Image removed- Three images per thread, as per the rules. Normally I keep the first three, but I'm sure you want that outside pic up. Please host more pics elsewhere to post them... and then post a lot of them

 

That is BAAD!!!

 

You car is awesome!! Can't wait to see full shots! theres just something about that colour :hail: :hail:

 

that look sweet man... what kinda of rims are those?

 

boyd coddington smoothie II
17x8 with 245 45 17 frt
17 x 10 with 285 40 17 rear

 

sweet . what bs did u get for the rims in the back .I got 5.5 .

edit: car looks great i almost forgot to say . You musy be so happy to be about done. But the car is away for the winter right?

 

dam that looks sweet man i love it cant wait to see some pics of her outside :rockon: :yourock:

 

thanks nolan your car was the inspiration for me getting the rims.

5.75 on the rear 4.5 on the front guess is should of posted that too since someone may need it. i also had to find the right lugs. the ones that i had on the car needed a 13/16th socket. with these boyds you can only fit a 3/4 so i got mcguard tuff lugs and lock set.1.5 12 mm conical seat with closed end, what a pain to sort through all the types to find. they finished em off nice and they are great quality guaranteed not to rust either. with my 13" brakes the stem is so close to the caliper i can not run the chrome cap only a plastic one will work. the stem is very short now i may have to find one even smaller like the ones that bolt from the inside to be able to run a chrome cap. with the crome cap it just ticks the caliper. it would suck to snap that stem off while driving. all in all i am super pleased with the look.

the car also has a rake look to it, i wonder if its the relocation brackets that do that. i not sure what makes it sit like it does but i like it. off the stands makes it look completly diffrent.

its away for the winter sitting in the garage..took so long to finish but i am very pleased with the results all the hard work and sore everything was worth it. i will get it outside to run some just no driveing till spring when i will plate it.

 

lookin good

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

man, i have watched this since you posted the first "project ressurection part 1" and WOW MAN, im sooo impressed, it turned out so nice dude. Your choice of color was awsome and man did you do a great job, hats off to you!

 

damn jeff your car is amazin! i love the boyds!:hail:

 

very nice

 

Kickin' *** on the wyiiiiiiiilde siiiiiiiiiiide!!!!!!
That color is goin' to be so clean in the sun!!!!
Especially once you get all the blackout work done...
Any plans for the Spohn frc's???

 

thanks Kevin...you gave me some great advice and it show

yep sfc thats a mod i still need to do, but i need to find a shop i trust to weld em in, car is pretty solid i can hold it up on 3 stands, not that i try it but it tends to just happen when it is way upi high like for the trans work. i do have a strut tower brace in black to install now that it is on the ground i can do that.

:werd:


awsome car man! i love the color :hail:

 

What a long way that car has come... Keep us posted. I can't wait to see it in the sun

 

well after seeing the results i am going to try to paint my car myself. your car is very inspiring!

ive watched it since the first post

excellant car jeff, keep up the good work

 

sah-WEET!

 

Very nice, I remember when you first started workin on it, now you just need some outdoors pics to show us the Candy paint!

 

What tires are those looks real good. You bought a new nose was it a gm peice?

 

yep new bumper cover was gm and lower gfx, 1 new gm fender and 1 after market fender and hood

tires are bfg kdw

 

Did the aftermarket fender fit ok

 

this may sounds a little wierd but you should paint the inner fender walls....you know those plastic cover thingys? yea you should paint them black they look a little dirty/rustyish

 

Wait its plastic it dont rust he can just buff it and spray some tire wet on it so dirt doesnt stick.

 

yep the inner plastic needs a good scrubbing.. the after market fender is ok not gm perfect for sure there is a diffrence on the inside.. it did take some working it to align just right more bending than the gm fender.


can't wait for a sunny day to get it out and take better pics. did some detailing today after i found the problem with the intake gasket. parts run tomorrow...never ends gotta love it

 

one nightime outside pic

now that it is running woo woo

 

Wow i like that blue what color blue is that.

 

house of kolor cobalt candy blue

can;t wait for the sun to come out for day time pics outside. that garage does not do it justice as neither does digital cameras.

 

HUBUDA HUBUDA HUBUDA!!!!!!


MAN THAT THING IS SWEET

again man GREAT JOB!:hail: :rockon:

 

What are the parking lights i forget 1157's? If they make them in silverstars u need them the ones that are blue till u turn the flashers on then they are orange.

 

i want some i need some silver stars huh i gotta go find some that will be cool

 

That looks sick man.

I love that color blue and those wheels look great. I can't wait to see some daytime pics. Very nice work.

 

i just know those pics dont do any justice... but it still looks great.

i'm excited to see better photos.

p.s. neons look great
