Check out the Body and Interior board for progress pics. Got some from before a car show on Saturday. Will have some more tomorrow to show a few more of the details


And yes, the rear wheels stick out way too far. They aren't mine though and aren't staying on the car. Might try and get the right offset ones though.

 

Sweet rides. Nice rims on the maro..what brand are they etc?

 

Nice pictures!
The 3rdgen looks pretty nice....awesome paint job.
I also like those rims.
The front sits perfect, just get the correct offset rim and slam the rear too!

Keep up the good work!

Tommy

 

looks great, love a beautiful black paintjob. start the right way an make sure you keep it "swirl-less"

 

Those wheels are centerline thrusters, right? I was looking at getting those before I decided to get the matrix wheels. I didn't know how they would look on a thirdgen, but now I have my answer and they look great. Your car is really looking nice with the new paint.

 

Tommy and Kandied, I've always admired both of your rides. It think it was your car Tommy that originally made me want to lower mine. Thanks for yours and the other compliments.

Nazzz28, I know the wheel are Centerlines, but I have no clue what the actual wheel name is, they belong to a friend of the guy who painted the car who just wanted to put them on for a car show on Saturday. I'm considering getting a set with the correct offset, but I may go with something else altogether.

 

beautiful rides!! :hail: :hail:

 

Digging the new paint job and the wheels look right at home except the offset in the rear! Keep up the great work and keep posting pics!

 

No problem buddy! I feel great knowing that I have inspired a fellow thirdgenner. My recent inspiration for my brake upgrades came from Kandied...thanks Kandied!

Brake upgrades are definitely in the line-up down the road, got other plans first though. In fact one of my original websites I made for a class a while back, I used a photo of your car on it I liked it so much.

 

Nice cars!

:hail: :hail: The '77-'78 T/A!!!! :hail: :hail:

 

wow looks like it came out great, nice job.

 

no problem tommy....lookin good!

 

got more pics Here you can really see how bad the offset is on the rear wheels. I cant believe they took it to the car show like that, but oh well, my wheels are back on it now. Also, now you can actually see the stripes. well, in some of the pics anyway

 

 

 

very nice car, gorgous paintjob

 

 

what rims are those?

EDIT: nvm just reread and realised you don't know either

 

like the subtle stripes...what color/dye was used for that? quit driving it though unless you change those wheels. you'll chip up the quarters badly.

 

violet pearl. can't see it, but he also mixed some in with the clear coat

 

it is truly a sweet paintjob

 

Thanks for all of the compliments. I just wish I could see it in person

 

That really looks nice!
Do the vents in the gfx have more blue in them or is that just how the light is hitting the paint?

 

could be...

 

Nothing like a nice new black paint job!!! Just keep it that nice! ... and theres definately something going on in the gfx but ou can keep it a secret if you really want

 

looks good besides the rear wheel ordeal.... looks to me that the drivers side sticks out more than your passenger side.. you might want to look into that... possibly need an adjustable panhard rod?

 

Looks great wish i would of kept my stock RS hood sometimes.

 

Looks great!

 

TexasLT1!!

I want a to see a hood shot of the Poncho!
The AF symbol looks bada$$ on the hood!!

 

bad *** 2nd gen and bad *** 3rd gen! Love the paint

 

Slap me twice and call me stupid....


What exactly causes the wheels to be offset like that?


Your car is an exact copy of mine only in black... has me thinking about painting it now

 

Car looks awesome, but did anyone else notice the fried oreos sign on the background? What the flip are those??
