The car that inspired me:


haven't had time to get the lowering kit installed yet and i'm copping those wheels soon. my corvette wheels will be up for sale soon.

Yeah that is why I recommend taking off as much of that bondo as you can and replacing it with Rage Gold. It is so much easier to work with and is of much higher quality. However it is very expensive so I understand it you didn't want to go that route. It is nearly twice as expensive as bondo.

Next time I want to play with bondo I'll check out Rage Gold, I just don't want to right now. And the chrome bumper I found on Craiglist is to good to pass up on.

I just sent a money order to a guy for a 3" lowering kit, it'll get me started.

I'm not going to lie, I ***** your build and thought it was just full of fail. But after your last post it seems to be heading in a better direction. I'm glad you ditched the pink and started to clean it up. But now don't stall and cut the springs, ull be 10 times happier and so will we!

I know my build started out crappy but honestly I don't regret anything I did... okay, I regreted those pink window cranks, that was pretty awful.

It looks like that because I was never able to sand it completely smooth. I got my eyes on a mint condition chrome bumper, just gonna cop that instead of doing all that hard work because let's face it: I suck at bondo. //shrugs// I also might get a new hood, fenders, and doors to fix the crappy bondo job I've done on those.

So in this picture it looks like the bondo on your front bumper is already starting to expand and bubble. Is that just the photo or is that actually happening?

If it is can I suggest that you go around to every spot that you have filled with bondo and scrape all of it out, knock the dents out, and then replace the bondo with Rage Gold. Rage Gold is a bit more expensive but a lot higher quality and easier to work with. Like easy as in you can sand it by hand.

3" lowering kit should be in the mail in a few days... it's a start.




- got rid of the pink grill
- stripped corvette wheels
- completed front bumper
- painted bedliner
- tinted turn signals and taillights

Also did some photoshopping...




The build is coming along a little slower then I had hoped but I'm making progress.

$200 for corvette wheels?!?!?! JEALOUS. they want upwards of $1000 for them over here in New Zealand

[Titty]

[mitchbrock1]

cuts arnt that bad, just cut half.

[CraigSnedeker]

When I read "no budget", I was thinking of something along the lines of "I have money to burn so I'm gonna drop a Lambo V12 into this truck for shits n giggles" kind of budget.

i should tho
