    For those of you who have ever driven a car with sealed beam headlights you will know they are horrible and also when they are flip ups they are huge and don't flow with the car at all. So anything I could do to the lights would make them better. Insert led's, custom brackets. and cut down headlight motor arms and rods. everything fits perfectly they close flat and open to the proper height. As and added bonus to this the car looks better and my nighttime visibility is so much better. I was worried about them being obnoxious and blinding people but everybody says they aren't bad (long exposure makes them look sort of bad)

    Just a pic of one the 10" wheels for the front next to the 5" pieces for the rear wheels and a shot of how it fits together. Also the wheels will probably weigh as much as the car but I'm pretty sure the offset of the rear wheels will be somewhere in the -80's so it will totally be worth it

    I'm originally from Calhoun County, there is nothing there. haha. but I have been in Huntington for a few years now.

    Small update. I cut and rolled the metal for my rear wheels and I finally got a tank for my mig welder so I can start welding stuff soon. Hopefully there will be something worth posting about in the next few days

    started a topic Supra build

    Supra build

    Hey StanceWorks its been a while. Some of you may remember my last build, the sunfire was pretty low and kind of wide but it needed all new bushings and bearings and after the ecu stopped working and i couldn't find one that would run it right i decided to get something new to build. I bought the Supra for stupid cheap a couple years ago with a rod knocking after I found it on craigslist, it was a solid car with no rust and a lot of potential. I rebuilt the engine with a new crank and bearings, rings, seals and gaskets and whatever else I saw that was needed while it was apart.
    It pretty much looked like this when i got it

    Drove it like that for a while and then dipped it black and got new wheels


    Got more new wheels


    Then I decided the wheels weren't nearly wide enough so started cutting stuff apart and making another set of wheels as normal people do. haha. I got a set of 10" wide ones banded and tacked together and then realized the rear wheels on my Supra can't be the same width as the rear wheels as my last front wheel drive car. So the 10's will be front wheels and why not go ridiculous in the rear, those will be 13" I haven't started on those yet but I have to get the wheels made so I can start on the body work to make them fit under the car there. There will be a lot of metal work to get everything to fit together I will keep this updated as i go. progress will hopefully be sort of fast, I'm feeling motivated to get things done
    8" vs 10" vs stock fender.

    Now that I have a build thread going I will try to remember to take my camera and not use my phone to take pics
Working...
