Grandpa

Hood Starter Kit

Totally Hood

Ay Papi

 

IMO if he put a modern set of wheels on it, it'd totally pull it out of the hood category

 

That is some Gangsta Grandpa ride.... even when completely stock with hubcaps and all.

 

I'm 100% fine with the hood category, exactly what i'm going for, lol

 

^ dont tell me you are planning to get some candy paint for it

 

I'm not busting... I would just feel goofy. Like a white boy walking around the mall in FUBU.

 

It is BUFU...

 

Legit what I had been looking for was a car to do full hydraulics and candy paint. But this car was just too clean to pass up. And it's too clean to cut up.

 

I grew up in LA surrounded by these cars. That statements like saying I shouldn't have ever had a modded Honda because I wasn't Asian with a shaved head and long bangs


Ain't that sound familiar ooono....

 

Yah, It is clean. I say keep it the way it is for a while.

 

How many more times are you gonna use that on me?

 

I had the same haircut at one point in time...

 

Ohhh but i miss those times tho.... didn't have to worry about anything but how to rice out my car.

 

cultural appropriation

 

Dude... so sick. You've always surprised me with your car purchases!

 

Everyone's been telling me I'm crazy for this one. But I like variety. I'm still super jealous of your 993


Look what I'm driving this week 😂

 

Park that in your garage next to the Impala.... that is gonna be some deep thoughts moment.

 

so, have dumped some money into the car.

- All new shocks all around. Did QA1 single adjustables
- 108 amp alternator (thing was spiking all over the place with all the accessories)
- Basically rebuilt rear end
- Axle Seals were all leaking
- Wheel Cylnders were all leaking
- New Diff Seals
- U-joint / Carrier bearing drive shaft


Car drives so much smooother now

 

Loaner car while the other one gets serviced or did you trade it in?

 

My dads, was in LA on business and needed to borrow a car, he insisted I take this one.


i can't afford that shit 😂

 

Still pinch myself 😂

 

Yeah man that is one hell of a garage for sure. I love how it doesn't focus one particular area too much. You have two older rides but hey are so different from each other.

 

yea, only really consistency is two chevy's and no fords

 

Commissioned to have these made a few months back. Finally came in.

Sweet ride!

 

 

Still loving this thing. May be my favorite currently. Driving the piss out of it. Probably put close to 1,000 miles on it in the last 30 days. Took off the horrible bias ply tires on the wires. Now have learned wire wheels need tubes so I've got it back on stock wheels till I get around to throwing tubes in the tires.

 

I need to drop an overdrive trans in this thing. With the tire size and the 2 speed powerglide, i turn like 3500 RPM at 65 mph, i have no clue what redline is on these things, but it's SCREAMING at freeway speed. Trying to decide what to do, i think i'll drop a 700R4 in it, only needs a little modification to fit......but then the big question is.....do I say fuck it and drop in a new motor........and then really say fuck it and drop in an LS.....

 

I mean you came here to ask a question that I feel you already know what everyone is going to say. I vote for bigger motor for sure. The biggest question is do you do a bigger period correct motor or go something crazy modern and maybe put in a supercharged engine from say like a CTSV/ZL1?

 

lol, the LS blown motors are $$$....and would be pointless cause i'd legit never get traction. I'd probably do a crate 383.....or maybe an LS1 or the 6.0L truck motor.

 

350/700r4 would be a good combination for a boulevard cruiser.

 

Your not thinking outside the box enough. You need to do full tubs in the rear for some larger rears so traction won't be an issue

 

My vote is ... figure out an overdrive solution and keep motor as-is.

Put $ into the 996 since that's the machine that does speed best.

 

there's not much left to do to it really. Things putting down over 700/700 on pump. I do need to pull the transmission out of the 996 and have it rebuilt as it pops out of second gear sometimes; but that's a $10K expense i'm avoiding, lol


But yea, i think you're on to something. Impala is never meant to be fast...it's a cruiser.


Maybe a blower on the tundra (or man up and buy a raptor)

 

Can't complain 700/700 on Pump, that's insane.

 

If your thinking of putting a blower on the Tundra might as well do the new Raptop. That is unless you would rather do the Tundra A) to be different than all those riding around in the Raptors and B) you already own the Tundra.

 

V8 blower > 6 cylinder Turbo

 

6cyl twin turbo with tune don't those things make north of 500hp?

 

6 cylinder twin turbski all the way .... but you know, I'm not biased or anything
