Inspiration

The Stickman · August 26th, 2009, 08:45 PM

Well I am on many other sites. One of them being BeachCity Wagon Masters. http://beachcitywagonmasters.com/whatsup/index.php And one of the posters there decided to give me a little inspiration for My wife's car. His name is DViestra and he deserves all the credit. It is exactly the stance and attitude I have wanted for her car and this just put the idea out there for all to see. Now we just need to find the right set of wheels and then I can work on the suspension.

Looks awesome.

The car looks like it's moving when it's sitting still with that roofline and stance.

Ever consider removing the bumper and panning the rear bumper area? I like the look on the 90's Roadmaster Estates and S-10's myself, have to be real careful without a bumper though.

I think he chopped the front A pillar about three inches, that might be difficult to do. That graphics job is really good with a single scallop or "arrow" notched out with those circles like that, very different. Was that your idea and are you going to use it?

Question #1, Is that wagon tubbed?

Question#2. Would your wife drive that?

OK
BlueVista-- the rear is already kinda panned. Here it is right after we first got it.

OldsGuy----Not that hard to do. We did buy it this way but because there is no interior you can see exactly how they did it. The Guy only photoshopped the wheels tires and graphics. Here is how the car really looks.

Homestar. No it is not tubbed at the present time. It may end up being tubbed if we need to for bigger wheels and tires. It's a good thing the wife is a welder when it comes to things like this. I am betting we will be making new inner fenderwells for the front. And yes she does drive it. We had it out to a cruise night last night.

Stickman: Think I can make out PA plates on the wagon. Absolutely awesome, and everytime your name pops up on this site, I immediately go to see what y'all are up to now! I like the primer! So sorry we didn't get to see you, your wife,and that car at Seven Springs last month. Would be interesting to see the inside(w/no interior) to see how the top was chopped. And, bless her heart, your wife can weld! I turned Big Red over to Juju, told her it's hers,and she is spending money on it for the Car Corral at the State Fair of Texas and our upcoming Zone Show. You KNOW what that means.............I AIN'T spending it! LOL!
