Ok everyone... There was only 10 convertibles nominated this month, and usually we take the members with the most nominations to be put into the voting, but with the low amount of cars nominated I'm gonna put them all in.

So there they all are!!! Take your time and pic your favorite here! Congrats to everyone involved

 

My vote.. the first one on this thread by the way is for IANSANE.... dude that car rocks!

 

I gotta vote for shr00m on this one. I am normally a Camaro guy, but the wheels, color, and stance are SICK! Looks like a lowrider.

 

Well, I guess I'll be the first to ***** out my car.

I picked it up just a hair under a decade ago, and I'm sure I'll be buried in this thing. In 240k miles I've used it for everything. I've hauled lumber, motors, axles. It's gone from bone stock 305TPI/autotragic/drum car to an LSx/t56/disc car and currently under the knife getting a front mount single turbo and fully ducted radiator and reverse cowl hood. I've totaled it twice. I've gone through a few motor combos, a few brake combos, a few suspension, brake and wheel setups. I rebuilt the t56 when I wishbone'd the 3-4 shift fork. As much money as I've spent on this car, it's far from a checkbook build. I trade, barter and search for deals. I've turned every single bolt on this car, from the gas tank straps, to the steering column supports, to the convertible top pivots, to each fender support brackets. Anyone that's met me in person knows this car is an obsession. I drive it rain, snow, sleet, and of course in the sun. And 99% of that time the top is down! I get people asking me all the time whether it even has a roof because I'm always driving around in the rain with the top down. This is Washington afterall. If I didn't drive it in the rain I'd only get to enjoy a few weeks a year! I'm not sure I could even remember the entire mod list if I tried.












And, as it sits right now... I haven't driven it in a quite awhile. Hopefully I'll get it back on the pavement this summer.

 

Im doing this from my phone so I will post other pics later. Heres a video though.

Its a pretty thouroughly built car from the ground up. A shortened version of the parts list is in my sig, but the main parts are the 370 LS2, T56, and Ford 8.8".

 

Wow, doing this made me go through a lot of old pictures and even some videos. I've got some funny stuff!

Don't mind me, just need to get some wood for some garage shelves. The best part about this is I got into a little race with a g35 and smoked him getting on the freeway. How bad are you going to feel if you get beat by a car full of wood?


Back near stock I had a ball joint castle nut disappear on me. The officer wanted to tow me. I told him no! I have a friend bring a floor jack and he helped me push the car to the side of the road so I could replace the nut!


Awhile back I found a great deal on another LSx motor so I went to go pick it up.


And two vids;

First video is after I totaled the car. This is about the 3rd start up ever with the LSx motor before I took it to the body shop to fix. I drove it to the shop like this!

Second is a short romp onto the freeway when I started playing with the GoPro.

Alright....enough reminiscing. I just spewed pictures all over this place. Haha.

 

iansane..that's hardcore! I like it!

 

It totally is! Man you need a lil pick up truck! Totally funny pics though.

 

I think you forgot to do something after posting this...

 

All cars look great. Bluzee got my vote. Car sounds nasty too!

 

I've since picked up a little lowrider s10 for the real dirty duties but it's really, really hard to get out of the driver's seat of my trans am!

 

Lol @ iansane great pics

you got my vote

 

Here's some random pics of mine.

 

I definitely have to vote for Ian's Trans Am. I normally don't' like verts but I love his car and everything he's doing to it, and it seems that we almost always have the same taste in mods.

 

Vote is in, but as always hard to pick.

 

@Iansane...awesome car...Stance is perfect! Love the fact it's not a trailer queen! keep on keeping on!

 

1320b4u ALLLLLL TTTHHHEEEEEE WWWAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

 

damn now I feel kinda guilty for not staying Camaro loyal lol

 

You should

 

Its a great honor just being nominated..thank you.

 

Can we see more pics of your car since it is leading??
Thanks!

 

Man all great looking cars
If I had a chance I would of votes for everyone

 

I agree! Post some more pics and info about it. I assume you got my PM?

 

@ iansane:

Sweet...you got my vote.

 

I've never been a huge fan of vets, BUT this is a tough decision because all of them just look so good!

regardless of who i choose, these are definitely some prime examples of the Vert side of things!

 

Goodluck! Voted!!

 

WOW! this is the closest one I have ever seen..

Good luck to everyone... cant wait so see who the winner is...

LOL

 

BADNBLK I did get your pm...thanks. Against some great cars here.

Some stats on the car nothing crazy, LO3 700r4. Suspension components consist of spohn wonderbar, lca, panhard, edlebrock brace, and tokico blues/suspension techniques springs. Center exit exhaust (custom w/flowmaster can), recaros, alpine audio, baer track, hawks vert bar, goodmark hood and running 18x8/18.9.5 ridler wheels. 3rd 3rd gen i had out of 4 in total and only 1 i plan on keeping.

Whoops! Sorry about that.

 

You're a wild man Iansane! I love it. Gorgeous vert too! You got my vote

All of the cars are great though! Nice job guys. Keep up the nice work.

 

Gotta vote for Iansane... perfect stance, love the color scheme, and the obligatory LSx/T56... and the fact that it's daily driven makes it twice as cool!

1320B4U's car is extremely sharp as well. The paint scheme looks totally sweet and i really like the style and fitment of the CTW's! The black ones with the roll bar and the stripes contrast really well in that second picture.
Stiff competition though, lots of clean cars and they all have the perfect street thirdgen stance.

 

Iansane...one sweet ride man
good luck to everyone though

 

iansane - very funny. I do not have a pickup truck so I also occasionally will use the convertible to haul bulky items such as a chair or a potted tree.

But I voted for the 350 Formula convertible. That's one exotic tropical bird.

 

Good Luck iansane.

 

with my lack of computer at home I was unable to fully help kraz-z like I planned. I will wait for another month and renominate and get him to the win I hope.

 

Gotta vote for Iansane. That car is nuts. I have actualy had the pleasure of riding in it, in the rain too!

 

My vote has to go to Iansane, I've seen it in action, runs as badass as it looks!

 

Ian's car for sure! I have ridden in this car with the naturally aspirated 5.3L and it is pure awesomeness! And just wait until he gets the turbo install finished! Ian has been a good friend for many years and it would be super cool to see his car get COTM!

 

Only a few more hours to get your vote in.

 

Blue's still got my vote but Ian's pics friggin' kill me. Slap an El Camino bed on that pup and make it official, man! Still one of the nicest birds on the board!

 

tough call!

Many great verts!

 

I vote for 1320b4u. Always loved his car.

 

Congrats Ian

Thanks for the votes everyone. It means a lot that 31 people here would vote for my car no matter if I won or lost. (I voted for my dads car)

Blue, if it's any consolation, your's would have been my second choice.
