    I believe this car is from Starlight Rod and Kustom. Alot of nice stuff coming out of there. Those guys do real clean work and are members of Autoholics. Really dig their cars.

    The quality of the work on this chevy is top notch!!! NOTHING'S been overlooked, the attention to detail is impressive!! I think Starlite customs built this one!!
     
  11. great car. im going for a similar front end treatment with my chevy, the only thing that bugs me is the huge gap between the rear window and decklid.

    Not a fan of the tail lights and the roof chop is a little too much for my taste...it looks like it needs a 2 inch section on the body with that roof chop...I think the tail lights could possibly grow on me though...I do like the molded fenders and such...and the color works just fine for me...not sure about the wheels and lack of stainless trim, breaking up the slab look of the side panels of the car might help proportion the chop better to the body...just my .02...

    I would love to see build pics of this car and see how the rear window was done.

    looks like glass?

    I wonder how many times it took them to get that cut???

    seriously though, I love this car.

    it makes me feel all tingely:)

    and while I am on the subjects of sweet rides

    Ian and rusk,
    you guys have beautiful rides as well:)

    The cat walk?! Hahaha, that's the best part about 2 door cars...........they have a NICE BIG CAT WALK. Unlike the 4 doors with an itty bitty version.

    It's beautiful in person, the Pontiac trim def. makes the car.:D

    I scanned this from Kustoms Illustrated 2005. This looks to be the same car before the blue paint.

  26. Saw this car at Santa Maria last year, I believe they won an award on Sunday. Car is very nice, you have to look for a while to see all the mods that were done. I would'nt kick it out of my garage

    its your car come out and say it..... its fine... starlight does amazing work and the car is awesome, however, Brandon Winters in the person who built this car *period* you may have wanted a diff back window or some stuff changed but if you look at the car from 97 or 2010 the car looks the pretty much the same...
