Thanks! The color is kind of weird, Flouresant lights make it look dark, sunlight very sparkly, guess it's the metalic in it.

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Nice!

I like the color and think all the rice fits a teenage boy very well. I am sure your son is loving it and yea, the lil' ladies will too.

Sweet ride Dad!

Honestly? It's an Eclipse, for a teenage guy. It fits perfectly.

Still ricey, though

Oem lip kit, some suspension, and some low offset wheels would make that eclipse look amazing.

If this is gonna be a show car, OP should know what's in and whats out in the import world.

You can have your opinion but until you can show that you can do better or have something better then ....

This is a father son project with a lot of hard work and hours put into a project that will last a lifetime. We all could only wish we could have an oppurtunity like this!

Yes, We are open to all opinions- Negative or positive- I'm sure we will get plenty once the car is on the road.

I did say you forgot the ricey fuel.

OEM lip kit =

Suspension= Adjustable coilovers/4 way dampining, camber kits front and rear, about 2' drop w/alignment done with compensation for all weight being added.

Wheels=Konig 18x8.5 w/.40 offset

Might take to a car show, but show car Just a fun project for myself and my son to enjoy. Over the years, a few being behind me, I have seen a lot of things come and go. Some good some bad. Depends on what a certain person likes. As far as a show if we were to loose because we don't have fuzzy dice, well so be it!

Thanks

Btw, who cares what kind of project it is.. am i not entitled to have an opinion on the car? I think he went the wrong direction with it..

Everyone is gonna have an opinion..it's no different than folks who get bashed for using kicker and other mainstream brands.

On a brighter note, OP gets props for doing this with his son

wish my dad was into cars like that

[PHATBOi 38]

Awsome project. I was on the other side of the coin, my father built a 23' Ford T-Bucket from the ground up, welded the frame together and all. I was to busy partying and recouping to give him a hand. I regret it everyday now. I look forward to giving my son my Protege when he is 16 and doing a build with him.

On a lighter note, you guys anywhere near Tampa, I would love to see this in person? Keep up the great work.

Well, you can sit back and eat some rice until it's done, cause you haven't seen or heard the half of it.

"BTW" : Your ride's the one that looks like someone went the wrong way with it. I'll admit it looks clean, but that's cause it's practically factory. You've got some basic ground effects and some G-rims that look like they belong on an Escalade.

Man, go all the way or go home.

[cedartowndawg 3]

I've got family down in Pensacola, I might have to use going to see them as an excuse to hear this thing once it's finished.

Wouldn't mind that at all, once this thing is done I can't say my son will ever be home. PM me if you ever head this way I'll try disabling his car so it will be here. Projected finish date is some time in Sept. Thanks for checking out our build!

I'll definitely let you know if I head down.

That's a good finish date for when you started, I don't think I could ever do something that big, then again, I might have to when I do my truck.

Good luck on the completion

Motor is complete and running, just havn't driven but around the block to make sure trans shifted out...the basics. Check page 1 on this thread for pics of engine. Painting should be complete in a few weeks if weather holds good and try to get all the addons and sound system after that. Hopefully completed by end of August beginning of Sept. Thanks for the Words.

[aimone 4]

oh ok i must have missed that lol i've been watchin this build pretty much since the beginning

[sefugi 166]

Time for a little update. Since we are painting the Hood, roof and hatch black we had to tape off all the blue. Time consuming! Black has been sprayed including the door jams and hatch jams. Not crazy about the results, but it's black.

Untaped everything and this is were we are at as of now. We are leaning towards wet sanding the blue to reshoot and the black will be wet sanded to clearcoat.
