yeah its cause I cant drive it to kick ass places and take pics with it. and it doesnt run.

After I get my new motor, expect it to be moved around in the drive way.

and after I get ALL of my performance mods done and the car runs a good number(in a few years) ill repaint her my self silver. with t/a fenders

I like the wheels Matt, but the color of the car makes it really hard to see any real shine.

Secondly, whats with that elevated ride height? Those are 16" wheels - why so much gap in the wheel wells? Have you considered lowering springs?

He's got the motor apart, and the top end of a sbc weighs down the nose a good deal. I have a decent amount of gap in the wheel wells, and that's with eibach pro-kit springs installed. But I have aluminum heads, manual steering, etc, so there is less weight on the nose.

Thanks for the compliments

The wheels were TONS OF WORK!! I must have spent nearly ten hours on each wheel to get them to look how they do now, ask Paul(smoking ss) how bad the wheels were, he sold them to me..


I got the stock intake on though

Things that are off-
Headers
Carb
valve covers
Fan-through timing chain
Rad.

I also only have the back seats in the car, and the interior is in my garage.

Maacos can do a half decent job if you pay them for it. Not to mention that the quality of the staff has a lot to do with it. If you get a $199 paint job done by guys with little or no formal training, what do you expect?

Wayfast, it looks good. Just a suggestion- get the lighting in your pics right and it will look even better :D

Yea, but in a lot of your pics it's half in the shade. That really breaks up the picture. If the paint is good, get it out in the sun....

The 4x4 comment is usually referring to excessive gap between your tire and wheel well, not the overall height of the car.
