I thought i would post this life long achievement. My car was in muscle mustangs and fast fords november 2014. Greatest day ever...dont tell the wife.lol some before pictures, the stock red one is not mine but was identical to it
So like the title says I had picked up a few shirts at burlington coat Factory for like $2 they are actually the thickest t-shirts I've ever seen. I went to the local embroidery shop and $30 later I had 2 of these. Car show shirts. Lol
So I was asked by a family friend to paint his 71' volvo gun metal blue(like Dallas Cowboys away pant colors) the car is pretty straight needs a new rear panel replaced, new lower quarters, and a little core support work. The body needs to be stripped, primed, painted.... What I'm wondering is what # should I throw at him, without giving him a heart attack. He got a quote of 10,000 and he was blown away so I need to be quite a bit lower with still making decent money. It's been a long time since I've been in the business (10yrs lol) So what do u guys think? Also the car is stripped no windows, engine, interior and all trim
We have been putting off getting rid of our cavalier but with 3 kids it had to be done. It's my first non American car hope it's not a total disappointment, so far very cheap feeling rock hard seats, components ok I guess, and potato chip doors(use to heavy Chevy doors). Totally went out of my comfort zone on this one but hey its a honda what could go wrong? Lol
So got about 300miles out of those shiznitty bfg drag radials, no burnouts either. So bought the maxxis marauder tires, which are awesome. I've had them on the car since November(1000 miles) and they still look new, they are hard as but at the cost of tires these do the job of keeping my wife off my back. Lol do have rubbing issues but they look cool
I didnt do so good on the racing because I was using street tires, but I still had fun, first run left very soft ran 12.3, second run left harder spun a lot 12.5,third spun again 12.6. next year I'm definitely getting drag radials.lol I thought mycar would be faster with all the stickers they gave me to put on
I was wondering if anyone had pictures of a canyon red 1986 bird with the 14" wire wheel hubcaps, I don't have any and would like to add it to my album to show what it came from. thanks guys
