goichi1 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Cool! you should swing by the house and check my project.....it's a long way from being finished. I should be here all weekend, probably going to do the ball joints on the 720 tomorrow, among other things. You are more than welcome to stop by anytime. I'll PM my number. Rich Quote Link to comment

jalen Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I like the idea of a wooden rack. But that one doesn't look that good with the 510 Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 its not done yet, but i agree it looks a little out of place, i was thinking about a basket but this is what i had for material laying around, see what happens, i was bored today and decided to go for it Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 That rack is ridiculous. I appreciate the work, but it looks horibble. I hope you have big plans that will save it... Otherwise, it needs to go. 1 Quote Link to comment

jalen Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 What if you lowered it a little more and either cut it so its the same shape as the roof and stain it or make a basket. Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Vintage what did u think of the rack in person? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm obviously not Vintage, but I bet it would look far better if it were a lot lower. Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Like I said haha Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think it looks fine. If you stain it, rising sun. That's what I want to do to my longboard.. Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think the rack looks awesome, I would add some metal railing around it if possible but otherwise stain it dark red and rock it. Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I like slammed 4 doors with racks. Kinda tiki esk. Looks good. I mean what'dya got too loose. U have a backup 510! Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I "acquired" a new front grill, not pictured, it looks way better then my bent up one, also painted the bumpers, and tailight trim as well as replace my busted out taillight, looks soooo much better, interior is almost complete, i mounted a fire extinguisher today on the passenger side floor/kicker panel... slowly but surely, before you know it ill be replacing body panels and fixing rust! Still playing with the whole rack thing, dont like the color and still trying to make it look better, we shall see what happens with that The thought about lower crossed my mind today, i had to tell myself no, not worth it..... for now! Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I take that back, the "new" grill is pictured in the middle picture! And new tires are on my list... those narrow ugly things need to go, theyll still be a little stretch but not as much and not as tall either Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 The thought about lower crossed my mind today, i had to tell myself no, not worth it..... for now! Not worth it at all ... you can only go like 1/2" lower than the front control arms dragging ... before the frame rails drag under your feet .... I love how your car looks in the back,, any lower looks stupid .. .. did you already have to cut mini-tubs? (not worth it IMO) Let me know what your plans for lower are,, because I only wanted another inch or so lower than where you're at now,, and I don't think it's possible (there's a few cuts I made, that just immediately went from, "just a little lower" to "oh, fuck, it's ruined" ... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 indy u got way more than a inch that u were going for....your shit is moar loar then any 510 will ever bee....spud like the rack ... probably scaled down would be more what your going for... i rermember one guy i new made a basket for his roof rack out of bambo.... even had sides that were like 2.5 inches tall...looked cool....i like where your headed... hate those wheels though so send them to me ...moar nower pleaz Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 rack is growing on me but needs moar lowar. Quote Link to comment
