Cloud81918 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The shoulders look a bit sharp. I think some of that shape is lost. Perhaps it will look right with paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTTY Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) The shoulders look a bit sharp. I think some of that shape is lost. Perhaps it will look right with paint.I see what your saying mang , the pics don't do the fender fabrication justice , in person with the new huge rubber filling the wider fender structure the "classic" widebody lines resurface , the guys involved in this project are very enthusiastic and each very skilled at what they do , we're all going to see something very special at the end of this project , it's even got me interested in sq's again after "being there and done it" , this 86 is something different indeed.

polarisman14 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 That looks amazing guys, that's great work so far. Although you mentioned before once you make certain changes to a car it ceases to be the original--in my opinion that includes swapping the motor. Thoroughly excited to see the finished product still! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneSpeed Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 We had to shelf this thing for a bit....2 years. But she's back on the block and we have some plans for her that will make it a legend if they pan out. I'll know on June 7 if the funding comes through, and if it does, can you say lithium ion?
