i could go on all day but i think you get my point.
I also plan on doing some more rat rod style stuff, like Rat Fink decals, pin stripes, and some Mexican blanket seats, etc...

ive never really liked what you have been doing to your box, but it does look interesting.
doesnt look bad at all, i agree that the red wheels kinda clash, not on only yours, but those other cars too. just because it is classic doesnt mean its right.
either way, keep up whatever your plans are.

that dusty interior is uber goth.
in all seriousness, the car looks sweet. i like the red wheels and understood right off the bat what you were going for, even though the wheels are more of a jdm inspired thing.

Love the old skool shifter. How hard was it to modify it? OD button and the gear release button? If it wouldnt bother you can you shoot me a PM? Ive had an idea floating around for a while but I would like to know how you did it.

Very cool. I really dig it. So you painted this yourself? Can I also ask.....a couple of pics down you can see in side your front wheel well. How come the plastic looks all bent up? Were you rubbing? Just curious.

I guess the wheels would be the modern part of the whole look.

you made my day with this photo..
when i was first looking in the interior i noticed the bar and was like...is that what i think it is?? and low and behold it was!! i so always thought that would be mad pimp in an xb (mini trucker rat rodish) i was looking at the marble ***** as well for the longest time... but my car is not built to that style so it would be not tasteful if i did it to mine but i'm glad i got to see someone do it! YAY! thats so PIMP! *gets all giddy*nice tatts btw ...great expression of living-art IMO

thanx^ I made that shifter after one of my co workers made a joke about doing one, I was like "done deal" and I have loved it ever since.
on a diff note it is amazing how much a diff camera makes in the color of a car, this was taken at a car show by a fellow car club member with a "real" camera, looks compleatly different.
