Thanks! I cant wait to tint the windows, that will really finish off the look i'm going for...but i need other things done first..I need to have the brake rotors turned, then do some more work on the suspension, replace the worn bushings-n-whatnot...then she will be ready for longer trips away from home

Nice video, cool car! I usually don't really dig new rims on old Mopars, but those look great.

Yea, I really wanted to tint my windows but state law allows only 35%, something like that and i couldn't at the time find any that light and gave up the notion, mine is a good color for a light tint like they allow i think but yours would look great considering how you went with the dark and sinister look, I think tinting it would make it even worse, and i mean someone looking at it as a possible menace to fool with! lol.. Good luck and i hope you'll post up some pictures!

I'm kinda oldschoolish on rims also, but my son had these wheels on his 80's camaro, then decided to sell them, cheap! so i snatched them up...being 16" with 60 series tires on really helps the handling...

It's 35% here too :0/...but i'm like you, any tint would only add to the theme

I'll be sure to post up pics when i tint it...

Good stuff! Please do keep us updated. What engine are you running? I think some gloss black RR stripes would look killer too!

 

[RustyRatRod]

Glad you got it goin, but compared to the car's music, Bon Jovi is ghey.

Ive seen the cars painted gloss black and then with satin/flat black stripes that look absolutely killer.. With this shade of black, I agree gloss black stripes do sound sweet! and different.. White stripes would look good to BUT, it would take the "sinister: look out some.... or would it! lol, Trust me im a firm believer that all should do there cars the way they want them, we cant go out and look at the car with a attitude of knowing everyone thinks its cool but me, so im not trying in any way to change your mind, im kind of thinking aloud, Does get me in trouble from time to time, at least hear at home

thanks, it's a wonder the engine still runs as good as it does considering the condition i found it in...I want to keep it small block due to fuel prices lol...I couldn't afford to drive a BB

While it was stored by the previous owner, some ground squirrels decided the engine would be a good storage area for their nuts :grin:

after i cleaned it all up...

 

[RustyRatRod]

Oh cool. It's a little roller motor. I bet it has some kick.

 

[Someotherguy]

it gets up-n-goes pretty good!

 

[Someotherguy]

Got my taco meadur installed :grin:
