That's a nice photoseriesof your car, bud. Got a photog-friend?

Also, the Cadillac of Jimmy Vaughan has a 540+ cubic inch Cadillac big block with a Latham blower breathing trough an Inglese sidedraft manifold, it also has white line slicks in the rear. That damned thing is cool.

Nice Le Sabre. Not sure about the Elvis Tribute logo thing though. Heres a picture of my mates 1959 Le Sabre. It was raining when i took the picture & Its not in the Best condition. Rear suspensions pretty much collapsed. Its a bit of an oddball. It has the Electra trim and we think when it was new it had the factory airbag option. The tanks are still there although now it has a more conventional rear end. Unfortunately parts aren't easy to find so we're gonna customize the rear suspension.

Heres a few more Rods etc from a car show earlier this year.

Looks a bit like Wheels Day but there's some background I'm not familiar with. Where was that?

So this is like the American car thread? In that case, I own a '78 Plymouth Horizon. (It's true, & there's not too many first model years around anymore). I'll get pics when it's not cold, snowy or cloudy outside.

I really want a Fuselage Chrysler though, New yorker, or something. Those are my dream cars.

pre-spring cut.

Thanks for the positive comments, guys. 👍

You can see the anti-roll bar, tie rods, and a strut rod under the nose.

 

[Cano]

speaking of which, howzit drive, dude? I know it's a street suspension, but it should feel light years ahead of stock. What else you got under there?

EDIT: Awesomeness, click on the pics for BIG:

love the van, thrush pipes instant coolness

 

[RedTransAm]

That van looks like a Hot Wheels car. I like it!

that was pretty much the idea. The car was inspired by HW's Super Van in black & flames livery, like this one:

The Torq -Thrusts even have the HW logo on the centercaps.

Everything on this page wins.

It does, but can I make a general request?

Those images by Croma Turbo are taking ages to load, and my internet connection isn't that bad. If people are posting images bigger than about 1000px on the longest side could they thumbnail instead please? I know this forum resizes images to fit them on the page but it doesn't take the sting out of massive image files... and when you've got a bunch at 3-4mb plus others on the page it does make scrolling a pain in the ass.

I don't have the same issue in the imports thread as people stopped posting enormous pics in there. If there's a bigger version of an image, we can ask for it.

 

[Cano]

Well, in my case, when I post something here I almost always find it when I'm looking for other pictures for work (read: chopping cars), and since I use very very big images, I also tendo to look for big stuff, and the random pics I stumble upon in those searches are freaking big too.

Fer instance:

This is amazing:

This is fantastic!

Great example of a single-seater lakes modified:

look at that!

The thing is dead-serious too:

sorry, heh

 

[Antonisbob]

Good pics, but oh lord, The Lag.

Please do. The 1969-1970 Boss model is my favorite Mustang.

 

[Cano]

Just found this, too. This freaking thing is unbelievable. The 33 body-handmade 1935-ish nose-wheels-color combination is a total knockout. Amazing car.
