Haha, I know, right? Just yesterday I seen a lime green lifted Impala on 40" (not joking) rims with hydraulics at Chuck E. Cheese or however it's spelled. I wish people with that kind of taste in cars wouldn't mess with the classics.
And that's good that you've made it into a hot rod, do you know how much power it's making? Or at least an estimate? One more question: what exhausts are you using?
