AWDALBERT SAVES THE DAY!

Albert (AWDALBERT on the forums) came over today and rolled both my scoobys at such an amazing price, u would have to be high as a kite to pass up his services at such a good deal. now, with that being said i was very pleased by his work and his skills/talent.


up first was mr. silverthorne, the daily driving hoe-bag. this was just the typical normal fender rolling job done on mr. silverthorne, nothing really speacial but it really did help because i had issues with my 38+ offset wheels that were on this car which had some heavy duty rubbing.


and last but not least, the beast that sleeps, BARNEY! yah i officially nicknamed him after that gay purple dinosaur after i recently just dissed him in my previous post. i think i was tipsy when i wrote that. but anyways, barney went under the knife big time, the fenders were rolled and smashed together shut, pancake style (as mr albert likes to call it). then the fenders were pulled outward, giving it a "bubbled" look...........or should i say blistered fenders.



thanks again albert!

connect 4

got all 4 installed now, sittin real low but not low enough for my taste. once i put a engine and tranny the car should be real real low, right where i want it. the front fender was a "test fender" for the purple paint i did with a rattle can, different shade of purple.

ridin' low

got me some cheap coilovers, generic no-name ones but they will do for now................temporarily.


i only did the backside of the car for now, just to see how they fit. right now the car is missing about 500+ pounds (engine+transmission) which usually keeps the rest of the car down with its weight, so in actuality the car would sit lower than what u see in the pics.
