finally got to take the new motor out for a spin. need to do something about this ss hood though as even at idle the damn thing looks as if it's going to shake off from the cam...sure was good to take a drive after months. heres some slightly new pics of the new wheels, hood and paint. she goes back in next week for more work....not that it matters since it won't stop raining.

 

one more...

 

damn!

lookin sweet, big guy. that tint really jumps out in those pics. and the wheels are gleamin.. and the paint... awesome.

 

thanks...that double limo is a b!+ch on the street though at night.

 

i bet!! my 15% is dark enough, and i can't see ANYTHING out the back (5%)

still.. your car owns.

 

it's alot of fun for sure, i thought my 383 was quick last year..this new 388 is something else. too bad it was wet out...

 

at least it moves im halfway through intake gasket swapout...and i've already broken 2 things.

so did you decide on some plans for the paint? do i hear 2 tone?

 

i'm keeping somewhat a solid color...you can already see some of the candy fade on it in the side pic. most of the custom paint will be ghost like as i want it to look solid from afar. i really like the two tone jobs however the more i played with it the more the car looked odd from a distance. i want it to stand out from a distance and up close really stand out....i couldn't do that with the two tone the exact way i wanted.

we'll see though, it should turn out nicely.

 

found another picture on the net from autorama too....

 

Looks GREAT! I had double limo on my old car.. it was awesome!

 

that looks sweet , how do you get double limo done, is it two different layers or just 2.5%.

 

timeslip or i call BS

looks the same to me, awesome

 

lol...that's good if it looks the same to you!

 

simply awesome

 

looks great... you should loose the "tuned port injection" thing, bage on the rear bumper. it cleans in up back their w/o it.

here is a pic of my bumper w/o the bage... (no more mud-flaps )

 

WTF is candy fade . i think you may be a tad upsesed with your paint.

i see noting wrong with it.

 

its darker in the front then in the back....just look.

as far as the back emblems....i'm either shaving them completely off or leaving it as i think it looks odd with just one emblem on either side. plus if you look closely at the tpi it isn't the 5.7 anymore.....custom, yet subtle touches like that all over the car keep it different from the rest which i like.

 

i like how it looks with one bage...

i can't whait till all of the gold bull **** is off my car, make way for some 4th gen bages and some FIKSE FM/5s, full polish of coarse. :rockon: :rockon:

 

Kendied91z... do you have any other plans with the car b/c it looks awesome!

do you ever think about starting a new 3rd gen project, mabey a pontiac.

 

a few more things which should be finished by summer.....i love my 91 but i would never build another thirdgen as they are way to expensive to build up. i could have built two mustangs just as nice as my own.

 

whatever you do to your car is awesome, you got good tast, you inspiered me to build my car, or to start at least, but i see what you are talking about with the $$$ EVERYTHING COSTS TO MUCH!!!

 

sweet looks good

 

looking great Jeff


so are we going to line them up at superfest this year or what

 

i'll be waiting.......need to either reverse mount the hood or install pins though as the damn thing shakes so much from the motor i'm affriad it's going to mess up the paint.
