i can't move yet. i got no job. jobs are really tough to get. college grad with a degree and no jobs :(

this is why i can't finish my motor. everytime i get some money put away, this crap happens. it doesn't help i got a hard color to find in the junkyards. if only it didn't leave 2 creases at the top and bottom i could pull it out.

ughhh

This was before the condition I have it now. This was about 3 years ago, yes I know the thread is now, but I didn't want to put this in my build and have people think its done

The wheels, we had a flat on the rear wheel set, so my dad took the front wheel set off of one of our lincoln limo's and now when he sold the limo's he kept all of them on the car, but I think the design is ugly, so I'm going to pick up some lincoln center caps for them and sell them. I prefer something smaller like the rears but idn if I like that exact style or not.

If you want to see how it is currently, check out my build. Until a new floor is welded in, the car is a sitting duck. Plus I need a new shifter because the old one rusted out with the rest of the interior, and broke.

No excuse! My 73 Grand Am had the entire passenger floor board missing for a few months and I still drove the shit out of it. Just had to tell any passengers there was no floor on that side ;)

I don't mind the wheels, but I would definitely say that you should go for something a little more "classic" looking lol. I dunno what that entails really but I kind of have a mental image. And that car looks HUGE lol

They just don't fit the car right, for now, it is what it is. If anyone has some suggestions, since I have never really seen the car with stock or oldschool wheels, throw them in my build page or something and I'll check them out. Suggestions are always good.

No, I agree with Ray on this one. They are too big and just have the wrong look for the car, but it was an easy replacement to throw steelies on our limo when we sold it lol

Galante, I've hated the way the liberal grille looked on every single car I've seen it on until this most recent picture of yours. Your car looks amazing!

nice stance!!! I liked the vogue lip, but to get my front to sit flush, the lip would be an inch off the ground.
