Creepy Cruiser Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 That is one of the coolest dimes I've ever seen, lol. I'm not sure why, but it just sits so killer. Quote Link to comment

phobos Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 http://www.violentrunning.squidd.org/news/2009/07/goodnight-sleep-tight/ Happened today. Real sad. I'm going to rebuild for the sake of it. I felt cheated building this 510 and having it burn... Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sheesh! Sorry to see that, Phobos... Was a sweet dime. If you rebuild it, that will be one HELLUVA Ratsun! Keep the plates, though! Turned out kind of neat. Glad you made it out of the car! Quote Link to comment
BoostinBen Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Man now that is just shitty... You going to rebuild it? good for you. Thats what I call dedication. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 http://www.violentrunning.squidd.org/news/2009/07/goodnight-sleep-tight/ Happened today. Real sad. I'm going to rebuild for the sake of it. I felt cheated building this 510 and having it burn... I would so totally fix that. But I would redo the interior, engine, and suspension but leave the body exactly as it is. You can't beat "patina" like that. :D Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Only thing to keep in mind about having a big car fire like that is that when metal is heated to that extent, it does become pretty brittle. Definitely have things looked over before it gets back on the road, but it would look pretty rad, and have such a great story behind it! Quote Link to comment
goatee Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 My new to me 73. It's already got plenty of rivets in the rear flares already so I've been thinking about the street fighter theme fisch drew up. It's not low enough (at all) or fast enough to do it justice though. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Haha build it street fighter style, and the speed will follow.... As far as ride height, that can be fixed with either cutting springs (free) or new springs (cheap). Done, and done! Quote Link to comment
