American Racing is the brand I had on there but looks exactly the same. I don't know why I can only see that pic, but that's them. lol

It was a Google image and not from a site more than likely

I am liking this look more and more. I can't wait to get caught up on my renderings. I want to do a new one for myself.

working on my dad's car. Got the bumper cut, welded, and tucked in like mine. Looks waaay better I think.

got spoiler ready to paint too. Unlike mine that's just bolted to the trunk he threaded his studs into the back of the spoiler then welded them in. I just ground the welds down and smoothed it out so it will look a little more slick...But I like mine too. lol

I love the look. I would like to make one with a piano hinge so that it is adjustable. Not that it will require it, but it would look cool. I would like to have the adjust able braces going across as well. Make it look real nascar like. I did a freehand drawing looking at your car the other day envisioning what I would do with mine if I went the nascar route. I looked as 70s and modern nascar and came up with a pretty cool drawing. I will try to scan it in if I don't forget.

Yeah I'd love to see it! My dad wanted the adjustable rods for the spoiler too but since we're just doing a "quick" paint job and bunch of other stuff that'll have to be added to phase two, next time his car's in the "shop". lol

Finally got to enjoy a day of cars and cruising together after a month and a half of trying to get his car up to snuff. At least for the time being. Was well worth it. Very Happy
