I see two great cars that have been destroyed. My 2¢.

Re: just a test

Honestly- this is why I would probably kill myself if my car ever showed up on "Pimp my Ride".
Who does that to a car??!?!
Waste of time and money. Why would you make any alteration to your car that didn't improve performance?
That and it looks like shit.

The only reason i see for having a car like that is if the owner has to drive through 4 feet of water every day and needs a car that can get him there safely.
ermm.... nah

Re: just a test

And another thing - pertaining to the yellow one -

If they've spent that much money customizing it, why in the hell could they not have painted the door sills along with the rest of the used-to-be-white car?

Re: just a test

I think they left it white, or painted the sills white to match the yellow and brown roof.

Thats what I think.

Re: just a test

Ugggh.. I can almost appericate the paint jobs. Actually kind of like the green color. But the wheels..... Can't stand that. I want a driveable car. Not a Hot Wheels. And the last car is just a crappy paint job if you don't do the door jambs....

Re: just a test

Mods gone wild.

I read a post on gminsidenews about how big GM cars from the 80s and 90s are getting more popular with young people because they are solid, cheap and easy to mod.

When I was a kid in the 70s you saw all kinds of early 60s lowriders.

Guess at least someone will be providing demand for parts. Maybe in a few years, there will be more restoration parts as people start making the cars original again.

Re: just a test

Get rid of those cartoon rims and put some real ones on - no larger than 17", and that can be a great car.

:P

Re: just a test

I'd never do that to a vehicle. If you have to lift a vehicle to fit rims underneath, then there's something wrong. The only exception would be if you were going off road.

Re: just a test

Anything larger than a 17" looks gay and usually those who use them are making up for lack of size somewhere else.

Classic industries who makes magazines to sell the restoration parts they make.


they made a mag called "Chevy Full size" and it goes from like 1956 to 1996.

Maybe caprice stuff is in there>? i ordered one so ill make a thread if there is caprice parts
