Got Volvo?

[Poopy]

What do ya think of this color combo...satin metallic green with bronze wheels:

[Conrad283]

I think it's dope no matter what color

[Bjkadron]

Actually, if It was my build I would do something that looked classy. Just so it would be that much more absurd. I'm not a big fan of that green, though I like the bronze wheel idea.

I think the dark green and what looks like satin black (but is supposed to bronze) looks sharp! Would still look very classy once bodywork and painted. Click link below for similar painted Volvo wagon.

That is the green I was thinking, But I will warn you, you very well may go nuts looking for the perfect shade. There are Billions to choose from!

Ya i found a green paint thread on the HAMB....there is a bajillion greens....maybe I should do black. lol

[Poopy]

So trying to find coilovers is a nightmare...there are really too many brands, I see penske and ohlins make a fitment for the lexus / supra chassis....any good dealers on here?

It´s not AMAZING... It´s AMAZONING.

I wouldn't do black on a car like this. If you think you like all the welding, just wait until the block sanding part! A lighter color will hide any imperfections much better. As for colors, your best bet is to find a couple shades you like, then go to a paint supply house and compare the chips to see how they look in the sun.

check KW,JIC,HKS,most will set you back about $3k

this is going to be one cool Volvo

[Poopy]

Hey what are you running in your supra for suspension??

[Poopy]

I dug out some Afco coilovers I had sitting around, I think I will just ditch the factory mounts and make custom mounts that fit any coilovers. Put the afco's in for now and get better ones later.

I need opinions on this, basically I built a wire frame that will be covered with sheet metal, and im hoping it will look something like the front fender on this porsche. Do you think the shape works well?? I'm basically trying to make it as flush as I can, and still allowing 1.5" of unobstructed uptravel.

[Zanie]

I think it's a cool mix; with the bulged body panel and the flare. Trying to cover the tire with either a really wide body bulge or a really big flare might be too much in your face.
A big flare alone coming off that flat side might look too abrubt.
Keep up the excellent work!

[Poopy]

Ya that was my theory, a little of each so it doesn't look too silly. thanks!

[Bjkadron]

Well the edge looks good, but I think it would look better if you made it a bit smoother slope. as in making it go a little farther.

[Poopy]

like a bit further up the 1/4??

[Mr. Anderson]

Wrap a bunch of masking tape around your wire frame to get a better idea of how it will look.
