    Holy shit. :cool: These are some of the most inspirational A pics I have ever seen.


    Do you have any hi-res versions? (pics 1,3,6 and 7)
    My laptop could use a new wallpaper, and those pics are about as close to porn as I could get away with.

  3. Two well executed hotrods.

    They compliment each other as well.

    Guess I missed the part about it being sold, will the new owner be leaving it the same or want to make it his own, that is the big question.

    Seriously I love this post. I love both the cars and I love both the different little subtle things.

    And I have an idea.

    i think ryan said it best. both are perfect in their own personalities. impossible to pick a favorite. wouldn't change either one. would love to own either one.

    That is one of the differences. The most noticable difference between the 28-29 and the 30-31 are the windshield 'pillars'. The 28-29 pillars go all the way down to the bottom of the body while the 30-31 stop at the top of the cowl.

    The '30 is original in this area, I'm not sure about the '29. Anyone?

    is the grenades frame pinched or is the cowl pie cut or.... the headers are covering it up in the side shot. bass's car has a pie cut cowl, correct?
     
  17. Great pic's, fab post....

    I absolutely love the look & feel of both...

    But in my humble opinion, there's just "something" about the Green Grenade that makes it a little more.... :eek:

    I can't even put it in words... :confused:

    But if I absolutely had to choose between them, it would be the Grenade...And I don't know why!! :rolleyes:

    Didnt you get your coupe with a section and you just undid that work loudpedal? I feel like I've seen it referred to as anti-sectioning, or the likes. And I believe a may have read that you did this with your because you didnt like the sectioned look.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt that why these guys are saying you altered the body?
     
  20. Race?


    Thats just what I was thinking....whos is faster?

    Very interesting thread. GREAT way to see the difference between a couple of ways to do a build.
