Look at it from an objective point of view, the work that has gone into it, the level of detail, the flow of the car. Dont judge on your basis of style alone imo. Dont diss someones car just because you dont like that style, its mean.
it looks like a riced out civic.

The engine bay was stripped, firewall shaved of a/c, and painted in 3 days on a Tues, Wed, Thursday. The engine was built all during the week. And the following Saturday eveything was reinstalled and working right in 1 whole day. Then it took me a day to detail it, wireloom everything, and put all the chrome on it. So it took a total of about a week. Ohh yea, I had the dealership do all the work. $75 a hour, they ripped me a new one, but I had to have it done in 1 week because of a show coming up, they even put on my BMR K-member and A-arms.

The hinges are off of a old school buick car. Yes, it was a ton of fabrication. The hinges had to be cut in half and fabricated to fit. My fiberglass hood had to be split in half and a piece of metal was put inside for reinforcement. Then 1/2 of the factory hinge was used as a guide. I'm going to try to get the car out in some good light and take pics, so maybe other people can duplicate it.

800x600 is just fine.
Sorry, my 1st time trying to post pics. I wasn't happy with them being all big either. I don't know how to resize them or I would have.

Hate all you want, I've got used to it in the 5 yrs. that I have been building it. Jealous is envy. You hating will never bother me. We could park our cars side by side and nobody would even stop and look at your car. You can't beat it at a show or on the strip, so I can understand why you hate.

Just be careful what you say. I hate seeing drama over ********. And lets not even get into the 'whos got a bigger motor' arguement please, he is a built v6, your a stock v8, who ******* cares.

I have respect for even completely stock cars. I never hate on anybody unless they hate on me 1st. I'm not the least bit cocky until people try to start sh*t. So to do everybody here a favor, I'm just going to delete all the posts that I have made on this site and not post anymore up here. I wasn't here to say my car is better than anybodys. I was here to help other people where I could and show people something different.
