How some better pics of the stuff actually done. Like is it a bed under there or just a big fiberglass cover where the hatch used to be? And there's a lot left to be desired with wheel fitment. Especially with agressive sideskirts like that you need something that fits a lot better than that.

car looks pretty interesting though... definitely unique. wish they had a designer do the vinyl so it flowed a bit more with the car though.

There is a difference between ignorance and plain foolishness. I have no problem with anyone who doesn't realize what this is, but alot of the comments were indicative of a closed minded people who galavant as enthusiasts. El camino???? Fa reals?

grimm · 05-10-2007, 10:30 AM

well it is an elcamino? it's a nissan elcamino? You did something different and not everyone is going to like it or appreciate it as much as you and you're shop does. To me it looks like a great idea that got the shaft due to financial or time reasons? the graphics are horrible...wheel fitment is horrible...non-pampered engine bay for a show vehicle? just doesn't seem 100%. But granted I wasn't really loving it from the get go. Why not move the engine to the rear since you got all that room?

You are absolutely right. But this was built with a tight budget in mind. The owner actually looked at some really nice wheels in the $2k range but decided he wanted to just get the car done first then changes would be made later. He even plans on a color change. As was said before its not finished. There is an actual bed to the car/truck sprayed with bed liner.

Not saying its the best thing since sliced bread but I've never seen anything like it in the Tristate area yah mean?

Wiisass · 05-10-2007, 10:34 AM

Then they should at least rock some spacers or something. And you don't need expensive wheels to make them fit right.

hozay09 · 05-10-2007, 10:45 AM

wow! That looks sweet! great job

Not sure but there are about 4 or 5 inches worth of spacers in the rear and maybe 3 in. in the front. Whatever wheels that will make this thing flush are going to be a pretty penny.

180sxDrifter · 05-10-2007, 11:13 AM

lookin good.. its just progres sguys like he said. had to get it showable for HIN

Mach1 · 05-10-2007, 11:51 AM

Well, let me be a little more foolish.

1) Pics from camera phones suck
2) Strawberry red and chome sucks
3) Puking chrome stickers all over a car with a lot of custom bodywork sucks
4) Jocking some shop and getting mad when we don't sucks

I am all about custom work, but taste has a lot to do with what I like and don't like. If it was a clean solid color I would probably like it a lot more.

If its wanst nasty looking I would have liked it more. I wouldnt take that car if you gave it to me.

Well ok I would, but just to make a buck reselling it.

Buster · 05-10-2007, 12:06 PM

So thats what happened to that kid with the 240 turned R32's car! Just kidding. I think with would have looked better with any 240 front clip. im not entire fond of R32s. Either way, more baller than my car so i give it a thumbs up!

Well what size are the wheels on there, 18xgay +40 million?

And there's always the option of getting something cheaper that will fit a lot better than those and then spacing them. What's the point of going super wide body if you don't have wheels to make use of all that extra fender room.

And good fitting wheels don't have to cost a lot of money, you just need to know where to look and who to talk to. I mean right now, I have wheels ranging from 10" wide to 12" wide in offsets ranging from +3 to -35 all around me, and they weren't as expensive as you would think, they weren't cheap, but nothing to break the bank.

agree, Imput is great but bashing is just stupid,this forum seems to be geared mostly to noobs,ricers,SRT4,mustangs,evos,subies and they love to hate on anything different. this is why i dont spend much time on here and this is why Ziptied forum has to vote you in.
only reason im still on here is for parts sales.

bring on the flames because i wont be back to check.

PS: i think mustangs and neons are as ugly as HHRs and PT cruisers but i dont go telling the owners.......lol well i guess i just did
