No offense to the OP, but this is exactly how I feel. But can't wait to see some more updates, keep them coming.
I get your point, you like the Nu-Wave Ratty track look, but the trendy stickers and Prince Albert loop hanging off the bumper is not that look. I know its your car, and you can do what ya like, I'm just hoping peer pressure leads you to sorta clean it up a bit, I really want to like your SS, but its just small details that are keeping me from it.
i feel ya man, it'll get there. i'm gonna do a lil less camber and some serious fender pulling out back. like mike borroughs status. then i'll be forced to re paint the car. the tow hook fell off somewhere. sucks.
I just read through this whole build. Some stuff is wtf are you doing, other stuff is pretty cool. The youtube vid was nice, even on stock wheels it looked good rolling and sounded kinda cool. My only complaint is that it's not clean. I know that's the look you want, but it could be heaps better by taking off half the dangly bits and stickers. I like the work you've put into it though, keep posting so I can continue to enjoy what you're doing.
Edit: A car can have character without looking like shit. Not that yours does, but I'm just saying.

still dealing with it. i just don't get on it from certain rpm's and they shake a little but not horribly. i have plans to raise the entire engine and trans/diff with spacers and a bracket for the front tranny mount for the engine and trans mounts. i'm pretty sure i can get it to work out.
hey man, got a quick question, what did u do to stop the axle binding? mine is binding and i only ditched the wheel gap. I want to spin them all the way down in spring thou
i feel you man, it's still a build in the process. i would much rather have a clean car to work with but my wallet doesn't have room for a whole new front bumper, fenders and lip. they've just been through so much rolling, rubbing and scraping that they're just shot and i'm trying to use it to the car's advantage. i like the race car, beat up from the track look. i have some better ideas in my head, just a matter of deciding on what to do. nothing i've done to this car has really cost me more than 200 dollars at once so my budget also decides what happens here.
