gen seats bolt right in & are available at practically every salvage yard, unless you want to go with aftermarket.

I vote ":nono: "

Slight misinformation. A true *******-mobile would sport all 4 of those It is also nessecary that at least one of them is falling apart OR hanging on the car by only one screw.
