that stereo install is insane however I agree with other members when they say that the wing on the back is a be excessive. I however do like that back window vent thing...kinda cool.

i know where you can get that wing, razor back and the body flair kit. its all pretty ugly though. i think that interior looks like something out of a late 70's scifi movie like the 1st aliens when riply is in the computer room with all the lights? yeah pretty lame. lots of work done though, if he did it himself i give him A LOT of credit. thats a lot of work guys...not to mention money.

Sorry guys but sometimes I feel most of you guys are too nice on this board. That car looks like it came straight out of TJ Mexico.

what the... the only thing i am impressed with is the trunk... other than that everything is just way to retro for me... i can appreciate all the work that was put into it, but can't help to consider it a waste of time imo... cool car.. but it's not 1986 anymore...

i was only 2 years old, but it seems like at the time car stereo was all about "more is better." This car is very overdone. I would have thought if the guy put this much time and money into that setup, he would have re-done it in the last 15 years or so.

Totally insane. I wish I could afford to get a system like that. The only problem is it would be thumpin country tunes instead of what it was meant for.

i will agree with most people here.. now, it looks outdated n kinda well.. down-south-ish... however, if we were back in the 80's i would be damn proud to cruise around in that car

another thing everyone overlooked.... wtf did that guy do to his gas door thing? where do you put the gas. does he pop the hood and empty his garbage can into some crazy tube like the Delorian in Back to the Future?

He's got a fuel cell in the hatch area... I really don't know how he did that! He must have a tube frame rear end or something

So nobody knows for sure of how old those pictures are? I'll stick with Jim's estimate of 10 years old... that car must've been wild back in it's day! Where's my Whitesnake tape?
I wonder how much it could be done for on eBay now, though.
I did get a laugh out of the electronics in the console- you'd think if he removed the arm rest pad, he would've covered up the hinge/latch holes.
