RobRez 1,895 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 This bad boy will beat the crap out of that firebird with the cartoon vomit all over it!! Actually I agree 100%. The guy who built the car for the original owner told me the paint job cost in excess of $7K, House of Kolor etc. I'd have gone in a much different direction, flat black primer and put the money in the engine. But it would have cost me money to plow under the paint job and it did help the value of it when I sold it. Guy that bought it drove 5,000 miles (round trip) to pick it up. Go figger. Funny how some things that seem very "Cool" or "Rad" at the time, fall out of fashion quickly. I know a fella in town who has his truck painted like that PLUS checkerboards AND flames!! Whoa-Nelly! It is really tough to look at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Relax a little, it's a toy at a costume party. It still displays lack of control when you have to finger fuck the trigger when you are not on a target. My kids have been taught not to do that and they don't even do it with their airsoft and paintball stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, for a car that will never be seen on the street the rules are different in that there are none. Some take advantage of that fact to be a gaudy as they want to be. Some are still pretty cool.... Being a "Body in White" car the Firebird never touched the street, never had a VIN. I'd never be caught dead in a PJ like that out in public. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squishy 1,149 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (OK Squishy, let me have it on the tacky paint job) Well at the risk of appearing to suck up and being too easy to get along with I'll say, I like it. In fact (and this is no shit), I've been thinking about doing something similar to my daily driver; The paint looks pretty good in this photo but it was taken about 7 years ago and now it's wearing thin in some areas and the clear coat is even worse on the camper top. So I thought about going with something simpler like a dark gray or dark brown in suede. Out here in the burbs camo tends to make you stand out so I'd stick with a solid color, dark and flat. Sell these wheels and get some black ones of one sort or another. This truck is kind of long in the tooth but I think because of this I've bonded with it as I am too. But I like your paint job.

mancat 2,368 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Here's my pony and my horse. CJ top and sliders look really good on your YJ. I don't care what anyone says about YJs, I've always liked the square headlights/boxy look. TJ owner myself, but there are plenty of times I would like to have a YJ too. I like the exterior and the utilitarian interior. Just don't care for the leaf-sprung ride, even on some of the OME sprung YJs that are supposed to be smooth rides, it's still pretty bad IMO.

Yea,the leaf springs and manual steering leave it rather undesireable for many.I always liked the square headlights also. It's got the 2.5 that I beefed up, and lockers front and rear. When I pull the pins on the stabilizer bar in the front, this baby goes to hell and back. I had her for several years now, literally been through hell, and she never left me stranded. I eventually wanna drop a 4.0 or do an Isuzu diesel swap, put some Chevy axels on her with a beefy trans, and a lift with 36's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MT Predator 2,294 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 He got a steal on the axles. Military surplus one ton axles with disc brakes all around, brand new, wrapped in plastic, on a pallet. The thing is a beast and fast! He beat a SRT4 Neon in a 1/4 mile with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
