Funny how much you loved it then isn't it?

I was thinking, I have really been wanting to see some pictures of you truck, you know the way it used to be. You know First the stock grey with purple outline flames. Then the stopsign red with sparkle white and yellow flames. Maybe we could compare crappy jobs

You're right... give them to me.

(for the record I f-ing love high offest mesh wheels and wish i could find some 17" three piece old school type mesh wheels with a decent offset although my fenders would probably hate me more)

Nope, with the offset I'm talking about we should have already gotten into the negative ETs.

But I was thinking about it and those wheels would only look good on a basically stock six that was slammed to the ground and a lil' beat looking. When I see them I think "It's business time"

i agree on the buisness time look. i think it will look good with some nice fat g-forces tires and tucking a little bit. im just sick of the "ricer" wheel look. and these are the real 3 piece wheels so im pretty stoked

i dont like any of the fenders i see online soooo.... ima make a mold and build a set. if it turns out ok i would like to make a few extra sets to sell for cheeper than the universal ones to cover the costs of the mold and such.

thingsthatfly2 · 10-6-08, 12:05

haha yea ikr...

haha i drive like 55 everwhere i go. since im not ready yet to put the manual in it ima just detail out the engine now and do my klze intake swap polish a bunch of stuff out and make some modestly pannels to get it lookin nice.

edit: hey where is a cheap/decent place to get a battery relocating kit to move it to the trunk?

**Stealth** · 10-6-08, 14:28

All you need is cable from the local stereo shop, a couple of crimp ends (they will have those 2) and some battery terminal clamps (they will have those also)

Get a battery box if you want, my optima came with a strap I just bolted it to the strut tower and sinched it down.
