Right! What did I say? *fixed*

IIRC the SVX also used 5x4.5" pattern and R180s...

The green chassis may or may not stay around. The more I think about it the more I want to hold it up in a storage unit and fully prep it for insanity duty, but I may just simply not be able to make that happen unless I can find someone generous enough to become the caretaker of it.

I say strip it for everything useful, then use it for target practice. Sounds like a fitting end to a wicked car.

I hate to say this.. but wicked cars should die sliding.. not being shot to bit.

It can get ugly when you try to pull a lot on sedans.




Before:


This shot really gives an idea of just how wide this car is now. Added about 8" total width from center to center of contact patch.



Add this:


After:






I feel pretty good about the finish, but the Olive is going to get another coat if/when I do the bottom section.

feelin' it! ...need to take some toothpaste and rub the oxidation off those headlights!

dope

thats pretty dick.....what color will the bottom be? you should do brown or black...that be dick

For some reason I could see it towing one of these....

I agree brown or black would be pretty sweet

The headlights are going to stay yellow, it adds character.

I was thinking either olive on the bottom or the same satin black as the top, but after painting it sort of naturally inclined towards another plan of doing a Nakajima (Subaru = Fuji Heay Industries = Nakajima Aircraft Company) A6M or Ki fighter plane scheme complete with markings and all.

I fully agree with that plan of action, fighter plane scheme will be epic

AGREED!

These are about a week old. I usually post progress 2 or 3 steps behind, so the car is always farther along in person than it is online


Still need to transfer my wheel over.

awesome....nice skirts and shifter!!!

Fixed broken stuff


More paint, more pull. Got photo'd at a local "meat"




Paper widebody



70-80mph entry is too fast for this spot. Spent about 15 minutes waiting for tow truck and the rest of the night laughing my ass off. Car had ben together for 2 weeks and has been on street duty 6 nights.





...and 24 hrs later, back on the street.


Now complete with metal flares made from a filing cabinet and 15x10 -40. I don't waste any time.
