Man woody, that's the look! Can't wait to see it finished.

Here is an "in-progress" pic of mine. Do a search in the project section for "son of g/28" for build up pics and stats.

I posted this in another thread but it seems to apply here too.

Well, I can show my work in progress. Hopefully It will be getting a paint job in the next few months. =)

I think TIGMANs badazz car is that body style but I can not find any pics...

yeah Tigman still won't put up any of it. If you haven't seen the DCG episode I think its a must watch. Heres the only picture I could get.

Ah ok I watch that show from time to time. I was lucky that I watched when the Mule was being driven. So they drove Tigman's car on the show? If so, then yeah, I'd love to see the vid if you get the chance.

Doh! I feel like a dummy. I've seen your build already, lol. I guess the different angle threw me off. Still love the car. Thanks

Paint has had to wait...but it's still the same basic plan. And actually I think by doing paint last it will survive better! haha Here are a couple updated pics...and a new, more accurate photoshop of the plan. Looking at gunmetal vs body color wheels right now.

I think the gunmetal looks a little better with the blue. The car looks good with some tire. Strangely enough, I had a buddy in high school that had a Beretta as his daily, a later second gen Z28 drag car and a Silverado Sport that was his dad's that he drove here and there and eventually inherited.

FWD, RWD & 4WD has been a good combo. I can do anything I need that way.

I like both wheels, gunmetal has always been the plan - but the blue looks a little more sinister to me. And I have a thing for body-color wheels. It would also give me a chance to change the lip from machined alum to brushed alum. It may need the lighter gunmetal to keep the sidewalls from looking too big.

WOW! Love that look! What rear wheels and tires are fitting under that? tubbed? leaf springs? Am getting ready to start working on a 79 and wanted to get 335's under the back.. any help would be greatfully appreciated!

Thanks

Stock wheel wells with leafs in the factory location. Bashed seat belt hump and rolled lips. Only a 295/45/18 and 255/45/18 combo though.
