Pimpin' our ride :D (some new pics)

For those of you who don't know (or if ya care :P ) my husband, Alex, has been working on his Roadmaster project car pretty much since he got it 2 years ago. Just like his Neon, before it was FINALLY finished it ran around with 8 different colors of primer etc. Well the Roadmonster, as we lovingly call it, has been running around with a few shades on bling as well :lol:

So this past weekend Alex decided it was time to add some more primer:

When we brought it home:

Well we've crossed another bridge with this car. Hopefully sooner than later the rear end will be bagged. He ordered a Dakota Digital gauge for the air pressure. He also custom installed a console from a Buick Riviera and will fabricate something for the gauges in that. More updates later on :)

Enjoy!

That actually is pretty good looking.

^ only if you're into ghetto cruisers

AHHHH I can't believe you did that!!!!

I'm surprised the Buick Gods haven't unleashed their wrath upon you yet...

The only thing that I don't like are the drug dealer wheels (you know the think chrome ones). I don't have a problem with some nice aluminum thin wheels, but I don't like those

SWEET!

Needs the doorhandles shaved though.

That is exactly what I would do if I had that car! GREAT WORK!

Ha yea that's pretty pimp, looks a lot nicer than the caddies and caprices you always see like that.

I like it, i dont usually like cars with rims like that, but i have to say it looks sharp.

Love the rims, not feeling the car though. I'd rather see more work done to classis and make them PIMP. But to each their own, have fun

DAMN! That looks nice! That shits sitting low, and i like those rims. What size are they an how much did you pay for'em?

very nice..

hmmmm...... Nice, though I would have chosen a mid-90's Impala SS for the project myself.

well from waht it was i think its looks pretty sweet, i like it, even if it is american!

Very nice indeed! What do you guys have in mind for the final paint job?

Looking pretty snazzy.

The rims are ill, but the paint job is whats throwing me. It should be a really dark navy blue...Craaazy!!

I'm still amazed out how sweet the car is gonna look when its done. I can't wait to see pics of the rear bag setup!

Happy cutting and welding. :smile:

I love it. I'm not into American sedans anymore, but I still enjoy looking at them. Great job. What color can we expect when it's done.

fISH...

but the paint job is whats throwing me. It should be a really dark navy blue...Craaazy!!
What the fuck are you talking about? Thats not paint on the car.

O sorry bout that. Early mornings a mutha. But whats the point of the thread then? If its not done?

Thanks for the compliments :D The point of the pics is just to show where we are at in our progress. It's been a project 2 years in the works, and probably be ongoing for a long time.....mortgages and living expenses tend to put a damper on the free-flowing cash ya know :lol:

As for the final color, Alex is not sure. He goes back n forth between 1 color, 2 tone with a small graphic pin stripe to separate the colors etc. Whatever color he decides will determine if the handles come off. I think the handles need to be there to break up the monotony if he goes with a single color. But that's the beauty of photoshop....we can play with many different ideas :)

When I had my Neon I always photoshopped wheels onto it before I bought anything. I still miss that little beast, but I don't miss all the weekends planned around it breaking :lol2:

I know nothing about bags, but is there any way to raise and lower them while keeping a 0º camber?

AHHHH I can't believe you did that!!!!

Not that I know of. When Alex gets the car aligned, he has to set his car at the ride height he wants (he's has a gauge that tells him where the pressure is at) and get it aligned at that height. He went without gauges for awhile and ended up chewing up a set of tires. Dropping the car that low is strictly for fun/showing off, (and occasionally dragging on someone for ownage :lol2: ) and he does raise the car up more than ride height if there is a nasty bump or angeled driveway to deal with.

J swigz- it was the initial shock that got to me, I apologize for that outburst :lol: :lol:

It looks better than some lowriders, and with the LT1, it ought to eat lots of rice.

Looks really cool, Paint it gold and green for the ultimate in pimp.

Looks sharp.

hmm... I wonder if it would be possible to create an active suspension that aligns itself according to ride height? $$$

Well, your Husband looks like he could kick my ass; so I will say, "I like it" :)
Nice.

Damn nice...love those rims and agree bout the door handles being shaved, at least I think but then it might be too much smooth surface.
