Alright everybody, it does look very Asian, but who cares? Is it your car? NO. Just because you don't think it looks good doesn't mean you have to rain on their parade. I am not trying to be rude, but show some respect.

I've put $70 in looks so far, and that's about all that i am going to do (stickers, cans of paint, scrap metal). As far as time spent - you should be able to tell from the looks of it ( 1 1/2 afternoons). For lights - i am mounting some fog lights on it (it is 95% a track car), i gutted the brackets and headlight motor - just welded on the covers.
My main goal in the looks department - catching others by surprise when i spank them!
and having a little fun ( i have other cars for daily drivers www.z28evans.com and you can see some of them and other projects)
A year from now it will probably get old, then i will put the drivetrain and other good parts in one of my other cars, or find a nice FB and make a sharp daily driver.

As for the boinger... that's nothing compared to the abomination that it looks like!! It's a complete rx abomination just because of the boinger...

HAHAHA none of that is nearly as bad as what my friend did to his plymouth acclaim.
The first mod he did was he made a wing out of plywood. Just plain plywood. He held it on the car with hard drive magnets and rope.
Then he used colored duct tape and made a crooked racing stripe on both sides.
The he put a coffee can over his exaust.
Then he put tin foil over his hub caps!!!!!
Then heres the kicker. SOMEONE JACKED HIS PLYWOOD WING!!!

Wow, I don't know where you'd get the energy to do all that. I really have nothing good to say about the car but if you can get the GM brakes in the car it'd be an achievement. Good job on the paint work.
But don't get me wrong I don't like the car, but if it's being built to spank non suspecting people than it's alright in my books!

He walked away from it with one scratch on his arm. He's so lucky its not even funny. We all had some really great plans for that car too... Like drawing flames on the side of the car with a magic marker.
We were even going to put it in the High School Drags at Seattle International Raceway at the end of the year. If i find a pic of it i'll post it.
