Raise the front back up and you would have a gasser!  Looks good Carm, inspiration to the rest of us to get out and try and paint our own cars.

think ill like them more body color..... Polished lip though? just a thought

No, I don't think I'll go with a polished lip. If the rims were gonna be black or some other dark colour maybe, but not white - besides, snowflakes don't really lend themselves to a polished lip like the ten-holes would.

Nice paint and nice new fog lights where you get them. Every one see a high rear but I see potential for bigger tires:hick:  . Looking good all around:burnout:

The fog lights are cheap "Blazer" driving lights ($30/pair at Canadian Tire). I modified the factory TC brackets to mount 'em. The modification was a simple 5/16" hole on the bottom plate - these lights mount from the bottom while factory TC lights mount from behind. Since the car isn't a Turbo Coupe (sure looks like one though, doesn't it? ;) ) originality isn't an issue.

I'd have to install a solid front axle and move the front wheels ahead for a REAL gasser. Would be different though (I remember somebody made a thread about it awhile ago)
