Not bad!

I found this Bluebird to be kinda cool. I've never taken notice to this chassis before.

Looks even cooler rally spec'd.

 

[Heldenzeit]

That's pretty neat. Looks like a long wheelbase B13 Sentra.

Speaking of which:

Cragar SS wheels

Pretty sure that second one isn't photoshop but don't quote me on that lol.

It is. The trunk wing is brushed, as well as the air vent behind the front fender flare. The entire "ground effects" package is also brushed, quite badly so I might add, as well as the zip tie in the rear fender flare. The license plate and the hatch latches are copy-pasted there, as well as the wheels. It's not a bad chop job, but it has several noticeable elements.

Rims need to be black or chrome.

Yeah...NO TO CHROME!

Yeah...NO TO CHROME!

What's wrong with a little chrome? (Not gold)

Chrome to me ends up looking quite tacky on a lot of cars, especially with the size of the wheels on that Porsche 918. Plus, the wheel design just doesn't look like it would suit it to me. It would just end up looking stupid.

V8S with Strasse rims.

Give me it now

Chrome almost never works on modern car design.

How about some Minis:

Some Prelude Power

As for the Mini's

AWD B-Series Motor

That white prelude is great. I always loved those years, especially with them having 4 wheel steering. I've always been interested in, but never looked it up.

Never caught on though....

 

[LivingWithGames]

Damn. Now this ain't so bad.

 

[ImaRobot]

I always enjoyed that gen Prelude as well, I wouldnt mind having one to cruise around with.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Car has some nice parts on it. ARC Magic splitter, Spoon brakes, and Volks. Nice work. 👍

Have I posted the 51 Chevy turbo drag truck here yet?

No......

The paint job is pretty questionable, but God did it sound good. There was a sticker on the dash that said it could make a 9 second 1/4.

It won best engine at the show.

Off topic, but where does a custom built car go, as in one of a kind?

Chance paint job and make it so that it doesn't need that hood scoop and it would be really cool. Before that I don't think it's exactly what this thread is for.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Far from tasteful I'd say, but not questionable haha. I'd say "Hot rod, custom etc thread. ^^

Clean R31 from San Diego.

It'd be hard to get it that fast without needing some extra room up under there, but I agree on the paintjob.

I figured it should go here though, as the owner clearly knows how to build drag trucks. There's one with green flames by the same guy.

A subtly rally-prepped S30 Z.. I'd donate organs for one.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I wouldn't...

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

I wouldn't...

Why?

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Frankly I wouldn't donate any organ for a car.
