Maybe this is the trend I need to be following. I love the chassis jobs that I have been seeing lately.

Updated pics of the car and my assistant. . Gonna have to do something about the front wheel so it doesnt rip the fenders off the car. Still LOTS of work left. I like how it sits, hopefully I can keep it that way.

Looks VERY nice. I kinda like the flat black now. But then you had to go out and get bigger tires than me .

I know, I figured, since I HAD to stretch the fenders, might as well go big time.

I have a 1973 RX-3 station wagon to restore. I'm the original owner and just found someone to help get this sleeper back on the road! 3rd engine, has compression, not started for 16 years, body real solid, one hole in floor pan, worst rust is around windshield, will need some parts rechromed, shocks in rear, new carpet, and redo seats. Frame has 250k miles, engine overheated according to the heat sensor shut-down ( crack in thermal rector ) Winemaker -- Michigan

My street turbo. I bought the smaller one so it would spool up real fast. Street manners are really important to me.

Nah, he is very well behaved. His slober gets over the top (right after he eats), and he farts a lot.
