got a small update

made me a radiator mounts... funny thing is this wasnt meant to look like a v8 symbol in the begining but i think it turned out pretty cool..i mounted it with some pretty thick rubber spacers to help dampen it a lil

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

One of the best build threads I have seen...and the first one I have read from start to finish! I love your work. Can't wait to see you pull it out and take a picture from the side.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

ho dam homie...........hot truck.......... mad skills.........wanna really complement your photography skills......(wut you using to make thoes shots?) i do too come from a honda background and they do not suk but theres a reason why you and i ended up here jaja

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

The problem for me isn't the Hondas (or any import/tuner car), it's usually the drivers. At least around here it is.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

It is true that you cannot fix stupid drivers, but pushing one of them off the road once in a while is sure fun....
....almost theraputic for all involved too.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Thanx for the compliments guys. As far as the imports goes i got tired of them because it always seemed like a contest of who could bolt on the most overpriced rare jdm parts on their car so they could brag about it instead of doing some real fab work. Also after u put 10 grand in a civic u can only sell it for 3500 if ur lucky. Dont get me wrong. I miss my 13 second honda that got 32 mpg but i think my truck is gonna be alot more fun

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Clean! You don't see that style Civic around here anymore and if you do they are completely beat down and rotten :lol:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I'm a chevy truck guy through and through, but my favorite movies I think are still fast and furious (guilty little pleasure). I think the imports can be pretty badass, but Coulter you nailed it, there is something about fab vs bolt-on that just appeals to me more. That, and a 1961 chev is what it is and expectations are already set. A 2003 anything is still a trend or fad. What I may like on it today, may strike me as ugly next year. my opinion at least.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

sweet build, if you haven't redone your door panels yet, use some contact cement, you can get it from a tim supply shop or its the same thing from Home Depot, the product used to install formica, for counter tops, yellow in color. you can spray it through your primer gun.. You might want to scap the old material, if you used a spray can adhesive. Hope that helps. Truck looks super nice.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

sweet man thanx for the info!! ill give that a shot
