Re: project "DIRTY BURB"
 

hey, i just noticed your from the nethherlands....NICE...i've been to amsterdam...LOVED IT anyway, my paint job? what paint job? hahahahaa

Re: project "DIRTY BURB"
 

Clear paint?:lol:

Everyone who visits the Netherlands is heading to Amsterdam. They always go to see a windmill and than getting fast to the coffee-shops and the red light-district:metal:. I've been there many times but not my favorite place to live. To busy. I like the wide fields and little villages. There I can drive many more miles in less time:burnout:.

Re: project "DIRTY BURB"

Re: project "DIRTY BURB"
 

I always wondered about doing speakers like that too, looks like it works well! bumper looks sharp too. I'm trying to remember if it was a magazine build or what that they worked on a bumper and left it wider but rolled it back around with the lines and all and met it to the body, if that makes since, instead or leaving the edges straight...

Re: project "DIRTY BURB"
 

AL AND EDS STEREO here in san diego i think they were 3 1/2" speakers shave down to fit i thought about cutting the ac chrome balls in half and put them back in over the speakers...but like them this way too...thx for the complements ALL
