nice car, but you need to take the formula graphics off and get new ones and put them on straight. but other than that it looks great! i love the 88-92 Formula wheels, those look awesome on these cars!

I like how you made it look like a formula- makes it look a little newer. what happened to the mirror, tho- looks like you left it in the microwave a little too long, lol. Anyway- good-lookin' car.

I like you car. It needs some cleaning up as said...fix the drooping air dam, and get rid of the formy decals until you get a 350, but other than a bunch of little stuff, its nice.
I especially like your tail light mod, and the formy wheels.

ya i would get rid of the Formula decals because it isnt a formula and for sure get rid of the 350 decals because its not a 350 either. no sense in passing it off as something it isnt.

Hi 1bdbrd !
well ...i actually put those decals on cause i wanted to fool everybody and think that is something that is not.
yes ...i think i have a 350 but its a 173
but i deny it even with the hood open !
But that's my intention ...be a wannabe.

Now what you think?


UPDATE :
I have a friend and he has the real F350 and he bought the decals and painted the car...later he realized he wanted a plain look and said to me ...hey ..let's put it in your car..
and i said ..why not ?
thats the story ...look at my profile..its a 173 CID
i never lied...clear now ?

Nah, I remember it from the last time. Every couple of months sammycalderon posts pictures of his car with a title like "look at my car now" and it always looks the same.

I always click the link expecting to see fresh paint, or some kind of modification. Nah, just dents and dirt like always.

BTW: I realize that my car is a turd as well. But I don't post pictures of it unless I do something to it. And I mean something besides washing it.
