So just me, @bajajoaquin and @Stormer dig this look?

Remember 440Sled? He juiced his front end in that 67 New Yorker and then did the lace top. He's on board (but has largely moved to the Lay it Low forum).

I for one am indifferent to the styling as it’s not what I would do with that car. I do have to admit, even though it’s a colossal waste of a car, hydraulics do look fun to have. I was just surprised to see that somebody would do that with what I assume is a pretty hard car to obtain in the UK. His pounds tho

Plus if some lucky American is willing to buy it, he gets to deal with the Imperial hydraulic thread pitch or whatever that crap was I had to deal with on my JCB Backhoe LOL

Thank god that guy saved that car. He turned it from a crabby old man’s car into straight pimp.

Hey, Ross, how many commoners from the unwashed masses with Hellcats have eaten your lunch so far.

Welcome back...

While I love the look of the Pimperial... I just can't all the way like this Formal...

So just me, @bajajoaquin and @Stormer dig this look?

I hate the hydraulics in it... and the too small tires just suck...

Ross got a lot of things right in the look of his car... things that make this one just look like somebody turned down the T-bars to match weak rear springs.
Custom touches like the "door knob shifter" don't add any class to car that looks to have started off fairly nice... this build lacks appeal IMO because it started by hurting a beloved model and then resulted in a cheap, quick and dirty look...

Maybe some better pictures would help it a little... but to me the appeal of this one is similar to the love I feel when someone paints over 100+ year old woodwork to "modernize" the look.

When you tear up the exhaust on manhole covers, when your HVAC operates from an unmounted toggle switch, when the starter isn't reliable, and when it piddles on the street; while at the same time you've got thousands invested in making the suspension do weird ****, you haven't created something envyable, you've only created a rolling stereotype-clownmobile.



And I'll never understand why people strive to be "pimps", when pimps are regarded as underworld bottom-feeders. I'd rather have a car that looks like it belongs to the guy who manages pension funds and "solves problems" vs. The guy who's borderline fanuc and slaps women around because he's angry about it.

Only one kitty in town has anything for me, so far, but he’s spent a bunch of cash. It’s pretty much a coin toss when we line up.

This is a legit segment of the car culture and I’m sure 98% of the owners of cars like this don’t slap their woman around and in fact probably a similar percentage of pension fund managers have those tendencies.

Hey Ross.

What’s up, buddy? How’s business?
