Title: Recent Pics
Post by: chrome302jr on February 27, 2006, 09:33:18 PM
Took a trip down to Va from here in Northern Ohio, I havent brought my  car or truck up here, the weather sucks and too much salt. So, I recently put on some new front rims, 15x7's rather than the skinnies I had. Once the weather gets better here(if it ever does), I'll bring my car and run at Norwalk which is pretty close. But these should be the last pics before the car is painted/body work done, so I wont have to look at 18yrs old silver paint anymore...

I plan to stay with silver, and to be honest, haveny decided on the trim whether to paint over or not. But Im leaning more towards just leaving the trim black and installing new chrome stripping. Overall the body is straight/rust free, some of the body panels need minor tweaking and realignment though.

Im also replacing the front windshield b/c mine has chips all over, and in the process of looking for rear window weather stripping.

The interior is what will really go under the knife, Ive started planning out the gauge cluster installation, new carpet, seats, and replacement dashcover. The console is what really has me stumped, I want to keep the hammer shifter(I love it), but would like a decent looking center console. I like what another member on here(badbird) has done with a custom console for an after marker shifter, but I wouldnt even know where to go for something like that.

But this past weekend, I took it out to play with some local imports/stangs/camaros and it still doesnt have any problems handing a alum headed/cammed/intake modded 5.0 mustang is ass and some punk in a turbo 240sx thought he was hot shyt, until an 88 Tbird put a beating on him lol.
